Jigawa State College of Nursing School of Midwifery Admission form for 2026/2027 Is Out
The Jigawa State College of Nursing Sciences has commenced its 2026/2027 admission exercise for eligible candidates seeking admission into its nursing and midwifery programmes.
The institution operates campuses in Birnin Kudu, Hadejia and Babura, with separate admission arrangements for the different campuses. The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) lists the Birnin Kudu School of Basic Midwifery, as well as the midwifery programmes at Hadejia and Babura, among approved programmes.
For the 2026/2027 session, reports indicate that the college opened its Post-UTME application for its ND/HND Nursing programmes from May 25, 2026. Candidates should therefore distinguish the current ND/HND Nursing admission exercise from Basic Midwifery admission, as the programmes and application procedures may differ.
