The final exams are done, and now the anxious wait begins. For thousands of students across Tanzania, the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), or Standard Seven exam, is a crucial milestone that marks the end of their primary education journey.
If you are a student, parent, or guardian eagerly waiting for the 2025/2026 results, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from when to expect the results to the simple steps for checking them online or with your phone.
About NECTA (The National Examinations Council of Tanzania)
The National Examinations Council of Tanzania, widely known as NECTA, is the official government body responsible for administering all national examinations in the country, including the PSLE. Established in 1973, its mission is to ensure that all exams are fair, valid, and of high quality.
The Role of NECTA in the Standard Seven Exams
When it comes to the Standard Seven exams, NECTA has several key responsibilities:
- Setting the Exams: They develop and prepare the examination papers for all subjects.
- Administering the Exams: They oversee the entire process to ensure it runs smoothly and securely across all schools.
- Marking and Grading: After the exams, NECTA is responsible for the marking process and assigning grades to every student.
- Publishing Results: Finally, NECTA is the official source for releasing the results to the public.
By managing this entire process, NECTA ensures that the selection for secondary school is based on a fair and standardized system.
When Will the 2025/2026 Results Be Released?
While NECTA does not announce a fixed date far in advance, the Standard Seven (PSLE) results are typically released in late November or early December.
The best way to know the exact date is to keep an eye on the official NECTA website and major news outlets. We advise you to be patient and avoid rumors. The official announcement will come directly from NECTA.
How to Check Your Exam Results
Once the results are officially released, there are two straightforward ways to verify them. All you need is the student’s examination number (also called the index number).

This is the easiest method if you have access to the internet on a smartphone or computer.

Method 2: Checking Results via SMS/Mobile Phone
If you don’t have internet access, you may be able to check the results using a special SMS code. Please note that the exact format and number can change, so always confirm with official NECTA announcements.

What to Do If You Fail the Exams?
Receiving disappointing results can be tough, but it’s crucial to remember that this isn’t the end of your journey. An exam result does not define your future or your intelligence. There are many paths to success.
If you don’t pass, here are some positive steps you can consider:
- Repeat the Year: You can register to repeat Standard Seven and re-sit the exam the following year, giving you another chance to succeed.
- Vocational Training (VETA): This is an excellent option. Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA) colleges across Tanzania offer practical skills training in fields like mechanics, tailoring, electrical installation, cooking, and many other areas. These skills are in high demand and can lead to a great career.
- Private Candidate: You can also register as a private candidate to re-sit the examination later.
- Explore Your Talents: Many successful people have built careers on their talents in sports, art, music, or business. This is a good time to explore what you are passionate about.
Final Thoughts
We wish every student the very best of luck. This is a big moment, and regardless of the outcome, you should be proud of the hard work you have put in throughout your primary education.
To those who pass, congratulations on your achievement! To those who may not get the results they wanted, remember to stay positive. There are many different ways to build a successful and happy life. This is just one step on a much longer journey.
