Katsina State College of Health Sciences and Technology runs its post-UTME screening earlier in the year than most Nigerian institutions, which means candidates checking this page late in the year are often looking at a window that has already closed for the current session.
This applies to candidates who chose Katsina State College of Health Sciences and Technology (COHESKAT) as their institution and met the cut-off mark for one of its ND programmes.
COHESKAT screens applicants for Dental Therapy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Health Information Management Technician, and Environmental Technology, each with its own scheduled screening day rather than one shared date for everyone.
Below is what the application and screening process actually looks like, the cut-off mark you need to have met, and what your options are if you’re reading this after the main screening window has already passed.
The Katsina State College of Health Sciences and Technology wishes to inform the general public about the minimum cut-off marks for admission to several of its programs.
These programs are Dental Therapy (ND), Nutrition and Dietetics (ND), Health Information Management Technician (ND), and Environmental Technology (ND) and the cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 120.
COHESKAT invites candidates who chose the college as their first choice, scored at least 120, and uploaded their SSCE results on the JAMB portal to apply for post-UTME screening.
For the 2026/2027 cycle, this exercise ran from February to March, much earlier in the year than the August-to-September window this page previously listed, so don’t rely on that older date range.
How to Apply
- Visit the College website.
- Click on Post-UTME Portal.
- Enter your JAMB Registration Number for authentication.
- Make an online payment of Two Thousand Naira (N2,000.00), excluding Bank Processing Charges.
Proceed with your online Application, and submit and print the Screening/Interview Slip.

Screening Is Scheduled Per Programme
COHESKAT has historically scheduled screening on different days for different programmes, for example, Dental Therapy and Health Information Management Technician on one day, Nutrition and Dietetics and Environmental Technology on another. Your screening slip, generated after you apply, will show your exact date; don’t assume a date from a past cycle still applies.
If You’re Past This Year’s Window
By October, COHESKAT’s main 2026/2027 screening cycle (which ran earlier in the year) has typically already closed. If you missed it, check the college’s admission portal or contact them directly to ask about supplementary screening or the next intake, rather than assuming you’re locked out.
What to Have Ready Before You Apply
Before starting the online application, gather your JAMB registration number, a valid email address you check regularly, and a means of online payment for the N2,000 screening fee.
Candidates who delay printing their Screening/Interview Slip after submitting sometimes struggle to retrieve it later if the portal session has already expired, so print it the same day you complete your application rather than planning to come back for it.
Key Takeaway
COHESKAT runs its screening earlier in the year than many institutions, so the most common mistake candidates make is checking this page expecting an exercise that has already happened.
If you’re past the February to March window for this cycle, your best move is contacting the college directly about supplementary intake rather than waiting on a screening date that has already passed.
