Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences Post UTME 2026/2027: All Three Campuses, Requirements and How to Apply

The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences Post UTME forms for the 2026/2027 academic session have been officially released for all three campuses: Hadejia, Birnin Kudu, and Babura. The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences opened Post UTME registration for its ND/HND Nursing Programmes on Monday, May 25, 2026. The Hadejia Campus closing date was Monday, June 29, 2026. Candidates who applied to the Hadejia Campus before June 29 should now prepare for the CBT screening. Candidates who missed the Hadejia deadline should check the Birnin Kudu and Babura campus portals immediately for their own closing dates.

The college requires a minimum JAMB score of 150, a mandatory JAMB subject combination of English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and five O’Level credit passes. The application fee is N2,000 per campus, making the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences one of the most affordable accredited nursing admissions in the North West for 2026/2027. This guide covers all three campuses, all requirements, all portal addresses, and the specific rules that can disqualify your application before you even sit the CBT.

About the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences

The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences is a state government-owned nursing training institution operating across three campuses in Jigawa State: the Hadejia Campus, the Birnin Kudu Campus, and the Babura Campus. Each campus serves as a distinct nursing training centre with its own Provost, administration, and clinical training hospital affiliations, while all three operate under the unified academic and accreditation framework of the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences.

The institution is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) for its nursing programmes. Graduates who complete the ND/HND Nursing programme and pass the NMCN Final Qualifying Examination are registered as Registered Nurses (RN) with full professional recognition across Nigeria.

Jigawa State is one of Nigeria’s most populous northern states, sharing borders with Kano, Bauchi, Yobe, and the Republic of Niger. The three-campus structure of the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences reflects the geographic spread of the state and the need for nursing training access across its northern, central, and southern population centres.

The three campuses use separate application portals and have separate contact numbers. Each campus admission is independent. Candidates apply only for the campus they chose as their first choice on JAMB. They cannot apply to multiple campuses simultaneously.

The Three Campuses of Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences

Eligibility Requirements for All Three Campuses

The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences applies the same eligibility rules across all three campuses for the 2026/2027 exercise.

JAMB Score You must have scored a minimum of 150 in the 2026 JAMB UTME. This is one of the most accessible cut-offs among accredited nursing colleges in the North West zone.

JAMB Subject Combination This is the most critical eligibility check at the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences. Your JAMB subject combination must be English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The institution has issued an explicit warning across all three campus admission notices: candidates without the correct JAMB subject mix will not have a valid application. One wrong subject in your UTME combination means your application is automatically invalid, regardless of your score, your O’Level results, or when you submit.

Confirm your 2026 JAMB subject combination on your JAMB profile before paying the N2,000 form fee. If your subjects were English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, you are eligible. If any of these four is different on your JAMB record, this form is not for you.

JAMB First Choice You must have selected the specific Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences campus (Hadejia, Birnin Kudu, or Babura) as your first choice institution on JAMB. Second choice candidates are not accepted. Change of Institution is accepted by JAMB before the closing date of registration, but must be completed before applying on the campus portal.

O’Level Requirements You must possess at least five credit passes in the following subjects:

• English Language
• Mathematics
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics

Credits must be obtained in not more than two sittings from WAEC or NECO. NABTEB results are accepted at the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences, but only in one sitting. Combining NABTEB with WAEC or NECO is not accepted. All five required credits must appear on that single NABTEB result.

Age Requirement Candidates must be a minimum of 16 years of age. The campusinfo.com.ng verified announcement for the 2026/2027 exercise states 16 as the minimum age. Some campus-specific notices may state 18 years. Confirm the exact age requirement for your specific campus on the relevant portal before applying.

Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences vs Other Active North West Nursing Schools

Here is how the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences compares to other active North West nursing admissions in this series.

The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences has the joint lowest application fee in the North West at N2,000 alongside ABUTH. At N2,000, the form fee is accessible to virtually every candidate, removing cost as a barrier to application. The three-campus structure also means that candidates in different parts of Jigawa State have access to a local nursing training option without long-distance travel.

How to Apply: Step-by-Step Guide for Each Campus

The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences application process is online for all three campuses. Each campus uses its own portal. Here is the general application sequence that applies across all three.

1. Confirm your JAMB subject combination is English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. If it is not, stop here.
2. Confirm that the specific Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences campus you want to apply to is your JAMB first choice. If it is not, go to a JAMB-accredited centre for a Change of Institution before the closing date.
3. Visit the portal for your campus:
   • Hadejia Campus: conhadejia.edu.ng
   • Birnin Kudu Campus: jisconm.edu.ng
   • Babura Campus: consbabura.edu.ng
4. On the portal, click “Click here to Register”
5. Fill in your personal details and JAMB registration information
6. Pay the non-refundable Post UTME form fee of N2,000 (plus applicable bank charges) through the online payment gateway
7. Complete and submit the application form after successful payment
8. Print your application slip immediately after submission
9. Read the instructions on the printed slip carefully. The slip carries details for the next stage of the exercise, including your CBT date and venue

The JAMB Subject Combination Warning

This deserves its own section because it is the most common reason applications at the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences are rejected, and it catches many candidates off guard.

The four required JAMB subjects are English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Every word in that combination matters. If your JAMB shows Agricultural Science instead of Biology, your application is invalid. If it shows Further Mathematics instead of Physics, your application is invalid. If it shows Government instead of Chemistry, your application is invalid.

The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences has explicitly stated across all three campus admission notices that any candidate without the correct subject mix will not be accepted. This is not a guideline that can be appealed after submission. It is a hard eligibility requirement that is enforced before the CBT stage.

Before you pay the N2,000 form fee, open your JAMB profile and read the subjects listed for your 2026 UTME registration. If any of the four required subjects is missing or replaced by something else, do not apply. You will lose the N2,000 and be disqualified during verification.

No Agents Policy

All three campuses of the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences have issued the same clear statement: the college has not appointed any admission agents. If anyone claims to be processing applications for any Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences campus for a fee, they are acting without institutional authorisation. Candidates who pay a third party for help do so at their own personal risk and the college takes no responsibility for payments made outside the official portals.

Use only the official portals listed above and the official contact number (08060235748 for Babura Campus, campus-specific contacts for Hadejia and Birnin Kudu) for all enquiries.
