Updated: 25 August 2026 · By the SchoolNews Education Desk
Edo State College of Nursing Sciences (EDOCNS) is a monotechnic located in Benin City, Edo State, established in 1954.
⚠ No verified official website exists on file for this institution — that is itself a red flag. Be extremely wary of any site, Facebook/WhatsApp page, or "agent" claiming to sell an Edo State College of Nursing Sciences application form for a fee, especially look-alike domains not ending in a verifiable .edu.ng or a confirmed Edo State government subdomain. Before paying anything, confirm the school's existence and current admission process via the NMCN approved-schools registry (nmcn.gov.ng) and the Edo State Ministry of Health — never via a link shared on social media.

Entry Requirements
Exact O'level and entry requirements for Edo State College of Nursing Sciences are not officially verifiable at this time. Nigerian nursing colleges generally require five (5) O'level credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, and Biology/Chemistry/Physics, plus JAMB UTME (minimum 150) for degree-awarding tracks, or the school's own entrance exam for basic nursing/midwifery diploma programmes — but this is unconfirmed for this specific school. Confirm directly with the Edo State Ministry of Health or Edo State Health Training Institutions Management Board, and check the school's status on the NMCN approved-schools list before applying.
EDOCNS JAMB Cut-off Mark (2026/2027)
The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150. 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.
