What has UNEB said about the 2024 UCE Results Release Date?
The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has debunked claims circulating on social media that the 2024 Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) results will be released on Friday, February 7, 2025.
In an official statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), UNEB Principal Public Relations Officer Jennifer Kalule-Musamba clarified that no official release date has been set yet. She urged the public to disregard misinformation being spread by various online platforms.
“The public is hereby informed that the 2024 UCE results shall NOT be released on Friday, February 7th, as alleged on some platforms,” she stated.
UNEB also emphasized that the results for the first cohort of the New Lower Secondary Curriculum and the last cohort of the Old Curriculum/Transitional candidates will be officially announced once the date is confirmed.
The exams body advised students, parents, and schools to rely on UNEB’s official communication channels for accurate updates.
What were the fake blogs saying about the 2024 UCE Results Release Date?
This clarification follows a surge of misleading reports on social media and blogs falsely claiming that the results would be released this week. UNEB has consistently warned against such speculative announcements, which create unnecessary anxiety among candidates and stakeholders. It is important to note that the 2024 UCE Results Release Date will be officially communicated by UNEB and it will be published on Kampala Edge Times magazine for your convenience! For now, the official dates have not been communicated!
As the examination board finalizes preparations for the official release, the public is encouraged to stay patient and await an official announcement from UNEB.

How to check 2024 UCE Results
Checking UCE Results via SMS
This method is perfect for anyone with mobile phones whether with Internet access or not. Here’s how to check your UCE results via SMS:
1. Open your messaging app
Access your phone’s messaging application and start a new message. In the message body, type “UCE <space> Your Index Number.” Ensure you include the space between “UCE” and your index number. For example, if your index number is U008876/003, your message would read “UCE U008876/003.”
2. Send the Message
Once you’ve double-checked the accuracy of your index number, send the message to the shortcode 6600.
3. Receive UCE Results (SMS Charges Apply)
You’ll receive a reply message containing your performance in each subject after the UCE results have been released upon your check. Keep in mind that standard SMS charges apply to this service.
Check your UCE results online
To access your UCE results conveniently and at no cost, follow these steps:
1. Ensure you have a stable internet connection.
2. Visit the official Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) website.
3. Navigate to the “Results” or “Verification of Results” section.
4. Input your unique UCE index number, provided during registration.
5. Click on the “Search” or “Submit” button to proceed.
6. If the results are available, you’ll be directed to a page showing your comprehensive UCE results, detailing your performance in each subject.
3. Check with your school administrator
While UCE results may be available online and via SMS, you may prefer to receive them through your school’s administrators. This method offers a personal touch and allows students to clarify any questions they might have about their scores. Schools typically receive the official results shortly after their online release and it’s more comprehensive compared to the one available to students.
Students can visit their school administration office and inquire about result retrieval. The administrator will likely have a printed list or electronic copy available for students to access their results.
