The management of Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin (KWCOEILORIN), has officially opened its portal for the 2025/2026 Post-UTME screening exercise, inviting applications from suitably qualified candidates seeking admission into its various National Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes.
According to the institution, candidates who scored a minimum of 100 marks in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and selected the college as their first, second, third, or fourth choice are eligible to apply.
Applicants presenting a single O’Level sitting must possess at least four credits, including English or Mathematics, while those applying with two sittings must present five credits, including both English and Mathematics. Candidates who do not meet these requirements will be unable to proceed with the application.
For those who did not initially choose the institution or who wish to change their course of study, a change of institution or course must be processed through JAMB.
Prospective students are to register and pay for the Pre-Admission Screening through the college portal. Applicants must fill in the screening form and provide valid PIN and serial numbers from recognized result checker cards for O’Level verification.
