Nwafor Orizu College Of Education Nsugbe: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
Updated: 25 August 2026 · By the SchoolNews Education Desk
Nwafor Orizu College Of Education Nsugbe (NOCEN) is a college of education located in Nsugbe, Anambra, established in 1976. It offers the 11 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.
⚠ NOCEN's only official application portal is nocen.edu.ng – beware look-alike domains (e.g. nocen.com.ng, "nocoen-portal" and similar) and Facebook/WhatsApp "admission officers" who ask you to pay for a form or guarantee admission. The genuine application fee is paid only via the Remita invoice generated inside the official portal; the school does not collect admission fees through personal bank accounts or agents. No official cut-off is published for NOCEN – the JAMB national minimum (100) is shown as a baseline only; departmental cut-offs are often higher, so confirm with the school.

Sit JAMB UTME (minimum 100) and select or change to NOCEN as your first choice on CAPS for full-time NCE admission. Degree programmes (run in affiliation with the University of Nigeria, Nsukka) require a higher UTME score and the correct subject combination. Exact subject combinations vary by course – confirm on the JAMB brochure and the official NOCEN portal before paying anything.
NOCEN JAMB Cut-off Mark (2026/2027)
The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 100. 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 online through the official portal at nocen.edu.ng/portal: choose your programme – NCE application or Degree application – click Apply, then Registration, fill the form, generate a Remita invoice and pay the application fee at a bank or online. UTME candidates must also register/select NOCEN via JAMB and use CAPS to accept the offer.
Stay safe: NOCEN's only official portal is nocen.edu.ng. Do not deal with any third party or "agent" who contacts you privately promising admission – use only the official portal or visit the college in person, and never pay an agent / pay only through the official portal.
