The 2026 First Selection for Form Five and middle-level colleges has been released. If you sat for your Form Four national examinations, this guide will walk you through exactly how to check your selection results and download your official joining instructions — step by step.

What Is the TAMISEMI Selection Portal?

The President’s Office — Regional Administration and Local Government (TAMISEMI) operates an official online portal known as SELFORM, located at selform.tamisemi.go.tz. This platform is the official government system used to manage and publish school and college selection results for students in Tanzania, including Form Five (A-Level) and middle-level college placements.

Every year, after the release of Form Four results, candidates are allocated to various secondary schools and colleges based on their subject combinations, academic performance, and institutional capacity. The 2026 First Selection is now available on the portal.

1.Follow these steps carefully to access your placement results and obtain your school’s or college’s official joining instructions:

2.Log in to the portal. Visit selform.tamisemi.go.tz/Account/Login and sign in using your account credentials.
