How to Check Your 2026 School Placement

Candidates can check their placement by following these steps:

1. Visit the official CSSPS Portal at www.cssps.gov.gh.
2. Select “Check Placement.”
3. Enter your BECE Index Number (including the last two digits of your examination year eg. 2026).
4. Enter your Date of Birth as used during registration.
5. Sign in to view your placement details.

What If You Are Not Placed?

Candidates who are not placed in any of their selected schools should not panic.

The CSSPS portal provides a Self-Placement option, allowing eligible students to choose from schools and programmes with available vacancies after checking their placement status.

Why the Placement Was Delayed

The placement results were originally expected earlier in the week but were postponed after the Ministry identified thousands of candidates whose school-choice data had not been uploaded onto the CSSPS platform.

According to the Ministry, the extension allowed affected students to complete the required data submission before placements were finalised, ensuring that qualified candidates were not left out of the exercise. <Cite refs={[“turn0search2″,”turn0search7”]}/>

Stay Alert for Fake Placement Links

As excitement builds across the country, authorities are warning candidates and parents to avoid fake placement websites and misleading social media links.

The official portal remains the only authorised platform for checking 2026 SHS and TVET placements.

Students are encouraged to save their placement details and follow the admission instructions provided by their assigned schools after successfully accessing their results. <Cite refs={[“turn0search7″,”turn0search0”]}/>
