- Your BECE Index Number (e.g., 0123456789)
- Examination Year (e.g., 2025)

- PIN
- Serial Number

Follow these steps:
- Go to the official CSSPS portal:
https://cssps.gov.gh - Click on the “Check Placement” button.
- Enter your BECE Index Number and add the year (e.g., 012345678925).
- Input your eVoucher PIN and Serial Number.

When are the 2025 CSSPS placement results released?
The release date for CSSPS placement results varies each year but typically occurs a few weeks or months after the release of the BECE results. Official announcements from the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Ghana Education Service (GES) will confirm the exact date. Keep an eye on national news outlets, the GES website, and the official CSSPS portal for updates.
What if I am not placed in any of my choices (Self-Placement)?
If the system indicates that you have not been automatically placed, you will likely be redirected to the “Self-Placement” module. This means:
- You will see a list of schools and programs that still have vacancies.
- You can select a school and program from these available options based on your BECE aggregate and residential preference (Day or Boarding).
- You can change your self-placement choice multiple times before you officially enroll in a school. Once you report to and begin the enrollment process at a school, your choice becomes final.
What if I forget my BECE Index Number or my Access Code/PIN?
- BECE Index Number: This is on your BECE result slip. If you don’t have it, contact your former Junior High School (JHS) for assistance.
- Access Code/PIN:
- If it was a free SMS code, check the phone number used during BECE registration.
- If you purchased a voucher, check your SMS messages or email from the vendor. Many online voucher platforms offer a retrieval option using your phone number or transaction ID.
Is there a helpline or support center for CSSPS placement issues?
Yes, the Ministry of Education and GES usually set up dedicated helplines and support centers (often at regional GES offices or specific schools) during the placement period. Look out for official announcements that will provide these contact details.
What should I do after checking my placement and confirming my school?
- Print Multiple Copies: Print several copies of your placement slip.
- Gather Required Documents: Prepare your BECE result slip, placement slip, and any other documents the school might require (e.g., passport photos, birth certificate copies).
- Report to Your School: Attend your assigned school within the specified reporting period to complete your admission and registration. Don’t delay, as schools have deadlines.
- Confirm Fees and Requirements: Contact the school or check their official communication for details on approved fees, uniforms, prospectus, and re-opening dates.
