As the excitement and anticipation build among South African matriculants, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) has confirmed that the results of the 2024 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations will be announced by Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube in Pretoria on 13 January 2025. Students will have the opportunity to collect their results the following day, 14 January 2025, at centres where they completed their exams.
The official release of results is a highly awaited event in the academic calendar, marking a pivotal moment for the thousands of learners who have worked tirelessly throughout their school years. With the anticipation peaking, the DBE has taken to social media, urging students to visit their exam centres to obtain their original statements of results from the 14th.
Starting from 6 am on 14 January, candidates will also have the option to check their results online via the DBE’s dedicated website, providing a quick and convenient way to access their performance. This dual approach aims to cater to all students, ensuring that they can access their results in a timely manner.
For those who find discrepancies in their results, the DBE has specified that learners must submit any queries for investigation within 30 days of the release. It is essential for candidates to ensure that their names and identity numbers are accurately reflected on their statement of results. Any necessary corrections should be reported to the Department of Basic Education before 21 February 2025 to prevent future complications.
