GES Opens 2026 Graduate Recruitment Application Status Checking Portal
As part of the ongoing 2026 Graduate Teacher Recruitment Exercise, GES has activated the Application Status Checking Portal for applicants who successfully submitted their applications during the recruitment period.
According to an official statement signed by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at GES, applicants should access the portal at the designated release time for their respective categories.
The application status was released according to the following schedule:
| Category | Status Release Time |
