FCE Oyo Post-UTME Registration Deadline 2026/2027
The deadline for candidates to submit their 2026/2027 FCE Oyo admission screening application is Wednesday, September 23, 2026.

Candidates who have already started their applications should ensure that their forms have been properly completed and submitted. They should also print the completed application form because it is listed among the documents required for the screening exercise.
When Is FCE Oyo Post-UTME Screening 2026/2027?
The FCE Oyo Post-UTME screening exercise will hold on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
The College has fixed the commencement time for 9:00 a.m. prompt. The venue will be the location indicated on each candidate’s printed copy of the completed online admission screening application form.
Candidates should therefore check their printed application documents carefully and make adequate arrangements to arrive at the designated venue on time.
The close timing between the application deadline and screening date makes it particularly important for applicants to complete every required step before the registration portal closes.
Who Is Eligible for FCE Oyo Admission?
The Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo has provided several eligibility routes for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
Candidates who selected the College as their first choice institution in the 2026 UTME are eligible to participate in the admission process. Candidates who did not initially select FCE Oyo can also become eligible by changing their institution to the College and making it their first choice.
The College also states that candidates who did not sit for the 2026 UTME may be eligible for admission under the stated programme conditions.
In addition, applicants are required to possess at least four O’Level credit passes in accepted examinations, including WAEC, NECO, NABTEB or NBAIS, depending on the programme and subject requirements.
Candidates must also be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2026 to qualify for admission under the stated requirements.
FCE Oyo Post-UTME Screening Fee
The College’s admission portal states that candidates are required to pay a non-refundable admission screening fee of ₦2,000 through the Remita payment platform.
There is also a ₦700 processing fee for candidates seeking admission for the 2026/2027 academic session.
Candidates should carefully review the payment information displayed on the official admission portal before making payment. They should also retain their payment evidence and application documents for reference during the admission process.
For candidates who did not sit for the 2026 UTME, the College’s portal provides additional instructions relating to JAMB registration and associated charges. The portal should be consulted directly for the applicable procedure rather than relying on unofficial payment instructions.
Documents Required for FCE Oyo Screening
Candidates attending the screening exercise are expected to prepare the relevant admission documents.
According to the College’s current screening instructions, applicants should present two copies of their UTME e-Notification of Results Slip. Candidates should also present the original and a photocopy of their completed online admission screening application form.
Applicants are also expected to present their relevant SSCE/GCE O’Level results, including WAEC or NECO. NABTEB is recognised for specified vocational and technical programmes, while NBAIS is applicable to Arabic Language and Islamic Studies according to the College’s stated requirements.
Candidates who changed their institution to FCE Oyo are expected to bring their Change of Institution printout.
The College also requires candidates to upload their O’Level results to their JAMB profile at an accredited CBT centre. Applicants awaiting their WAEC, NECO, NABTEB or NBAIS results may apply, but the results must subsequently be uploaded to the JAMB Central Admission Processing System when available.
FCE Oyo Available NCE Programmes
FCE Oyo offers a range of NCE programmes covering early childhood education, primary education, languages, sciences, vocational and technical education, as well as arts and social sciences.
The current admission portal lists programmes including Adult and Non-Formal Education, Early Childhood and Care Education, Primary Education, Arabic Language, English Language, French Language, Hausa Language and Yoruba Language.
Science-related options include Biology, Chemistry, Computer Education, Integrated Science, Mathematics, Physical and Health Education and Physics.
Candidates interested in vocational and technical education can find options such as Agricultural Education, Business Education, Fine and Applied Arts, Home Economics and Technical Education.
The College also lists arts and social science options including Christian Religious Studies, Cultural and Creative Arts, Economics, Geography, History, Islamic Studies, Music, Political Science, Social Studies and Theatre Arts.
Applicants should confirm the specific subject combination and O’Level requirements for their chosen programme before completing the admission process.
FCE Oyo Five-Year Dual Mode Degree Programme
One of the notable options in the 2026/2027 admission exercise is the five-year Dual Mode Degree Programme.
The College explains that admission is initially into a three-year NCE programme. Candidates who successfully complete the NCE programme and satisfy the required progression conditions can then proceed to a two-year Degree programme, making the total duration five years.
This means candidates should not interpret the programme as direct admission into the degree stage. The College clearly states that students first enter the NCE programme and subsequently progress to the degree stage after meeting the relevant academic and institutional requirements.
For students interested in becoming professional educators, this structure provides a route that combines NCE training with further degree-level education.
What Candidates Should Do Before the Deadline
Candidates who have not completed their applications should prioritise the remaining registration requirements before September 23, 2026.
Applicants should ensure that their personal information, academic details and programme choices are correctly entered. They should also confirm that required O’Level results have been uploaded to their JAMB profile where applicable.
After completing the online application, candidates should print the admission screening application form and keep multiple copies. The College specifically requires the completed form as part of the documents for the screening exercise.
Candidates should also make sure they have their UTME result notification slip and other required academic documents ready before travelling to the screening venue.
FCE Oyo Screening Venue and Time
The FCE Oyo admission portal states that the screening exercise will commence at 9:00 a.m. prompt on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
The exact venue for an individual candidate is indicated on the printed copy of the completed online admission screening application form.
Candidates should therefore check their application printout rather than assuming that every applicant will be assigned to the same location.
Arriving early is also advisable because candidates may need time to locate their assigned venue and complete any required verification before the screening exercise begins.
FCE Oyo Admission Registration Portal
The College operates dedicated online portals for its different admission programmes. The current Dual Mode Programme portal contains the 2026/2027 admission screening information, application instructions, payment options and programme details.
Candidates should use official FCE Oyo platforms when completing their applications and making payments. They should be cautious about individuals or websites requesting payment into personal accounts or claiming to have special access to admission.
The main Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo website identifies the institution as a specialist teacher-training institution with NCE, degree and other education programmes.
Final Notice to FCE Oyo Applicants
The FCE Oyo Post-UTME registration deadline for the 2026/2027 academic session is September 23, 2026, while the screening exercise is scheduled for September 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.
Prospective students who have already registered should concentrate on preparing the required documents and checking the venue stated on their application printout. Those who have not yet completed the registration should act before the stated deadline.
Because admission requirements can differ according to programme, applicants should also verify their chosen course requirements and ensure that their O’Level and JAMB information is correctly uploaded before attending the screening.
