O-Level Combo Validator (WAEC + NECO)
Combined your results across two sittings, or mixed WAEC with NECO, to hit five credits? Some scholarship boards accept that without blinking; others quietly disqualify you for it — and a few want a specific minimum grade in core subjects, not just a bare credit. Set your combination below and see exactly where you stand, scholarship by scholarship, before you spend a week on an application form.

Why sittings, exam bodies, and grades all matter separately
Nigerian university admission generally accepts five credits — including English Language and Mathematics — combined across up to two sittings of WAEC and/or NECO. That's the baseline most students plan around, and it's the most forgiving standard on this page.
Scholarships add their own, often stricter, layers on top of that baseline:
| Layer | What it checks | Example pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Sitting count | Did all your credits come from one exam sitting, or were they combined across two? | Some boards accept only one sitting, regardless of exam body |
| Exam body mixing | If you used two sittings, were they the same body (WAEC+WAEC) or mixed (WAEC+NECO)? | A board might accept two WAEC sittings but reject a WAEC+NECO mix |
| Minimum grade | Not just "credit or not" — some boards want at least a B3 in specific core subjects | A D7 (a pass, not a credit) in a core science subject can disqualify you even if your total credit count is fine |
