How to check your SHS placement on the CSSPS

Before one can access the computerised placement system, candidates or their parents should first obtain a special pin code from one of the GES-certified vendors.

After the pin code has been obtained the following steps may be followed:

  1. Log onto the CSSPS website, which is www.cssps.gov.gh
  2. On the platform put in the BECE candidates 10-digit index number and add 22 (the year of completion). So if the index number is '1234567890' you put that in and add '22'
  3. Now enter the details of the pin code (serial number and pin) obtained from the GES-approved vendor
  4. After this click on the "submit" button and wait for the placement to show up
  5. You may print the form if you have been placed and visit the school to begin the admission process.
