The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has stopped fresh admissions into degree programmes run by Colleges of Education in affiliation with universities, beginning with the 2026/2027 academic session
The decision, contained in the Board’s newly issued NCE/ND Agric Registration Guidelines released by the Office of the Registrar in June 2026, means prospective students can no longer apply for degree programmes through Colleges of Education.
JAMB stated unequivocally that, “no admission into any affiliated programme in any College of Education from 2026/7 Session.”
The Board also prohibited admissions into 100 and 200 levels in the institutions, directing that all candidates seeking entry into Colleges of Education must now be admitted through the Nigeria Certificate in Education programme.
“With effect from 2026/7 Session, no admission into 100 or 200 Level is allowed into any College of Education. All entrants are through NCE,” the guidelines read.
