Are you an admission seeker looking for a seamless pathway to higher education without the stress of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)? The Federal College of Education (FCE), Okene, has officially opened its doors for the upcoming academic session.
Under the motto “Knowledge, Skill and Service,” FCE Okene is thrilled to announce that Admission Season is officially here! The institution is offering a unique and highly advantageous opportunity for all admission seekers through its Dual Mandate (NCE-DEGREE) Program for the 2026/2027 academic session.
This program is designed to build your future with them by offering a seamless transition from a National Certificate in Education (NCE) directly into a Bachelor’s Degree program, all within the same institution.
The Dual Mandate program offers a structured five-year academic journey. Students will progress smoothly through the following stages:
· NCE I
· NCE II
· NCE III
· DEGREE IV
· DEGREE V
This integrated approach saves students the hassle of seeking a new institution or going through another rigorous admission process after their NCE.
The college has rolled out a series of highly attractive features tailored to support students academically, financially, and socially. Here is what makes this admission season special:
- No JAMB Result Required (But Welcome!)
The biggest highlight of this program is that no JAMB result is required to gain admission. However, if you are a candidate who already has a JAMB result, you are also fully eligible to apply. - Accessible Entry Requirements
Admission into the program requires candidates to have four (4) credit passes in relevant subjects. - Flexible Study Options
Candidates have the autonomy to decide their academic fate. You can choose to stop after completing your NCE and obtain your certificate, or you can continue for an additional two years to earn your full Bachelor’s Degree. - Financial Relief & Scholarships
FCE Okene is committed to reducing the financial burden on students. The college offers a scholarship opportunity for the first year, with access to the NELFUND (Nigerian Education Loan Fund) facility available for subsequent years. - Entrepreneurship & Modern Facilities
Beyond regular academics, the college provides entrepreneurship training alongside degree programs to ensure graduates are ready for the real world.
· 24-Hour WiFi: Stay connected anytime with free 24-hour internet facilities available in both classrooms and hostel environments.
