The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ Federal College of Forestry, Jos has only ONE official website (fcfjos.edu.ng) and ONE portal (portal.fcfjos.edu.ng). Beware look-alike domains and blog "admission list"/"application form" pages that ask you to pay through their own link or a personal account — genuine form fees go only to The Registrar or JAMB. No agent can guarantee admission; anyone demanding extra money to "secure a spot" is a scam. Do not confuse this college with Federal College of Forestry, Ibadan or the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka (Kaduna) — they are separate institutions.
