Every year, thousands of students anxiously await their West African Examinations Council (WAEC) results, a pivotal moment in their educational journey. However, there are instances where the outcome is not as expected or simply elusive. Understanding the significance of terms like “Not Available,” “Withheld,” and “Cancelled” can provide much-needed clarity in these situations.
1. Result Not Available for this Candidate in the Specified Year and Exams Diet:
This phrase may prompt initial concern, but it’s essential to remain calm. There are two likely explanations: results have yet to be uploaded, or an incorrect exam year was selected during the result check. Patience is key, as the results could appear later. Ensure that you’ve chosen the right exam type and year to avoid unnecessary stress.
2. Result Showing Withheld:
A “Withheld” result occurs when candidates from a specific center obtain similar grades. WAEC initiates an investigation to determine if malpractice influenced the outcomes. If foul play is confirmed, the results will be confiscated. However, if no wrongdoing is found, the results might be released. It’s important to note that the chances of release here are low.
3. Result Showing Cancelled:
When a result displays “Cancelled,” the implications are severe. There’s no turning back, and the result won’t be released. Candidates facing this outcome often consider registering for the General Certificate Examination (GCE) or pinning their hopes on the National Examinations Council (NECO) as an alternative route.

4. Result Showing Outstanding:
An “Outstanding” result suggests that there’s potential for a favorable outcome. It typically arises when a student is present for the exams, but the grading for specific subjects isn’t finalized. This could be due to reasons like incomplete answer sheets or other factors. Candidates in this situation should remain patient and hopeful for the eventual release of their results.
5. Result Showing Held:
Similar to “Withheld,” a “Held” result is often tied to concerns of malpractice or other exam-related offenses. It can also occur if a school or exam center is implicated in misconduct. If the investigation clears the school and candidates, there’s a possibility that WAEC will release the results. However, if the result changes to “Cancelled,” prospects diminish drastically.
6. Result Showing Indebted:
Encountering “Indebted” on your WAEC portal signifies that your state government owes WAEC money, causing the delay in result release. It’s important to understand that this issue is beyond individual control, as the state government is working toward settling the dues and facilitating the release of results.
Finally, understanding these terms helps students and their families navigate the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies result-checking season. Remember that patience, adherence to guidelines, and awareness of the underlying reasons behind certain result statuses are essential. Whether it’s a hopeful “Outstanding,” an apprehensive “Withheld,” or the unfortunate “Cancelled,” these result indications are part and parcel of the educational journey.
