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.

Entry Requirements
You need five (5) O'level credit passes (SSCE/NECO/GCE or approved equivalent) including English Language and Mathematics, in subjects relevant to your chosen course. Teachers' Grade II (TC II) holders with the required credits/merits may also be considered. 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.
