Registration is now open for schools and individual students across all zones. Spots are limited — secure your place before the September 30 deadline.
The PBC iSAT is open to secondary school students in Nigeria at two category levels. Both junior and senior students compete for separate prize pools.
Schools register on behalf of students. One administrator manages all registrations. Recommended for 5 or more students.
Students whose schools are not participating may register individually. Parents or guardians may register for students under 16.
School registration is managed through the PBC iSAT School Portal. The school's coordinator creates one account and manages all students under that school profile.
Students registering independently follow a simplified process through the PBC contact team. A parent or guardian must countersign for students under 16.
Registration fees are structured to keep participation accessible. Bulk discounts apply for schools registering 20 or more students.
| Registration Type | Students | Fee / Student | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual Student | 1 | ₦5,000 | ₦5,000 |

Once registration and payment are confirmed, here's what happens next:
Zonal spots are limited. Register before September 30, 2026.
The PBC iSAT registration process is designed to be as straightforward as possible for both schools and individual students. Schools register as institutions through the official portal, providing contact details for a designated school coordinator who will serve as the primary point of contact for all competition-related communications. Individual students may also register directly in states or zones where individual registration is available.
Before beginning your registration, ensure you have the following information ready: the full legal name of your school or student as it should appear on official certificates; a valid school email address and phone number; the names and class levels of all students being registered; and your preferred examination zone, which determines the venue where students will sit the assessment.
Registration fees, where applicable, are confirmed during the registration process and must be paid through the official payment channels listed on the portal. PBC Cambridge Consult does not accept cash payments or payments through unofficial channels — all transactions are processed digitally to ensure security and transparency for all participating institutions and students.
After completing registration, schools and students receive a confirmation email with their registration details, assigned examination zone, and instructions for assessment day. It is critical to review this confirmation carefully and contact the iSAT team immediately if any details are incorrect, as certificate names are generated directly from registration data.
Schools that have participated in previous iSAT editions and already have portal accounts can log in with existing credentials and update their student list for the new competition year. First-time registrants should create a new account and follow the step-by-step instructions provided on the registration portal.
