For example for PLE, type Reg, Leave space, type full index Number e.g. 134569/001, and then send to 6600 Similarly for UCE, type Reg, leave space, type full index Number c.g. U0889/001. then send to 6600 For UACE, type Reg leave space, type full index Number e.g. U0787/501; then send to 6600.
Candidates and parents should confirm the registration status, correctness of names, order of names, and the papers registered for, in the case of UCE and UACE candidates.
In the event that their anomalies that need to be corrected, parents should inform the school authorities immediately, who will, in turn, inform UNEB to make the required amendments. UNEB says that detailed and cleaned-up registers of the candidates shall later be displayed at the schools/Examination Centers, as well as the District Headquarters.
