The Osan-Ekiti College of Education is pleased to announce the eligibility criteria for prospective students seeking admission for the 2024 academic session. This detailed guide aims to help interested candidates understand the necessary requirements for entry into our prestigious institution.

UTME Requirements: To be eligible for admission into Osan-Ekiti College of Education, all applicants must have participated in the recently conducted Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and must have obtained a minimum score of 100. This UTME cut-off mark ensures that prospective students have a basic understanding and competence required for further academic studies. Only candidates who meet or exceed this minimum requirement will be considered for the admission process.

O’Level Requirements: In addition to meeting the UTME cut-off mark, candidates must also satisfy the O’Level requirements. Specifically, applicants must possess a minimum of five (5) credit passes at the O’Level (which can be obtained from WAEC, SSCE, GCE, or any equivalent recognized by the government and examination bodies). Importantly, these credit passes must include English Language and Mathematics, which are mandatory subjects for admission into the college.

Furthermore, these O’Level credit passes must be obtained in not more than two sittings. This means that applicants can use results from two different examination sittings, as long as they have the required combination of subjects and grades within these attempts. Ensuring that students have a strong foundation in these subjects will enable them to cope well with the academic challenges that they will encounter during their studies.

Change of Institution and Course: It is important for all prospective candidates to note that Osan-Ekiti College of Education may not initially have been selected as their preferred institution during the UTME registration. However, interested applicants who now wish to study at Osan-Ekiti College of Education are advised to visit the official JAMB portal to make the necessary changes. This change of institution and course must be completed as soon as possible to ensure eligibility for admission into the college.

The process of changing institution and course through the JAMB portal is straightforward, but it is advised that candidates should proceed with caution and verify that they select Osan-Ekiti College of Education as their new institution of choice, and choose an appropriate course offered by the college that aligns with their career goals and academic interests.

Apprenticeship Vocational Training Skills: In addition to the standard National Certificate in Education (NCE) training, Osan-Ekiti College of Education has integrated Apprenticeship Vocational Training Skills into the academic curriculum for all students. This initiative is aimed at enhancing the employability of our graduates and equipping them with essential vocational and technical skills that will enable them to thrive in the world of work. By undergoing this training, students will be prepared to meet the demands of a dynamic and ever-changing economy, providing them with practical experience that goes beyond the traditional classroom learning.

These vocational skills training programs are strategically designed to help students acquire hands-on skills that are highly relevant to the labor market. Students will have opportunities to explore a range of skill sets, including but not limited to, technical craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, creative arts, and other industry-relevant trades. By focusing on apprenticeship programs, the college aims to foster an environment where students are trained not just to become employees but also to be employers of labor who can create jobs and contribute to the socio-economic development of the country.
