2026 BECE, BAICE, QE and SAIQE Registration Extended in Kaduna State – New Deadline and Important Details
The Kaduna State Schools Quality Assurance Authority (KSSQAA) has announced an important update regarding the registration for the 2026 BECE, BAICE, QE, and SAIQE examinations.
According to the official notice released on 16th March 2026, the registration period for these examinations has been extended to give schools that have not completed their registration another opportunity to do so.
This update is very important for school administrators, principals, examination officers, parents, and students across Kaduna State who are preparing for these examinations.
Schools that are not yet to complete the registration process are strongly advised to take advantage of this extension and complete all required steps before the new deadline.
Why the Registration Deadline Was Extended
In many cases, examination registration periods are extended when some schools or candidates are unable to complete their registration before the original closing date.
The Kaduna State Schools Quality Assurance Authority decided to extend the deadline to ensure that no eligible student is left out of the 2026 examination exercise.
This extension gives schools additional time to:
Purchase registration PINs where required
Complete candidate registration
Upload and confirm student biodata
Correct errors in submitted student information
By providing this extra time, the authority aims to ensure that the registration process is accurate, complete, and well-organized before the examinations begin.
New Timeline for the 2026 Examination Registration
The KSSQAA portal officially reopened on Monday, 16th March 2026 to allow schools complete their registration activities.
Below are the updated timelines provided by the authority.
Purchase of Registration PINs (Private Schools Only)
Private schools that have not purchased their registration PINs can now do so within the following period:
16th March 24th March 2026
Private school administrators are advised to ensure that all required PINs are purchased within this timeframe so that candidate registration can proceed smoothly.
Completion of Candidate Registration (Public and Private Schools)
Both public and private schools must complete the registration of candidates within the period below:
16th March – 28th March 2026
This means all candidate details must be uploaded and submitted before the registration window closes.
Schools that fail to complete candidate registration within this period may risk having their students excluded from the examination process.
Student Biodata Update Deadline
Another important part of the registration process is ensuring that student biodata information is correct and properly uploaded.
The authority has given schools until:
30th April 2026
to update and correct student biodata on the portal.
This step is important because incorrect student information may cause issues during the examination process, including problems with examination records or result processing.
Schools are therefore encouraged to carefully review and confirm the following details:
Student full names
Date of birth
School information
Candidate identification details
Making sure that these records are accurate will help avoid unnecessary complications later.
How Schools Can Update Student Information
Schools that need to update student information can do so through the official KSSQAA portal.
To update student biodata, follow these steps:
Visit the official portal
Navigate to the Examination section
Open the School Representative Portal
Click on Students Management
Select the student’s record
Click View and Edit Information
After making the necessary corrections, schools should save the updated information to ensure the records are properly stored in the system.

Important Warning for Schools and Candidates
The Kaduna State Schools Quality Assurance Authority has clearly stated that any candidate who is not properly registered within the stipulated period will not be allowed to sit for the examination.
This means schools must treat the registration extension as a final opportunity to complete all necessary processes.
School administrators are encouraged to:
Verify that all eligible students have been registered
Double-check student details before submission
Complete registration well before the deadline
Waiting until the last day may lead to system congestion or technical issues.
Support and Contact Information
Schools that encounter any technical issues during the registration or biodata update process can contact the authority for assistance.
Support contact details provided in the notice include:
Email: info@kssqaa.org.ng
Telephone: +234 916 003 6969
Reaching out to the support team early can help schools resolve problems quickly and avoid delays in completing the registration process.
Why This Update Is Important for Parents and Students
Parents and students should also be aware of this extension because the BECE, BAICE, QE, and SAIQE examinations are important academic assessments.
These examinations play a key role in:
Evaluating students’ academic progress
Determining readiness for the next level of education
Supporting school academic records
Because of this, parents are encouraged to confirm with their schools that registration has been completed successfully.
Taking this small step can help ensure that students do not miss the opportunity to participate in the examinations.
Final Advice for Schools and Candidates
The extension of the 2026 BECE, BAICE, QE, and SAIQE examination registration provides schools with an important opportunity to complete any pending tasks.
All schools that have not finalized their registration should act quickly and make sure that all candidate details are properly submitted before the deadlines.
Completing the process early will help avoid last-minute issues and ensure that all eligible students are successfully registered for the examinations.
School authorities, parents, and education stakeholders are also encouraged to share this information widely so that no student misses the opportunity due to lack of awareness.
