How to Check Your 2024 PLE Results — A KAWA Guide

The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) will release the 2024 Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) results on Thursday, 23 January 2025. Whether you are a candidate, parent, teacher, or an education enthusiast, KAWA has you covered with a quick, phone-friendly guide to getting results the moment they go live.


1. Fastest Way: SMS to 6600

  1. Open your messages app.
  2. TypePLE — add one space — then enter the full index number (including the slash).
    • Example: PLE 003301/368
  3. Send the text to 6600 (works on MTN, Airtel, Lyca, and all other Ugandan networks).
  4. Wait a few seconds. An automated reply will display the candidate’s individual subject grades and aggregate.

Standard SMS charges apply; keep at least UGX 500 airtime to ensure delivery.


2. Online Options

While UNEB’s main portal link remains under maintenance, results will still be accessible in three convenient ways:

  • More candidates: 798,771 pupils registered (a 6.6 % rise from 2023’s 749,254).
