Courses Offered at Aminu Kano College of Education Kano
Aminu Kano College of Education Kano (AKCOE) is a college of education located in Kano, Kano State, established in 1981. It offers the 16 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.
⚠ Do not confuse this school with the separate Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies (AKCILS) — a different institution. The genuine site is akcoe.edu.ng; a look-alike domain akcoe.com.ng also exists, so confirm the official domain before entering any details. No agent can "guarantee" your admission, and any "application form" demanding cash to a personal account is a scam — apply via JAMB and the official college portal only, and pay fees solely through official channels.

AKCOE 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.
