Federal College of Education Kano: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
Federal College of Education Kano (FCE Kano) is a college of education located in Kofar Kabuga, Kano, established in 1961. It offers the 77 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.
⚠ Federal College of Education, Kano was upgraded to Federal University of Education, Kano in August 2024, then renamed Yusuf Maitama Sule Federal University of Education, Kano in March 2025. Its former domain fcekano.edu.ng does not currently resolve — treat any site or "agent" still using the old name or domain to sell NCE forms, admission lists, or "checker" services as a scam. Genuine admission runs only through JAMB CAPS and the institution's own official portal, never a third party. Also beware confusion with the separate, unrelated state-run "Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano" (yumsuk.edu.ng) — a different school under different ownership.

FCE Kano 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.

On JAMB's official CAPS portal, search instead for Yusuf Maitama Sule Federal University of Education, Kano (or its interim name, Federal University of Education, Kano) to find the correct institution code, then complete your UTME or Direct Entry application through JAMB and, once confirmed, the institution's own admission portal.
