Aminu Kano College Of Islamic And Legal Studies Kano: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
Aminu Kano College Of Islamic And Legal Studies Kano (Akcils) is a college of education located in Kofar Bompai, Kano, established in 1981. It offers the 8 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.
⚠ AKCILS is a genuine Kano State government college, but it runs more than one domain (akcils.edu.ng and akcilskano.ng), which makes it easy for scammers to spin up look-alike sites. Apply only on the college's own portal and pay the N5,500 application charge ON the portal itself — anyone asking for extra "processing", "sorting" or "guaranteed admission" money is running a scam. Verify with the phone/email above first.

Entry Requirements
You need five (5) O'level credit passes in SSCE/WAEC/NECO/NABTEB (or equivalent), obtained in not more than two sittings, in subjects relevant to your chosen course — including the specific teaching subjects (e.g. Computer Science requires science subjects such as Mathematics and Physics). Sit JAMB UTME (minimum 100) and make AKCILS your first choice. Holders of NCE, OND, City & Guilds or NBC/NTC certificates may qualify for advanced/diploma entry. Selected applicants may be invited for a screening/interview — confirm the exact subject combination for your department on the official portal before paying anything.
Akcils 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.
How to Apply
Apply only through the college's official online portal — create a profile at akcils.edu.ng or apply.akcilskano.ng, fill the application form, upload your O'level results, and pay the official N5,500 non-refundable application fee directly on the portal. For the standard NCE route, also register on JAMB (jamb.gov.ng) and select AKCILS. Watch your email/phone for screening or interview invitations from the college.
Stay safe: no genuine staff member or "admission agent" will collect fees via WhatsApp, a personal bank/OPay account, or a private form vendor — never pay an agent, pay only through the official portal.
