⚠ NKST College of Health Technology, Mkar: beware posts and flyers directing you to call a named individual or a personal phone/WhatsApp number to "buy" the admission form — the real form is obtained and paid for only on the official nkstchtmkar.edu.ng portal, never through an agent. Note also that a separate site, nkstchtmkaronline.org.ng, lists different phone numbers and email from the official school site — do not treat it as authoritative; confirm which channel is current by phoning the college before paying anything. A related student-portal login page at dems01.com is also not part of the official .edu.ng site — do not enter payment details there without first verifying it with the college.
Programmes Offered at NKSTCOHT 6
- Community Health (ND/HND; includes CHEW / JCHEW cadres)
- Environmental Health Technology (Technician / ND / HND)
- Health Information Management (ND)
- Dental Surgery Technician (Dental Health)
- Pharmacy Technician (Certified Pharmacy Technician)
- Public Health Technology / Epidemiology & Disease Control Technology (as listed by the school)
Entry Requirements
For most ND programmes you need five (5) O'level credit passes (WAEC/NECO, max two sittings) usually including English Language, Mathematics, Biology/Health Science and Chemistry; the Dental Surgery Technician option specifically requires 4 credits including English, Maths, Biology/Health Science and Chemistry. You must also register with NIN and sit JAMB UTME — the college's own admission page states a minimum score of 100 (an older notice cited 120), so confirm the current session's cut-off directly with the college before relying on either figure. HND applicants need a relevant ND with at least a Lower Credit. Admission is also subject to the college's own entrance screening test and interview, so treat JAMB registration as the first step, not the only one.
NKSTCOHT 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
NKST College of Health Technology, Mkar runs its own admission screening alongside JAMB registration — it is not a straight UTME-placement school. To apply: (1) get and complete the admission form via the official portal at nkstchtmkar.edu.ng/admission; (2) enter your biodata, choice of programme and educational details; (3) upload your O'level results and other required documents; (4) sit the college's screening test and attend the interview. Confirm the current form price and the exact payment channel on the official portal itself, or by calling the school directly.
Stay safe: ignore flyers or social-media posts telling you to call a named "admission officer" or WhatsApp number to "secure" or "buy" a form — this is the classic fake-agent scam. Only fill and pay for the form on the official nkstchtmkar.edu.ng portal, and never pay an agent or send money to a personal account.
