MISAU COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY RELEASE S ADMISSION FORM FOR 2026/2027 ACADEMIC SESSION

The Management of Misau College of Health Science and Technology (MICOHEST) has formally ratified the commencement of the online admission cycle for the 2026/2027 Academic Session. Effective Monday, 23rd March, 2026, the college portal is open for prospective healthcare professionals seeking specialized training in community health, diagnostics, and medical informatics.

As an institution dedicated to bridging the manpower gap in the Nigerian healthcare sector, MICOHEST employs a rigorous screening process to ensure that only candidates with the requisite foundational knowledge in the core sciences are inducted into its professional diploma and certificate programmes.

Academic Architecture: Accredited Professional Streams

The 2026/2027 intake is divided into distinct professional cadres, each governed by specific regulatory boards and councils. Prospective students are advised to choose programmes that align with their career aspirations within the clinical or administrative health sectors.

1. Community Health Stream (JCHEW & CHEW)

This stream focuses on primary healthcare delivery and rural health intervention.

• Junior Community Health Extension Worker (JCHEW): A certificate-level entry into the healthcare system.

• Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW): A diploma-level programme for both fresh applicants and “Retrainees” looking to upgrade their skills.

• Direct Entry Pathway: Candidates who already hold a JCHEW certificate and meet the O-Level credit requirements are eligible for admission into the 200 Level of the CHEW programme, effectively shortening their residency.

2. Diagnostic and Laboratory Sciences (XRT & MLT)

These are highly technical programmes requiring precision and a strong background in physics and chemistry.

• Medical X-ray and Imaging Technology (XRT): Training in radiologic technology and medical imaging diagnostics.

• Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT): Focuses on clinical pathology, microbiology, and chemical analysis.

3. Health Informatics (HIM)

• Professional Diploma in Health Information Management: This programme merges healthcare with data management, focusing on the coding, storage, and retrieval of medical records in a digitalized health environment.

The “Core Five” Admission Thresholds

MICOHEST maintains a strict adherence to the O-Level requirements set by national health regulatory bodies. Candidates must present results from not more than two sittings (combining WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB).

The Entrance Examination Factor: Meeting the O-Level threshold is only the first phase. Every applicant is statutorily required to sit for a Competitive Entrance Examination. This assessment tests the candidate’s proficiency in English, Mathematics, and General Sciences to ensure they can cope with the rigorous medical curriculum.

Digital Onboarding: The 5-Step Application Workflow

The college has migrated to a fully digital application system via www.micohest.edu.ng to enhance transparency and reduce administrative bottlenecks.

1. Account Creation: Navigate to the ‘Apply Now’ section. You can use a standard phone number or the “Sign up with Google” feature for an instant dashboard link.

2. Course Selection: Within the dashboard, use the ‘More Information’ button to double-check that your O-Level results match the specific requirements of your chosen course before proceeding.

3. The “Accept and Pay” Protocol: Confirm your payer details. A non-refundable fee of N6,500 is mandatory. The portal supports multiple payment channels, including Bank Transfer, Card, USSD, and Visa QR.

4. Final Submission: Once the payment is verified, the full application form will be unlocked. Fill in your personal and academic data carefully.

5. The Acknowledgement Slip: After submission, you MUST click ‘Print Application.’ This slip is your “Gate Pass” for the entrance examination and must be presented on the day of the test.

Conclusion: Launching a Career in Healthcare

The March 23rd opening of the MICOHEST admission portal marks the beginning of a professional journey for thousands of aspiring health workers. By adhering to the strict credit requirements and following the digital application workflow, candidates can secure their place in one of Bauchi State’s premier health technology institutions.
