How much fee for Queens College new students going to SSS1?
Good day ma,
what is the cut off mark for the new student for year 2025/2026.

I honestly doubt it. She can join from either JSS1 or SS1
Please I will like to know if the transfer into SS1 lists for Queens College is out.
Hello Sir,
Is QC only boarding?
Yes it is strictly boarding.
I visited the school yesterday to get form for my daughter ( ss1) but I was asked to go to ministry of education. Pls what do I do
Then that’s your only option at the moment. In the past, you would have been able to obtain the form from the school but policy has changed most likely.
Yes
Hi ,
Please what is the procedure for getting admission into SS1 for my daughter as I want to relocate her to QC after her Junior Waec for the 23/24 academic year .
Hello good afternoon, my daughter attends private school and she’s about to take common entrance and I would like to enroll her in Queens college please how do I go about it,. I went to the school to get information but instead of giving me information, the security man and charge called a lady from the school for me to the gate and she told me I have to pay 250,000 naira for them to work everything for her that if she takes the exam after the payment I will be sure that she will attend the school and I don’t want to enroll her based on those terms so what do I do how do I get the form how do I go about it please respond
That’s absurd. 250k??? You are supposed to gain access into the admin office. There you will be attended to. Yes, gaining admission into QC is pretty challenging but paying 250k to anyone is a risky move.
Mrs owolabi

Pleasant morning to you. My ward chose Queen’s college as her choice of school for 2018/19 session but the NCEE result isn’t just yet. What should I do?
Good morning. You will have to wait. Results should be out before a new session begins in September. Just be patient
Results are not yet out?
Please i have a ward that wants to enroll into senior secondary school 1. How do we get details about the entrance exam
You have to visit Queens college admission office physically to purchase the form
Please when is the deadline for the form?
No deadline has been placed yet
I was there physically yesterday for the purchase of the transfer form the staff there including VP ACAD all denied that Queens College Yaba don’t sell such for or accept transfer from other school. We are a case study in this Country. I quite understand the fact that the population that wish to attend that School is more than the available resources but why reserving the seats in the classrooms for special people and not on merit? Am sure what they denied is not true and the post in this Website is also a camouflage students are not admitted into that school normally. Let us know that if this is how they are treating us in UK Nigerians who have gone there for riots. The way we treat ourselves in this country is just too terrible. The most religious Country in the world but full of corruption. If you are a novice here you better work away and get you child admitted in another school.
Good day pls I will want to know whether after seeing my daughters result ,that she will immediately write an essay why she choose Queens college and submit in the school , thanks and God bless
Not yet. Until a new session is about beginning
