How to Check Your NABTEB Result (Online & SMS) — Complete Step-by-Step Guide
Waiting for your NABTEB (National Business and Technical Examinations Board) result can be stressful — especially when you’re not sure how to check it correctly. This guide walks you through both the online and SMS methods, lists everything you need before you start, and shows how to troubleshoot common problems (like invalid or incomplete serial numbers).
What you need before you begin
- Candidate Identification Number (your NABTEB exam number).
- Scratch card serial number and PIN — you can purchase this from the official NABTEB portal or at affordable rates from Alphayem Computer Institute, Magbon. Contact us on 07038543405 (Call/WhatsApp) or visit alphayem.com.ng.
- A working phone or internet connection (mobile data or Wi-Fi).
- Your exam session details (e.g., May/June or Nov/Dec and the exam year).
Method 1 — Check NABTEB result online (recommended)
- Open your browser and visit the official NABTEB e-portal for results: eworld.nabteb.gov.ng.
- Locate the Result Checker or Result section on the portal.
- Enter your Candidate Identification Number exactly as it appears on your exam slip.
- Select the Exam Type (e.g., May/June or Nov/Dec) and the correct Exam Year.
- Enter the Card Serial Number and the PIN from your scratch card.
- Click Submit or Check Result. The system will display your result on screen; you can print or save it as a PDF.
Tips for a smooth online check
- Use a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox) and clear browser cache if the portal is slow or returns errors.
- If payment or PIN was sent by email after purchase, copy/paste numbers carefully — avoid extra spaces.
- Print or screenshot the result for your records.
Method 2 — Check NABTEB result by SMS
If you prefer or if the portal is busy, you can check results via SMS. Use the format below (confirm latest shortcode with NABTEB before sending):
NABTEB*ExamNo*PIN*ExamYear send to 32327
Example: NABTEB*01001001*123456789012*2025
SMS charges apply depending on your network operator. Results will be returned to you in a text message.
Troubleshooting — common problems and solutions
1. “Invalid serial number” or your serial shows as a single letter (e.g., “W”)
If the serial number you received is incomplete (for example, just the letter “W”) it is invalid. Do the following:
- Double-check the purchase email or SMS from the vendor. Sometimes the full serial/PIN are split across lines; copy carefully.
- Confirm you bought the PIN from the official NABTEB portal (eworld.nabteb.gov.ng) or from a trusted center like Alphayem Computer Institute, Magbon.
- Contact the vendor for replacement or refund — show them the receipt or transaction ID.
- If the vendor does not help, escalate to NABTEB support via their official channels (visit nabteb.gov.ng for contact details).
2. Portal keeps timing out or “service busy”
Try again during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening). If problem persists, try the SMS option or contact NABTEB support.
3. No result shown (still processing)
Some results take time to be uploaded. Confirm the official release date on the NABTEB website or your school, then check again after that date.
