IEB Matric Results Release Date
The IEB have not yet confirmed their release date for this year's Matric results, but the practice in recent years is for their results to be announced one day before the CAPS Matric results.
How To Check Your IEB Matric Results
Firstly, the IEB will forward the final Matric results to schools and they will then pass on the results to their candidates.
You can then view it in the following ways:
- Pupils will be able to find their results online using the IEB website when they are released.
- Results can also be accessed via SMS, using the following options:
- If the IEB has been provided with your cellphone number, your results will automatically be sent to the number provided.
- You can register by SMS by sending an SMS to 35135.
- The SMS should read: Results (your examination number) (your DOB yyyymmdd)
- You will then receive a message notifying you that the registration has been
successful and you will receive your results when they are released.
As for your certificate/statement of results that is released by UMALUSI, they will be sent to your school in April after the Matric results release.
