Historically, UNEB tends to release UACE results in early March, as seen with the 2023 UACE results, which were released on March 7, 2024. The slight shift to March 14 for the 2024 results aligns with the board’s pattern of announcing results within the first two weeks of March, though delays have occasionally occurred in previous years due to logistical challenges or scheduling conflicts with the Ministry of Education. The 2024 UACE examinations, conducted in November and December of the previous year, saw a significant increase in candidates, with 142,009 students registered across 2,634 centers nationwide—a 22.1% rise compared to the 110,579 candidates in 2023. This growth reflects the increasing number of students pursuing advanced-level education in Uganda.
The release ceremony at State House Nakasero is expected to be presided over by the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Janet Museveni, continuing the tradition of high-level oversight for such announcements.
How To Check UNEB UACE 2024 Results
Following the official release, students will be able to access their results through multiple channels. One common method is via SMS, where candidates can send a text message with “UACE” followed by their full index number (e.g., “UACE U0001/501”) to the shortcode 6600, at a cost of UGX 500 per message. Alternatively, results will be available online through the UNEB eReg Portal (ereg.uneb.ac.ug), where candidates can enter their index numbers to view their detailed performance. Heads of examination centers will also be able to download results from the UNEB portal for distribution.
Public Reaction to the UNEB UACE Release Date
The announcement has sparked widespread anticipation, as these results will determine university admissions and other tertiary education opportunities for thousands of Ugandan students. While the date of March 14, 2025, has been widely circulated and confirmed through posts on X and various news outlets, it’s worth noting that UNEB has occasionally adjusted release dates in the past. However, as of the current date, March 12, 2025, the uneb Uace 2024 release schedule appears firm, with no indications of postponement. Students and stakeholders are advised to stay tuned to official UNEB communications for any last-minute updates.
