The National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB) has concluded the 2026 selection and placement exercise into Federal Technical Colleges (FTCs), following the release of the National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE) results.
Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of NABTEB, Dr Mohammed Mohammed, announced the completion of the exercise on Thursday and directed candidates to check their admission status and begin registration.
He said the exercise, conducted in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education and principals of the Federal Technical Colleges, was aimed at strengthening technical and vocational education through a transparent, merit-based admission process.
According to him, the selection was carried out in line with approved admission guidelines to ensure fairness and equal opportunities for qualified candidates nationwide.
Mohammed advised candidates to check their admission status on the NABTEB website by visiting www.nabteb.gov.ng, navigating to the Media Centre and clicking on FCT Admission Status. Candidates can also confirm their status at NABTEB offices across the 36 states, the six geopolitical zones and the board’s headquarters in Benin, Edo State.
He said successful candidates should visit the NABTEB e-world portal from July 24 to print their admission notification slips, which will enable them obtain admission letters from their respective colleges.
Mohammed urged admitted candidates to complete their registration within the stipulated period to avoid losing their admission.
He congratulated the successful candidates and encouraged parents and guardians to support their wards, describing technical and vocational education as critical to Nigeria’s industrial growth and economic transformation.
He reaffirmed NABTEB’s commitment to promoting quality, transparency and excellence in technical and vocational education through a credible admission process.
