You check your TRCN Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE) centre, testing date, and seat number by logging into your candidate profile on the official Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria examination portal and reprinting your updated PQE Examination Photo Card slip.
The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria administers nationwide computer-based test (CBT) examinations across designated state testing centres, assigning candidates specific examination batches, laboratory terminals, and seat numbers to ensure an orderly testing environment.
To inspect your examination allocation parameters and print your screening photo card slip, follow these sequential steps:
- Access the official Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria portal home page using an updated internet browser.
- Locate and click on the PQE Portal or Examination Slip Reprinting module on the primary navigation menu.
- Enter your registered candidate email address and password, or supply your unique TRCN Examination Registration Number.
- Input the Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code used to settle your statutory examination registration fee.
- Click on the Fetch Examination Schedule or Reprint Slip button to query the national examination scheduling database.
- Review your displayed candidate summary profile, verifying your full legal names, passport photograph, and category level (Category A, B, C, or D).
- Inspect the Examination Details panel to locate your assigned CBT Centre Name, physical street address, examination batch, time slot, and assigned terminal seat number.
- Download the computer-generated examination slip in high-resolution PDF format and print multiple colour copies on clean white A4 paper.
Educators must assemble mandatory accreditation credentials before travelling to their assigned CBT testing centre:
- Two physical colour copies of your freshly reprinted TRCN PQE Examination Photo Card slip showing clear biometric barcodes.
- Original bank payment receipt confirming full settlement of statutory council examination registration fees.
- Valid national identification document such as a National Identification Number slip issued by NIMC or driver’s license.
- Original degree certificate or statement of result from an accredited university or college of education.
Reporting to an unallocated testing centre or attempting to sit during an unassigned examination batch results in automated biometric lockout and forfeiture of fees.
Visiting your assigned CBT centre twenty-four hours before examination morning ensures you verify transit routes and avoid test-day delays.
Passing the PQE allows educators to apply for their permanent TRCN Certificate of Registration and professional teaching license.
Retaining your stamped examination slip provides vital documentation when collecting your permanent professional certificate from the state office.
Diligent preparation for the PQE guarantees that your pedagogical qualifications position you for distinguished and rewarding educational leadership careers across Nigeria.

Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Great inquiry. As a general rule across Nigerian tertiary institutions, once a payment is made via Remita, the confirmation is automated. However, network latency between the interbank settlement switch and the school portal can cause temporary delays. We advise taking a clear photograph of your payment slip and sending a support ticket with your application number and RRR code to the institution’s official ICT helpdesk. In virtually all cases, transactions are validated within one business day without any forfeiture of admission or screening eligibility.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Thank you for contacting EduTalks. Regarding subject combination discrepancies: if your chosen UTME subject combination does not align strictly with the National Universities Commission (NUC) and JAMB brochure requirements for that faculty, you must immediately apply for a Change of Course on the JAMB portal to an aligned discipline. Universities conduct automated eligibility filtering, and mismatched combinations will result in disqualification regardless of a high aggregate score.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
