Niger State College Of Nursing Sciences Bida: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
Niger State College Of Nursing Sciences Bida (CNS-BIDA) is a monotechnic located in Bida, Niger State., established in 1976. It offers the 3 programmes listed below. 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.
⚠ Several look-alike “portals” advertise this college, and two of its former web addresses are now dead. The only working official portal we verified is portal.nscons.com.ng — confirm dates there and pay nothing anywhere else.
Accreditation Status
On the NMCN approved-schools list (December 2025 edition)
| Campus | NMCN status | Granted |
|---|---|---|
| Bida | Full accreditation | August 2021 |
| Minna | Full accreditation | December 2023 |
| Kontagora | Full accreditation | December 2023 |
Across its campuses the college runs Nursing, Midwifery, Community Nursing and Community Midwifery programmes.
Know this before you apply: in March 2024 the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria suspended new admissions at all three campuses for admitting far beyond the approved quota. The college appears on the Council’s latest approved list, but confirm the current admission status with NMCN or the college before paying any fee.

CNS-BIDA 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.
Admission Timeline & How the Portal Works
The college has not published fixed application dates for the current cycle. When the form is on sale, the official portal (portal.nscons.com.ng) takes applications in four stages:
- Pay the application fee on the portal and receive your application number.
- Fill in your bio-data.
- Enter your O’Level results (plus A’Level for Direct Entry).
- Print your acknowledgment slip and keep it for the entrance exam and interview.
“Form is out!” posts with phone numbers on Facebook and blogs are usually agents — a date is only real when it is on the portal itself.

The Bida School of Nursing is a campus of Niger State College of Nursing Sciences. Applications are made online, but several look-alike websites claim to be its portal.
