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.

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.
