Candidates who sat the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) can access their Senior High School (SHS) or Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) placement through the official Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal.
The CSSPS portal is the only authorised platform for checking placement results. Candidates are strongly advised against using unofficial websites or paying individuals who claim to offer placement services.

How to Access 2026 BECE placement
To begin, open a web browser and navigate to the official CSSPS website. On the homepage, select the "Check Placement" option found under the placement services section, which will direct you to the candidate login page.
From there, enter your 10-digit BECE Index Number, which should include the relevant year digits as required by the portal for the 2026 placement cycle. You will also need to provide the date of birth used during BECE registration. Once both fields are correctly filled, click "Sign In" to proceed.
If your placement has been released and your details are accurate, the system will display your assigned school, programme of study, residential status (boarding or day), and any other relevant placement information.
Candidates should download and print both their placement slip and enrolment form where available, and the CSSPS advises keeping digital and printed copies for admission purposes.
Options if BECE candidate is not placed
Candidates who were not automatically assigned to any of their selected schools may be eligible for the Self-Placement option.
Through this process, eligible candidates can choose from schools and programmes that still have available vacancies, with the options depending on current availability at the time of selection.
It is important to note that automatic placement is considered final. The Self-Placement option exists solely for candidates who were not assigned a school through the automatic process.
The CSSPS has also cautioned candidates to safeguard their BECE details and to use only the official portal. Paying anyone who claims to influence or guarantee a placement outcome is strongly discouraged.

Why BECE candidates can't check SHS placement
One of the most common reasons parents may be unable to retrieve their children’s placement information is an incorrect date of birth.
The CSSPS portal requires parents to enter the exact date of birth provided during the candidate’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) registration. Even a small difference in the day, month or year can cause the system to reject the information and prevent the candidate’s details from being verified.
An incorrect BECE Index Number can also prevent parents from accessing the placement information. Parents should carefully check all the digits in the index number, including the examination-year digits, and ensure they have been entered correctly before trying again.
In some cases, however, the problem may not be caused by the parent. A candidate’s results or placement information may not have been fully processed or uploaded to the CSSPS system.
Where this happens, parents may need to wait and try checking the portal again later. If the problem persists, they should contact the candidate’s school or the appropriate education authorities to verify the information and determine whether any correction is required.
