⚠ Admission scams are common. Paying anyone to "secure" admission is illegal — no genuine school sells admission through agents, WhatsApp contacts or unofficial Facebook pages. The only application channel is utme.fctcns.edu.ng, and the only fees are the two listed above, paid through Remita and Stanbic IBTC. Anyone collecting cash for this form is not the college. If someone asks for money outside the official portal, walk away and report it.

Two weeks is all this window gets, and the screening fee is paid separately — ₦2,200 for the application through Remita, ₦10,000 for screening through Stanbic IBTC. Budget ₦12,200 before transport.

The entry bar is the standard NMCN one: five credit passes in English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology from WAEC, NECO or NABTEB in not more than two sittings, minimum age 16, UTME score of 180 or above with FCT CNS as first choice.

Screening runs a full week, 21–25 September, at the college campus in Gwagwalada. Watch the portal for your assigned day rather than guessing.
