Where can I download NECO Timetable pdf 2023?: How can I get the NECO timetable for science students, art and commercial students?
This is the current NECO timetable 2023 that contains subjects both for art and Social science students. Some candidates are still asking whether the NECO timetable is out for 2023. The truth is that the NECO SSCE timetable for Nigerian students has already been released and published online.
This timetable should come as no surprise because in every examination fixed, either WAEC, NABTEB, NECO, GCE or even JAMB, there is always a timetable that is created to help guide you, so you will know when you have your next papers, the date, time and how long you have, to prepare for the examination.
We can’t overemphasise the important role played by timetables in the life of candidates. Over the years, I have sadly seen cases of candidates who missed some of their papers in NECO simply because they were not aware they had papers that day. This is why as a candidate, it is crucial you download the NECO timetable pdf on your smartphone.
