Adamawa State College of Health Technology, Michika admission requirements for Health Information Management, as last reported, are five O’level credits in science subjects at not more than two sittings, the college’s own form (₦6,500 in 2024/2025) and its entrance exam. Reports from 2024 list a two-year ND in Health Information Management. No source says whether JAMB is involved, and I could not confirm approval by the Health Records Officers Registration Board of Nigeria (HRORBN).
2027/2028 update: Adamawa State College of Health Technology, Michika admission requirements and its entrance exam process usually stay the same from one year to the next, so the position on this page is what 2027/2028 candidates should plan with. The most recent details available are from the 2024/2025 form reported in 2024. If the college publishes a newer notice, we will update this page.
Please read this before you rely on anything below. Everything I could find about the college’s admissions comes from blog reprints written in 2024, not from an official notice. I found no college website, no 2025/2026 or 2026/2027 advert, and no record from the professional councils that approve health courses. The college is also not on the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s December 2025 list of approved schools. So this page tells you what was reported, labels it, and lists what you must confirm with the college before paying.

There is no cut-off history to show, because the college has not published a cut-off mark or an exam pass mark for any session. If someone gives you a “Michika cut-off”, ask for the notice it came from.
Is Health Information Management at Michika approved?
Health records and information management is regulated by HRORBN, and the ND is also accredited by NBTE. I found no record from either body naming the Michika college. Both 2024 blog lists include the programme, but I could not confirm current approval.
- Ask for the approval letter: the council letter or certificate naming the college and the programme, with its date.
- Check the council yourself: HRORBN regulates health records training; ask the board whether the Michika college is approved for the ND.
- Ask about NBTE: National Diploma programmes are normally accredited by NBTE as well as the professional council.
- Ask about indexing and licensing: students on approved programmes are usually indexed by the council early in the course; ask when that happens and how much it costs.
I am not saying the programme is unapproved. I am saying I could not confirm its approval, and with health courses that matters more than anything else on this page.
Health Information Management admission requirements (reported)
The only published requirements are from a 2024 blog reprint of the college’s advert. They are general to the college, not specific to Health Information Management:
- Diploma, ND and HND courses: five credits in basic science subjects in WAEC, NECO or GCE, at not more than two sittings.
- Certificate courses: four passes including English, Mathematics and two sciences (Biology, Chemistry or Health Science), with Grade II and NABTEB results also mentioned.
- Experience entry: the blog says some certificate holders with one year of experience may enter at 200 level.
What I would present (my advice)
| Your O’level position | My read for Health Information Management |
|---|---|
| Fewer than five credits | Short of the reported ND rule; resit first |
| Five credits, but no English or Mathematics | Risky; most health courses want both |
| Five credits including English, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry | Meets the reported rule and the usual health college standard |
| Five or more credits with English and Mathematics at B grade, one sitting | Strong. This is what I would aim for. |
Health Information Management is less chemistry-heavy than other health courses, but the reported rule still asks for science credits. I would present English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry or Physics and one more, with computer skills as a bonus at interview.
Do you need JAMB for Health Information Management at Michika?
No source mentions JAMB for this college, and I could not confirm whether JAMB lists it. Many state colleges of health technology have admitted through their own forms and entrance exams, but JAMB now expects National Diploma admissions to pass through CAPS, and the Federal Government said in May 2026 that admissions outside CAPS are illegal. My advice:
- For an ND: ask the college whether you must choose it on JAMB. If yes, register for the UTME and score at least 100, JAMB’s 2026/2027 minimum for polytechnics and monotechnics.
- For a certificate course: JAMB does not normally handle certificate admissions, but ask the college what it requires.
- Keep a UTME option open: if you can, register for the 2027 UTME with English, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. It keeps other colleges and universities open to you.
Entrance exam and screening
The college has not published the exam format, date or pass mark in any source I reached. Colleges of health technology usually set an objective test in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and general knowledge, then an interview. Prepare for that pattern, but treat it as my guidance.
Worked example (illustrative)
Ezekiel has one WAEC sitting: English B3, Mathematics C4, Biology C5, Chemistry C6, Physics C5 and Data Processing B2. He wants ND Health Information Management.
- O’level check: English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, plus Data Processing, in one sitting. That clears the reported science-credit rule.
- Approval check: he asks the college for HRORBN and NBTE letters.
- JAMB check: he asks whether JAMB applies; if so, he needs at least 100 in the UTME.
- Exam preparation: English, Mathematics, Biology and general knowledge, plus basic computer questions.
How to apply for Health Information Management at Michika, step by step
- Confirm the course is running and approved: visit or call the college in Michika and ask for the current notice and the HRORBN approval letter.
- Ask whether JAMB is required: if it is, register for the UTME and make the college your choice. Get your JAMB profile code by sending NIN, a space and your NIN to 55019 or 66019.
- Generate the payment invoice only from the college’s portal: the 2024 blog named ascoht.admissions.cloud and Remita. Confirm the address with the college before you pay, because I could not open it.
- Fill the form and upload documents: O’level result, birth certificate, certificate of origin and passport photographs are the usual set.
- Print your form and exam slip: take them to the exam with your payment receipt.
- Sit the entrance exam and interview.
- Check the admission list and, if JAMB applies, accept on CAPS: our JAMB CAPS guide explains each status.
- Pay acceptance and register: only through the channel on your admission letter.
Warning
Before you pay for any Michika form, get the professional council approval for your programme in writing. A health certificate from an unapproved programme may not lead to a licence or a government job.

- NGO projects: health data and monitoring and evaluation.

See all the courses reported for the college in our College of Health Technology Michika admission guide.
Mistakes Health Information Management applicants make
- Not checking HRORBN approval: without it you may not be registered as a health records officer.
- Trusting a blog date: the last sale dates I found are from 2024. Get the current dates from the college.
- Confusing Michika colleges: Tikos and Kings College and Royal Intellect College, both in Michika, are private colleges that Adamawa State ordered to remain closed in October 2025. They are not this state college.
- Paying an agent for “admission”: pay only the college, through its own invoice.

The 2026/2027 polytechnic minimum of 100 and the CAPS-only warning are from the News Agency of Nigeria report of 11 May 2026. No HRORBN or NBTE record naming the college was found.

I am Jude Chinecherem, a final-year MBBS student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I know what it feels like to want an education your family cannot afford. When my parents could not pay for my schooling, I had to learn how to find scholarships and work the system out on my own, with nobody to guide me. I came out the other side, and now I share everything I learned so the next student does not have to figure it out alone. This is the advice I wish someone had given me back then.
