The Eastern Cape Department of Education has opened applications for the re-marking of 2025 December NSC scripts. All requests must be submitted to district offices by 27 January 2026.
No applications will be accepted after this deadline, and no cash payments are allowed.
Why this matters to you
If you wrote matric in 2025 and feel your results may be incorrect, you can apply for a re-mark or script viewing. However, this is only possible before 27 January 2026, and only through your District Examination Office—not the provincial office.
