Courses Offered at Federal College of Education Zaria
Federal College of Education Zaria (FCEZARIA) is a college of education located in Tudun Wada, Kaduna, established in 1962. 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.
⚠ Federal University of Education, Zaria (formerly Federal College of Education, Zaria) is a genuine federal institution, but it was upgraded in September 2024 and no longer admits new NCE students — degree applications now go through JAMB. Only use the school's own domain (fuez.edu.ng) for applications and payments; beware look-alike sites such as "fcezaria.net" and third-party portals, and anyone on WhatsApp/Facebook charging an "admission processing" fee. The school does not sell admission — all official fees are paid via Remita/RRR on the official portal only.
