The Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, has announced the commencement of its post-UTME admission screening exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session. The screening is scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 25, 2025.
Established in 1977 as the only college of special education in Sub-Sahara West Africa, the institution is inviting applications from suitably qualified candidates for its Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programme.
According to a release by the Registrar, J. A. Araoye, prospective candidates who chose the college as their first-choice institution in the 2025 UTME and scored 100 or above are eligible to apply. The college’s admission policy, which considers the entire nation as its catchment area, also allows candidates who did not initially select the institution but scored 100 and above to apply, provided they change their institution of choice to the college. Additionally, all applicants must be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025.
The application process is entirely online. Candidates are to log on to www.nce.fcesoyo.edu.ng to pay a non-refundable fee of N2,000 for the online registration.
