• In a case where an irregularity is being investigated, provisional enrolment for NSC June examination may be granted to the candidate concerned, pending the outcome of the investigation.

What can I do if I do not qualify to write the June NSC examination?

Candidates, who do not qualify to write the June NSC examination, have the following options:

• Re-enrol for the NSC as a full-time repeater candidate at a school without delay, provided that the candidate is younger than 21 years of age. Candidates need to enrol for 7 subjects(including Life Orientation) and have to comply with all SBA requirements.
• Register as a part-time repeater candidate at a Public Adult Education Centre.
• Register for the Senior Certificate (SC) examination which is a school leaving qualification for adults and out-of school learners who are above 21 years of age.
• Alternatively, candidates that were not successful in their examinations could consider vocational education and training. There are 50 Public Further Education and Training (FET) colleges across all provinces of South Africa comprising over 300 campuses or teaching sites.

The results will be made available on 14 January 2025 and all learners who want to make use of the service must register with their exam number on the platform of their choice to access their results.
