The Exam Malpractice & Discipline section provides an objective breakdown of disciplinary proceedings, examination integrity standards, and student penalties across secondary and higher institutions in Nigeria. Anchored in the Examination Malpractices Act (Cap E15 LFN 2004), WAEC/NECO examination guidelines, and tertiary institution student handbooks, our articles clarify offenses such as unauthorized materials, impersonation, collusion, and result tampering. Crucially, we outline constitutional fair-hearing rights, official procedures for appearing before Senior Disciplinary Committees (SDC), and lawful steps for appealing withheld results or suspension decrees.
