Overview

Adamawa State College of Education, Hong (ADSCOEH) is a premier state-owned teacher-training institution located in Adamawa State, North-East Nigeria. Originally established in 1981 as the Advanced Teachers College by the defunct Gongola State Government, the college has rapidly evolved. Today, it operates a sprawling 1,522-hectare campus and serves as a major hub for pedagogical excellence, offering a vast array of NCE programs across five foundational schools, alongside fully accredited Bachelor's Degrees housed in its dedicated School of Undergraduate Studies (in affiliation with ABU Zaria and TASU Jalingo).

Situated in the quiet and secure environment of Hong, the campus is designed to foster deep academic focus. The college boasts highly experienced lecturers, modernized ICT centers (affiliated with MAU Yola), and affordable on-campus hostel facilities. Students benefit from flexible lecture schedules, well-equipped vocational workshops, and an uninterrupted academic calendar.

💡 Pro Tip: Admission into ADSCOEH provides excellent options for prospective teachers. If you are applying for the foundational NCE tracks, a JAMB score of 100 makes you highly eligible. If you aim for the 12 specialized Bachelor's degree programs, you must score at least 150 in the UTME. Candidates who have already completed their NCE can apply via Direct Entry. Ensure you effect a 'Change of Institution' on the JAMB CAPS portal if you did not initially choose COE Hong, and always have your 5 O'Level credits (including Math and English) ready for physical screening.

Admission Requirements

Candidates applying for either NCE or Degree programs must possess a minimum of five (5) O'Level credit passes in WAEC/NECO/NABTEB at not more than two (2) sittings. These credits must explicitly include Mathematics and English Language alongside other relevant subjects.

Direct Entry Rules

Direct Entry (DE) candidates seeking admission into the Degree programs must have completed an NCE or a recognized Diploma with a Merit/Lower Credit grade, in addition to possessing the foundational 5 O'Level credits.

Post UTME Screening Format

The college conducts a portal-based application and physical credential screening. Candidates generate a payment invoice, pay the required screening fee via Remita or designated banks, fill the online application, and present their printed slips alongside original credentials for physical clearance.
