The Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) has set October – December 2022 as the period for conducting the national examinations. Accordingly, the Board hereby releases the calendar/schedule of key dates and activities before the final conduct of the 2022 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE), Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) examinations.
Registration of candidates
The normal registration of candidates at all levels (PLE, UCE and UACE) commences this month of February and will go on until 31st May 2022. For candidates who may miss registering during the normal period, a period has been set for late registration, starting from 1st to 30th June 2022. Late registration, however, attracts a surcharge of 50% of the total registration fees at the UCE and UACE levels, and a 100% surcharge at the PLE level.
Registration Fees
The Board has maintained the registration fees for candidates at all levels as follows:
| Level of Examination | Normal registration Fees (UGX) | Sur-charge for late registration | Total late registration fees (UGX) |
| PLE | 34,000/= | 100% | 68,000/= |
| UCE | 164,000/= | 50% | 246,000/= |
| UACE | 186,000/= | 50% | 279,000/= |
As it has always been the case, the government will pay the registration fees for all the candidates sponsored under any of the three programs of Universal Primary Education (UPE), Universal Secondary Education (USE) and the Universal Post-O level Education and Training program (UPOLET).
