The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has issued a final appeal to heads of examination centres across the country to register all eligible candidates for the 2026 national examinations before the registration deadline of Friday, 31 July 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board has warned that no candidate will be registered after the deadline, urging schools to utilise the remaining time to ensure that every eligible learner is captured for this year’s Primary Leaving Examination (PLE), Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to UNEB Principal Public Relations Officer Jennifer Kalule-Musamba, the ongoing registration exercise has entered its final phase, which attracts surcharge fees for late registration. She stressed that the deadline is final and that the Board will not extend the registration period beyond 31 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The registration exercise for all candidates will end on Friday, 31 July 2026. After this date, UNEB will not be in a position to register any more candidates for this year’s examinations,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the final registration phase, PLE candidates are required to pay UGX 68,000, which represents a 100 per cent surcharge on the normal registration fee. Meanwhile, UCE candidates will pay UGX 240,000, while UACE candidates will pay UGX 279,000, reflecting a 50 per cent surcharge applicable to the two examination levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNEB has called upon heads of all registered examination centres to make every effort to identify and register candidates who have not yet completed the process. The Board emphasised that schools should also verify candidates’ registration details to avoid errors that could affect learners during the examination period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Board noted that timely registration is essential for the planning and administration of national examinations, including the preparation of candidates’ data, examination materials and deployment of resources across examination centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents and guardians have also been encouraged to work closely with schools to ensure that all registration requirements are fulfilled before the deadline. UNEB cautioned that candidates who fail to register by 31 July 2026 will not be eligible to sit this year’s national examinations, as no additional registration window will be opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement serves as the final reminder to all examination centres to complete the registration exercise within the stipulated timeframe and avoid disadvantaging learners due to late registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNEB continues to urge school administrators to use the remaining days to confirm that every eligible candidate has been registered, ensuring a smooth and credible conduct of the 2026 national examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
