About NASCOHST Keffi
The Nasarawa State College of Health Science and Technology (NASCOHST), located in Keffi, Nasarawa State, is one of Nigeria’s accredited health technology institutions offering National Diploma (ND) and professional diploma programmes across a wide range of healthcare disciplines. The college trains mid-level healthcare professionals for deployment across hospitals, clinics, and public health agencies in Nigeria. Its programmes are accessed through JAMB for ND courses and directly through the college’s admissions portal for select professional certificate programmes.
Official NASCOHST Cut-Off Marks 2026/2027 — All ND Programmes
The following scores are the approved minimum JAMB UTME marks for each accredited National Diploma programme:
| Programme | Minimum JAMB Score |
|---|---|
| Community Health | 150 |
| Public Health | 150 |
| Medical X-ray (Radiography) | 150 |

| Health Information Management | 120 |
| Epidemiology | 120 |
| Nutrition and Dietetics | 120 |

Note: These cut-off marks are the minimum qualifying scores. Meeting the cut-off guarantees eligibility for screening — it does not guarantee admission. Admission is competitive, and candidates who score significantly above the cut-off have a stronger chance of being offered a place.
Coming Soon — Medical Laboratory Technology and Pharmacy Technician
The college has confirmed that application forms for two additional professional programmes will go on sale shortly:
- Medical Laboratory Technology
- Pharmacy Technician
These programmes have historically attracted high application volumes. Interested candidates are advised to prepare all required credentials in advance and monitor the official college website at nascohst.edu.ng and the admissions portal at admissions.nascohst.edu.ng for the exact release date.
Who Is Eligible for Screening?
To qualify for the next phase of the NASCOHST 2026/2027 admission process, a candidate must meet all three conditions below:
1. JAMB First Choice: You must have selected Nasarawa State College of Health Science and Technology, Keffi as your First Choice institution during the 2026 JAMB registration exercise.
2. Cut-off score met: Your JAMB UTME score must be at or above the approved cut-off for your chosen programme, as listed in the table above.
3. O’Level requirements: You must possess a minimum of five (5) credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB, obtained in not more than two sittings.
Candidates who do not meet all three conditions will not be considered for the screening exercise, regardless of their JAMB score.
Did Not Choose NASCOHST as First Choice? Here Is What to Do
If you scored above the cut-off mark for your desired programme but did not initially select NASCOHST as your First Choice, you can still be considered for admission. Visit any JAMB CBT centre and request a Change of Institution to update your First Choice to Nasarawa State College of Health Science and Technology, Keffi. Do this as early as possible — the window for changes closes before screening commences.
How to Check and Confirm Your Admission Status
Once the admission list is published, candidates can verify their status through the JAMB CAPS portal:
- Visit the JAMB E-Facility portal at efacility.jamb.gov.ng
- Log in with your JAMB email address and password
- Scroll down and click Check Admission Status
- Select Access My CAPS
- Click Admission Status to view your result
If your status reads Admission Offered, you have been provisionally admitted. Proceed to the college portal at admissions.nascohst.edu.ng to complete your registration.
Avoid Admission Scams
The college has specifically warned all candidates to rely only on official communication channels for updates on screening dates, application timelines, and fee structures. Do not pay any money to agents, middlemen, or social media accounts claiming to facilitate NASCOHST admission. All legitimate information will be published at nascohst.edu.ng and the official admissions portal.
