CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu Admission Form 2026/2027: BNSc Nursing Full Requirements, Fees and How to Apply

The CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu admission form for the 2026/2027 academic session is officially out and applications are currently open at consa.edu.ng. The College of Nursing Sciences, Adazi-Nnukwu, has released its 2026/2027 admission form for its Bachelor of Nursing Science programme, which runs in affiliation with Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu has set a minimum JAMB score of 180 for the BNSc degree programme, and the Post UTME registration fee is N2,000, one of the lowest in the entire nursing admission landscape in Nigeria for this cycle.

This is the first degree-level nursing programme featured in this series. Unlike the ND/HND nursing programmes we have covered at LASCON, OAUTHC, EDOCNS, UBTH, and all the other colleges in this guide, the CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu BNSc programme leads to a full bachelor’s degree in nursing sciences, not a diploma. If you scored 180 or above in the 2026 JAMB and your target is a degree-level nursing qualification, this is the guide you need.

About CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu

The College of Nursing Sciences, Adazi-Nnukwu, known widely as CONSA, is a private nursing institution owned by the Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha and located within the premises of St. Joseph’s Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu, in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.

St. Joseph’s Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu, was founded in 1938 by the Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha. At the time of its founding, it was the only medical institution in the old Awka province and beyond, serving communities across a wide stretch of present-day Anambra State. That 80-plus-year institutional history in healthcare gives CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu a clinical foundation that many newer nursing colleges simply cannot match.

CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) for its nursing programmes. The BNSc degree programme is affiliated with Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, which provides the degree-level academic framework and confers the Bachelor of Nursing Science degree upon successful graduation. This UNIZIK affiliation is a significant detail because it means CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu graduates receive a university degree, not a diploma, giving their qualification a different weight in the Nigerian and international employment market.

The BNSc vs ND/HND: Why This Programme Is Different

This is the most important distinction to understand before applying to CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu. Here is a direct comparison between the BNSc at CONSA and the ND/HND nursing model at most other colleges in this series.

Both pathways produce NMCN-registered Registered Nurses. The key difference is the nature of the academic qualification. A BNSc degree from CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu, conferred through UNIZIK, carries the weight of a university degree. Candidates who have degree ambitions alongside professional nursing goals should take the CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu route seriously.

All Available Programmes at CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu for 2026/2027

CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu offers the following programmes for the 2026/2027 academic session:

Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) Programme The degree-level general nursing programme affiliated with UNIZIK. This is the main programme currently open for 2026/2027 applications. Minimum JAMB score: 180. Application is through the CONSA online portal at consa.edu.ng.

Basic Nursing Programme Three-year nursing training leading to Registered Nurse (RN) certification, approved by the NMCN. This programme does not carry the UNIZIK affiliation but is NMCN-approved and leads to professional registration.

Post Basic Nursing Programme An 18-month programme for existing Registered Midwives wishing to obtain a double qualification as Registered Nurses. Applicants must already hold RM certification from the NMCN.

Basic Midwifery Programme Three-year training programme leading to Registered Midwife (RM) certification. Available at CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu for candidates with the appropriate nursing background.

The BNSc degree programme is the 2026/2027 flagship admission. If you are coming directly from secondary school with JAMB and O’Level results, the BNSc programme is your primary target at CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu.

Eligibility Requirements for the BNSc Programme at CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu

All of the following conditions must be met before you register on the CONSA portal.

JAMB Score and Institution Choice You must have scored a minimum of 180 in the 2026 UTME. You must also have chosen College of Nursing Sciences Adazi-Nnukwu, affiliated to Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, as your first choice institution on JAMB. This is a critical detail that deserves special attention.

When selecting your institution on the JAMB portal for the Change of Institution process, you must choose CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu under the first-degree awarding institution category, not under the ND-awarding institution category. Many candidates make the mistake of selecting it under the wrong category, which affects their admission processing. The correct selection is under degree-awarding institutions because of the UNIZIK affiliation.

• English Language
• Mathematics
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics

Credits must be obtained in not more than two sittings. Acceptable combinations are WAEC and WAEC, NECO and NECO, or WAEC and NECO. NABTEB results cannot be combined with any other examining body. If you are presenting NABTEB, all five required credits must appear on that single NABTEB result.

Awaiting Results Policy Candidates who registered for the 2026 JAMB with awaiting O’Level results are eligible to apply to CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu, but they must upload their O’Level result to the JAMB portal before the Post UTME screening exercise.

CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu conducts a two-stage screening process. Only candidates who pass the first screening examination are eligible to proceed to the second screening. Prepare for both stages before your examination date.

The Two-Stage Screening Process at CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu

This is a distinctive feature of the CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu admission process that sets it apart from most other nursing colleges in this series, which conduct only one screening stage.

The first stage is the written Post UTME examination. It covers the standard five science subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Candidates who attain an acceptable standard in the first stage proceed to the second stage.

The second stage is typically an oral interview or additional assessment conducted by the college admissions panel. Details of the second stage are communicated to successful first-stage candidates after results are processed.

Preparing specifically for the nursing-related content in both the written and oral stages gives candidates a significant advantage. The college is competitive with a history going back to the 1938 founding of St. Joseph’s Hospital, and the screening reflects that standard.

Why the CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu BNSc Is One of the Best Nursing Admissions in the South East

Several features make this 2026/2027 admission exercise stand out among all active nursing admissions in the South East.

The N2,000 Post UTME fee is one of the lowest in the country for any nursing institution, state or private. LASCON Igando charges N25,000. OAUTHC charges N15,000. CON Obudu charges N38,000 total. CONSA Adazi-Nnukwu charges N2,000. For a private, Catholic-owned institution affiliated with a federal university, that fee is remarkably accessible.

The UNIZIK affiliation gives the BNSc degree genuine university weight. Most private nursing colleges in the South East run the basic three-year nursing certificate or the NMCN-approved ND/HND model. This programme offers a full degree alongside NMCN registration, which opens different doors both in Nigeria and internationally.

The institution’s 80-year history in healthcare at St. Joseph’s Hospital provides clinical training exposure that purpose-built nursing schools founded in the last decade cannot replicate. Students train in a working hospital with real clinical systems, experienced staff, and a patient community that has depended on the institution for generations.
