Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri (Alvanikoku) is a college of education located in Owerri, Imo, established in 1963. It offers the 7 programmes listed below. The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 100 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ Alvan Ikoku transitioned from "College of Education" to "Federal University of Education" in October 2023 — some outdated pages and copycat sites still use the old name or old links. Use only www.alvanikoku.edu.ng and erp.alvanikoku.edu.ng for screening and payment. Never pay any "agent," WhatsApp contact, or third-party website that claims to guarantee NCE/degree admission or to "process" your form for a fee — Post-UTME screening fees are paid only via the Remita invoice generated on the school's own portal.

Entry Requirements
You need five (5) O'level credit passes including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings, plus the correct subject combination for your chosen course. Sit JAMB UTME (minimum 100) and make Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education your first choice — departmental cut-offs are often higher, so confirm the current session's cut-off on the official admissions page. Direct Entry candidates apply with the relevant O'level/ND/NCE qualifications. Some aggregator sites quote a degree cut-off of 180, but this is not confirmed on the school's own site — treat it as unofficial until the school publishes its cut-off.
Alvanikoku JAMB Cut-off Mark (2026/2027)
The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 100. This is the lowest score to be considered; the college also runs its own entrance examination, and departments frequently set higher cut-offs, so always confirm the current mark for your course with the school.
