TAMISEMI Form Five Selection 2026/2027

TAMISEMI Form Five Selection 2026/2027

Moving from O-Level to A-Level is one of the most important moments in a Tanzanian student’s life. After the recent release of the CSEE 2025 results, the next big question for students and parents is: “Where have I been selected to continue my studies?” The Form Five Selection, managed by the President’s Office, Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG – TAMISEMI), is the official process that determines where students will attend various government high schools, technical colleges, and teacher training institutions.

In this guide, we will explain everything you need to know about the 2026 selection process, how to check your name, and what to do once the results are available.

When Will Form Five Selection 2026 Be Released?

Historically, TAMISEMI releases the first selection results between May and June. This gives the government enough time to analyse NECTA’s performance data and match students with available slots in special schools, regional schools, and vocational colleges.

While waiting for the official announcement, it is crucial to stay updated through official channels to avoid misinformation from unverified sources.

How to Check Form Five Selection 2026/2027 (Step-by-Step)

Once the government officially announces the results, you can access the selection list through the following methods:

Key Factors Influencing Your Placement

You might wonder why a student is chosen for a particular school or combination, while another is not. TAMISEMI uses a digitised system that considers:

1. Academic Performance (GPA): Students with higher grades (Division One and Two) are prioritised for “Special Schools” (Shule za Vipaji Maalum) like Kibaha, Tabora Boys/Girls, and Mzumbe.

2. Subject Combinations: Your grades in specific subjects must meet the “Cut-off points” for your chosen combination (e.g., PCB, PCM, HGL, CBG, etc.).

3. School Choices: The schools you listed in your Selform during Form Four are given priority, provided your marks meet their requirements.

4. Available Slots: The capacity of a school to admit new students also determines the final list.

What to Do After Being Selected?

Congratulations! If your name appears on the list, there are immediate steps you must take to secure your spot:

• Download the Joining Instructions: a document provided by your new school outlining requirements, school fees (if any), uniforms, and reporting dates.

• Prepare for Medical Examination: Every student must undergo a medical check-up at a government hospital using the form provided in the joining instructions.

• Verify Your Documents: Ensure you have your original NECTA result slip, birth certificate, and primary school leaving certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I change my school or combination after selection?

A: Yes, but this is a formal process. You must report to your assigned school first, then apply for a transfer through the Regional Education Officer (REO) for valid reasons, such as health or family relocation.

Q: What if my name is not on the list?

A: If you qualify but are not in the first selection, do not panic. TAMISEMI usually releases a Second Selection (Awamu ya Pili) to fill the slots left by students who did not report.

Q: How do I know if I am selected for a Diploma or Certificate course?

A: Some students are selected to join mid-level colleges (NACTVET) for various professional courses. This list is usually released alongside the Form Five selections.
