Overview of OGCON and the 2026/2027 Admission Cycle
Ogun State College of Nursing Sciences is a state-owned school with three campuses: Abeokuta (Idi-Aba), Ijebu-Ode, and Ilaro.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) fully accredits it to offer both National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) nursing programs.
Graduates become Registered Nurses (RN) and Registered Midwives (RM), and can choose to specialize further.
For the 2026/2027 session, applications opened on May 25, 2026, and closed on July 20, 2026.
This gave students about two months to register, pay fees, and get ready for the entrance test.
The computer-based screening took place soon after at the Ogun State School of Nursing, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, inside the Federal Medical Centre, from about 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Who Was Eligible to Sit the Entrance Exam
Before looking at the results, it’s useful to remember the OGCON eligibility rules for this group.
These rules explain why some registered candidates might not find their names on the result list:
- JAMB requirement: Candidates needed to write the 2026 UTME with a minimum score of 180, and Ogun State College of Nursing Sciences had to be their first-choice institution.
- O’Level credits: Applicants were required to have five O’Level credits in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics obtained in no more than two sittings from WAEC or NECO.
- No awaiting-result status: Candidates with “awaiting result” status were not eligible for this admission cycle; full results had to already be available at the point of application.
- Age limit: Candidates had to be at least 16 years old by August 31, 2026.
- Application fee: The processing fee for the cycle was set at ₦23,200.
Candidates who met all the requirements and submitted their forms before the deadline got examination photocards and were allowed to take the entrance test.
Only those with a valid, color-printed photocard could enter the exam hall on the screening day.
What the Entrance Exam Covered
The OGCON entrance exam is fully computer-based, not a written essay test.
The CBT covered English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, the main science subjects needed for O’Level.
The school provided registered candidates with past questions for these subjects before the exam, which is common for Nigerian nursing college entrance tests.
How to Check Your OGCON Entrance Exam Result / Admission Status
After marking the entrance exam and combining it with JAMB scores and O’Level results, OGCON creates a shortlist and publishes it in two main places.
Here’s how to check your result:
Option 1: Through the OGCON admission portal
- Go to the official application portal at apply.ogcon.edu.ng.
- Log in using the same details you used to register for the 2026/2027 admission form.
- Locate the admission status or result-checking section on your dashboard.
- Enter your JAMB registration number and other requested details.
- Submit your details to see if you have been shortlisted. You can then download or print the notification for your records.
- You can also visit the college’s homepage at ogcon.edu.ng to download the admission list as a PDF, just in case.
Option 2: Through the JAMB CAPS portal
- Visit the JAMB admission status portal and log in with your JAMB profile username and password.
- Locate the “Check Admission Status” option, select the relevant exam year, and enter your JAMB registration number.
- Click to view your result. If your name appears as admitted, you’ll be able to proceed to the CAPS “Accept/Reject” stage.
- If your status shows “processing,” it simply means JAMB is still reviewing the admission batch submitted by the college. Check back after a few days rather than assuming you were unsuccessful.
OGCON has confirmed that the 2026/2027 admission list is out.
If you took the entrance exam, check both the college portal and JAMB CAPS, because updates may not appear on both at the same time.
What to Do After Seeing Your Result
If your name appears on the list:
- Log in to your JAMB CAPS account and accept the admission offer. If you skip this step, you might lose your spot in some admission cycles.
- Collect your original certificates, birth certificate, local government ID, and passport photos for the physical screening and verification that the college usually holds for new students.
- Look out for official messages from the college, usually by email or through the portal, about acceptance fees, medical screening, and registration dates.
If your name does not appear:
- Check that you met all requirements, such as JAMB score, first-choice status, O’Level credits, and age. Many missing results are due to one of these details.
- Contact the college’s official support lines for help, not third-party agents. OGCON has warned that it will only respond to candidates through its portal and official channels.
- Think about whether a supplementary or second admission list might come out. Many Nigerian nursing colleges release more than one batch, as new spots open when some candidates do not accept their offers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Has the OGCON entrance exam result for 2026/2027 been released?
Yes. Ogun State College of Nursing Sciences has confirmed that the admission list is out for candidates who registered, took the entrance exam, and met all the requirements for 2026/2027.
Check the portal for your own status, because a general release does not mean everyone has been admitted.
2. Where exactly can I check my result?
You can check your result on the college’s application portal (apply.ogcon.edu.ng) or on your JAMB CAPS profile.
Both use the same admission data, but updates may not appear at the same time, so it’s best to check both.
3. What score is needed to be shortlisted?
There is no set cut-off score except for the minimum JAMB score of 180.
Final selection also considers your O’Level grades and entrance exam results, so two people with the same JAMB score can get different outcomes based on their CBT performance.
4. My status shows “processing”; does that mean I failed?
Not necessarily.
A “processing” status usually means JAMB is still matching the college’s admission list with its CAPS system.
This is not the same as “not admitted,” so check again after a few days.
5. I don’t see my name on the list; can I still be admitted?
It’s possible. Colleges often release extra lists if some admitted candidates do not accept their offers by the deadline.
Keep checking both the OGCON portal and your JAMB CAPS profile for updates instead of assuming the process is over.
6. What documents will I need if I’m admitted?
You’ll usually need your original and photocopied WAEC/NECO certificates, JAMB result slip, birth certificate, local government ID letter, passport photos, and your acknowledgment or admission slip.
The college will confirm the exact requirements during physical screening.
7. Is there a fee to check my result?
You do not need to pay any extra fees to check your admission status on JAMB CAPS or the OGCON portal.
Be careful of anyone asking for extra “checking fees” because this is not official.
8. Can I switch campuses (Abeokuta, Ijebu-Ode, or Ilaro) after seeing my result?
You usually choose your campus during registration, and this is used in the admission process.
If you want to change campuses, contact the college’s admissions office directly, as changes are not usually made after results are out.
9. What subjects were tested in the entrance exam?
The computer-based entrance test covered English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, the same core science subjects required for O’Level admission eligibility.
10. Is a supplementary list expected for OGCON 2026/2027?
Nursing colleges often release more admission lists over several weeks as offers are accepted or declined.
If you are not admitted at first, keep checking instead of assuming the process is finished after the first list.
Final Thoughts
To check your Ogun State College of Nursing entrance exam result for 2026/2027, use either the college’s portal or JAMB CAPS.
Have your JAMB registration number, login details, and academic documents ready so you can respond quickly, whether you are accepting an offer or looking at your next steps if you are not admitted.
Admission windows for extra lists close quickly, so treat every update from the college as urgent.
