If you applied to any of the three campuses of the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences for the 2026/2027 academic session, you’re probably waiting to see if your name appears on the admission list.
This guide explains how the admission lists work for each campus, how to check your status, and what to do whether you’re admitted or not.

Understanding the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences Structure
The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences is one institution with three campuses.
Each campus has its own history, website, and its own separate admission list:
- Birnin Kudu Campus is the original School of Nursing, which started in May 1996 and became a full College of Nursing and Midwifery in May 2012.
- Hadejia Campus opened in October 2017 to help train more nurses in the state.
- Babura Campus started in March 2022 and now runs its School of Midwifery as part of the College.
Since each campus has its own admission portal and list, some candidates check the wrong website by mistake.
For example, if you chose Birnin Kudu as your first choice, you won’t find your result on Babura’s list.
Always make sure you’re on the right campus portal before thinking you weren’t admitted.
What Programme Is This Admission List For?
Most candidates are looking for the admission list for the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) Nursing Programmes, which use the JAMB Post-UTME process.
Some campuses also have separate lists for Basic Nursing, Midwifery, and Post-Basic programmes.
Make sure you check the list for the exact programme you applied for.
These are usually posted as separate sections on each campus’s website, like “Admission List (Nursing)” and “Admission List (Midwifery).”
Eligibility Criteria That Determined the 2026 List
To see why some candidates were admitted and others were not, it’s helpful to look at the entry requirements used for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening:
- UTME score: A minimum of 150 in the 2026 UTME.
- JAMB subject combination: Strictly English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Candidates who sat UTME with a different subject combination were not eligible, regardless of their score.
- First-choice requirement: Candidates must have selected their specific campus (Birnin Kudu, Hadejia, or Babura) as their first choice in JAMB.
- Age requirement: The minimum age varies by campus. Some require at least 16 years old, while others require 18. Check your campus’s announcement to confirm the exact age requirement, as it varies by campus.
- O’Level requirement: A minimum of five credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, obtained in not more than two sittings, from WAEC or NECO.
Candidates who met all these requirements and did well in the screening were added to the admission list for their campus.
How to Check the Jigawa College of Nursing Sciences Admission List
- First, find out which campus you applied to: Birnin Kudu, Hadejia, or Babura.
- Go to that campus’s official website. Each campus has its own site. For example, Babura’s portal is consbabura.edu.ng, and the other campuses have their own websites too.
- Look for the “Admission” or “Admission List” section, usually in the website’s menu.
- Choose the list that matches the programme you applied for, such as Nursing (ND/HND), Midwifery, or Basic Nursing.
- Look for your name or registration number in the published list.
- If you find your name, follow the registration instructions right away to start the next steps.
What to Do If You’re Admitted
Once you see your name on the list, take action quickly:
- Follow the online registration/data capture instructions specific to your campus.
- Get your required documents ready. These usually include your JAMB result slip, O’Level results, birth certificate or age declaration, local government ID, and passport photos.
- Pay any acceptance or registration fees only through the official campus portal. Do not pay anyone else or use third-party contacts.
- Print your admission letter and registration slip when they are available, and keep both digital and paper copies.
- Check the campus website for the date when lectures or resumption will begin.
Important Warning: Beware of Fake Admission Agents
The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences has made it clear, especially through Babura campus, that it has not appointed any admission agents.
If someone contacts you and says they can guarantee or speed up your admission for a fee by phone, WhatsApp, or social media, this is a warning sign.
Only the official screening process and published campus lists decide who is admitted.
No one can buy or fast-track a spot for you. Always use only the official portal and contact details listed there.
What If Your Name Isn’t on the List?
If you don’t see your name, think about these reasons before worrying:
- Wrong campus checked. Confirm you’re viewing the list for the exact campus you selected as first choice.
- Wrong programme list checked. Nursing, Midwifery, and Basic Nursing typically run separate lists; make sure you’re viewing the correct one.
- Subject combination mismatch. Candidates without the exact English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics combination were not eligible, regardless of score.
- Below the cut-off mark or O’Level requirement. Review your UTME score and O’Level credits against the stated minimums.
- The list may not be fully published yet. Sometimes, admission lists come out in batches, so the first batch might not include every eligible candidate right away.
If none of these reasons fit your situation, contact your campus’s admissions office directly.
Use the phone number or email from the official website, not numbers from classified ads or social media.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How many campuses does the Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences have, and does each publish its own admission list?

A minimum of 150 in the 2026 UTME, with the JAMB subject combination of English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics specifically.
3. Can I check my admission status using just my JAMB registration number?
Most campus portals let you search the published list using your registration or application number; check your campus portal for the exact lookup method.

Anyone offering to guarantee your admission for payment outside the official portal should be treated as a scam.

No. Admission lists are published online on each campus’s official website, so you can check your status remotely before making any physical visit.
9. What documents will I need once I’m confirmed on the list?
Typically, you’ll need your JAMB result slip, O’Level results, birth certificate or age declaration, local government identification, and passport photographs.
However, you should confirm exact requirements in your campus’s registration guidelines.
10. Where can I get accurate, updated information about the 2026 admission list release?
Only trust information published directly on the official campus websites (such as consbabura.edu.ng for Babura, or the equivalent domains for Birnin Kudu and Hadejia), rather than unofficial phone numbers or social media posts circulating admission claims.
Final Thoughts
Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences posts the 2026 admission list separately for each campus.
