How to Verify NACTVET Selection Results — September 2026 Intake

If you applied to a TVET institution through NACTVET's Central Admission System (CAS) and have been selected for the September 2026 intake, the final step before you can register at your college is verification (Uhakiki). This guide walks you through exactly how to check and confirm your selection using NACTVET's official verification portal, step by step.

What Is NACTVET Uhakiki Verification?

Uhakiki (Swahili for "verification") is the official process NACTVET — the National Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training — uses to confirm that a selected applicant's admission details are correct before they register at their chosen college. After you're selected, NACTVET sends you a unique verification code by SMS and/or email. You use this code on the official Uhakiki portal to confirm your status, and you must also present this same code to your college when you arrive to register.

The verification portal is found here: os.nacte.go.tz/uhakiki.

Who Needs to Verify Their Results

• Applicants who applied through the Central Admission System (CAS) and have been formally selected to join a TVET institution for the September 2026 intake.
• Applicants who applied directly to a college, whose details the institution has since forwarded to NACTVET for verification.

If you have not yet received a selection message, you are not yet eligible to verify — selection and verification happen in scheduled rounds, so check NACTVET's official admission calendar or your institution for the current status of your application round.

Before You Start: What You'll Need

1. The phone number or email address you used when you applied — this is where your verification code was sent.
2. The verification code itself, exactly as received (check both your SMS inbox and email, including spam/junk folders).
3. A device with internet access and a working browser.

Step-by-Step: How to Verify Your Results

1. Open the official Uhakiki portal.
   Go to https://os.nacte.go.tz/uhakiki/ in your browser. Confirm the web address matches exactly before entering any information.
2. Locate the "Verification code" field.
   On the homepage, you'll see a form titled "Applicant verification" with a box asking for the code sent to your email or SMS.
3. Enter your verification code.
   Type the code exactly as it appears in your SMS or email — no extra spaces, and check upper/lower case and numbers carefully, since verification codes are case- and character-sensitive.
4. Complete the security check (CAPTCHA).
   Below the code field, you'll see a distorted image of letters/numbers. Type what you see into the security check box. If it's hard to read, click the image itself to load a new one.
5. Click "Verify code."
   Once both fields are filled in correctly, click the "Verify code" button to submit.
6. Read your verification result carefully.
   The system will display your verification status, including the institution and programme you were selected for. Take a screenshot or write this down for your records.

What Happens After Verification

Successful online verification confirms your selection is recorded correctly in NACTVET's system, but it is not the end of the process:

• Keep your verification code safe — you must present it in person at your selected institution when you arrive to register.
• Report to your college within the official registration window announced by NACTVET for the September 2026 intake.
• The institution will complete your registration using the code, after which NACTVET sends a second confirmation message confirming your registration is complete.
• After registering, return to the NACTVET website to confirm your final registration status was recorded correctly.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

I haven't received a verification code.
Check both SMS and email, including spam/promotions folders. If nothing arrives after the official verification window opens, contact your institution's admissions office or NACTVET directly, since the code is sent to the contact details submitted during your original application.

The system says my code is invalid.
Re-check for typos, extra spaces, or mixed-up characters (such as 0 vs O, or 1 vs I). If it still fails after a careful retry, contact NACTVET support rather than repeatedly resubmitting.

I can't read the security check image.
Click directly on the image to generate a new one, and try a few times — the CAPTCHA refreshes each time you click it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I verify my NACTVET selection results?
Only on the official portal at os.nacte.go.tz/uhakiki. Avoid third-party sites or agents claiming to verify results on your behalf.

Is verification the same as registration?
No. Verification confirms your selection details online; registration happens in person at your selected institution using the same code.

What if I lose my verification code?
Contact your selected institution's admissions office or NACTVET as soon as possible — do not attempt to register without it.

Can I verify results for someone else?
You should only use the code sent to your own registered phone number or email, since it is tied to your specific application.

Final Note

Always verify your results using NACTVET's official portal only, and never share your verification code with brokers or third parties claiming to "help" with registration. For the exact verification dates and registration deadlines for the September 2026 intake, check official announcements on the NACTVET website or directly with your selected institution, as these dates are released and updated by NACTVET for each admission round.
