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.
⚠ COHESKAT's official site (coheskat.edu.ng) has shown an expired security certificate at times, which scammers can exploit with look-alike domains — always check the address bar carefully. A separate site, csucoheskat.net, is a consultancy and is NOT the official college portal — do not apply or pay through it. Beware of any blog, WhatsApp number, or "admission agent" claiming to sell COHESKAT forms or guarantee admission for a fee — the college does not use agents and no one can guarantee a slot. Apply and pay only through coheskat.edu.ng or portal.coheskat.edu.ng, and never send money to a personal account.

Entry Requirements
Requirements are set per programme. For most ND courses you need a minimum of four (4) O'level credits (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB, not more than two sittings) including English Language and Biology/Health Science, plus two of Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Geography or Agricultural Science. Science-heavy programmes like ND Public Health and ND X-Ray/Medical Imaging require five credits including English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Certificate courses (JCHEW, Environmental Health Assistant) accept lower O-level requirements. These are health-regulatory programmes, so admission is normally through the college's own application and screening rather than JAMB UTME — where UTME applies, JAMB's national minimum is 150, though departmental cut-offs are often higher. Confirm the exact subject combination for your programme on the official portal before paying anything.
COHESKAT 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.
How to Apply
Apply directly to the college — these health-technology programmes are generally not admitted through JAMB UTME. Watch the official website and the official admission portal for when the form opens, complete it only there or at the college bursary in Kankia, upload your O-level results, and sit the entrance screening if required.
Stay safe: the college's official site has shown a certificate warning, which scammers can exploit with look-alike sites — always double-check you are on coheskat.edu.ng or portal.coheskat.edu.ng before entering any details, and never pay an agent / pay only through the official portal.
