Not so sure about whether he or she would be allowed because of the age factor. Well just in case you need to get the form, you can get it online via KC Lagos website or directly from the school.
Good morning,
My son passed the common entrance well and i want him to attend Kings college; but i was told you must know somebody before your son is considered and again a parent complained about the boarding facility.
Please my ward will be 10yrs old by 31 December 2019 and qualified for selection under state quota for September 2019 intake. Will the ward be admitted into Jss1 via KC?. Thanks
Good day Floxy, please how did you find out the state quota for King’s College 2025/2026 session?
It was stated in the ncee result printed out while KC is 1st choice
Thanks, I have seen this earlier. My child result is written ”qualified for selection under national merit” but I am here seeing questions on cut off and all the rest. Does it mean that the result from NCEE is just a pass mark and that KC will make a list of shortlisted candidate for selection based on their own stated cut off?
The school Author is not responding to questions as expected, this is so frustrating. It is so difficult to get something clear when Nigerians are involved, so sad.
If your child got up to 179 and KC is his first choice, it’s possible his name is on the list on the school notice board. Admission process has not commenced. I’ve been there 3 times already. Please check the school if you are in Lagos, if not, go to their website. You may be able to get info by calling the phone number listed. I hope this helps.
