Selected Applicants List — Health Colleges 2026/2027 (Certificate, Diploma, Degree)

If you applied to join a health college in Tanzania for the 2026/2027 academic year — whether for a Certificate, Diploma, or Degree programme — this guide shows you exactly where and how to check the official selected applicants list, using Tanzania's two official admission portals.

Overview: Health Colleges Selection 2026/2027

Admissions into Health and Allied Sciences (HAS) programmes in Tanzania are coordinated by two separate government bodies, depending on the level of study:

• NACTVET (National Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training) — handles Certificate and Diploma level HAS programmes, mostly through the Central Admission System (CAS) for institutions on Mainland Tanzania.
• TCU (Tanzania Commission for Universities) — handles Degree level programmes offered by universities and university colleges, including health-related degree courses.

Selection is competitive and based on the number of available slots at each institution, so being qualified does not automatically guarantee a place — applicants are encouraged to check their status directly rather than relying on rumors or unofficial sources.

Which Portal Should You Use: NACTVET or TCU?

Use the portal that matches the programme level you applied for:

• Applied for a Certificate or Diploma in a health-related field → check via www.nactvet.go.tz.
• Applied for a Degree in a health-related field at a university → check via www.tcu.go.tz.

If you are unsure which body processed your application, check the confirmation message or email you received when you first submitted your application — it will indicate which system your application was submitted through.

How to Check Your Selection via NACTVET

1. Go to the official NACTVET website: www.nactvet.go.tz.
2. Look for the selection results or admission announcements section on the homepage, or the dedicated results/verification link.
3. Enter the details requested (such as your application number or the code sent to your registered phone number/email).
4. Review your result carefully — if selected, it will show your name, the institution, and the programme you were placed in.
5. If you were selected, proceed to verify your results using the code NACTVET sent you, as explained below.

How to Check Your Selection via TCU

1. Go to the official TCU website: www.tcu.go.tz.
2. Locate the admissions or selected applicants section for the 2026/2027 academic year.
3. Search using your application details as instructed on the page (such as your form number or application ID).
4. Check the result shown — it will confirm the university and programme you were selected for, if successful.
5. Follow TCU's instructions for confirming your admission, which may include reporting to the university within a set deadline.

What to Do After You're Selected

• Keep any confirmation code safe — NACTVET-selected applicants typically receive a code by SMS/email that must be presented at the college during registration.
• Report within the official deadline announced by NACTVET or TCU — missing the reporting window can result in losing your place to another applicant.
• Carry the required original documents (academic certificates, transcripts, identification, passport photos) when reporting to your institution, as specified in your admission letter.
• Verify your registration afterward by checking the official portal again once your college completes your registration, to confirm everything was recorded correctly.

If You Were Not Selected

Selection depends on competition for available places at each institution. If you applied but were not selected in the first round:

• Watch for announcements of additional application/selection rounds or windows, which are common when institutions still have open slots.
• Consider applying to colleges or programmes with more available space in the next window.
• Always confirm any new deadlines directly on the official NACTVET or TCU websites rather than relying on second-hand information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I check the selected applicants list for health colleges 2026/2027?
On the official portals only — www.nactvet.go.tz for Certificate/Diploma programmes, and www.tcu.go.tz for Degree programmes.

Is checking the selected applicants list free?
Yes. There is no official fee to check your selection status on either portal.

What if my name doesn't appear on the list?
It may mean you were not selected in that round, or there was an issue with your application details. Contact the institution you applied to, or NACTVET/TCU directly, rather than assuming and reapplying unnecessarily.

Can someone else check my results for me?
It's best to check your own results using your own application details, since some steps require a code sent directly to your registered phone number or email.

Final Note

Always use the official NACTVET and TCU websites to check your selection status, and avoid third parties or brokers claiming to speed up or guarantee admission — this is not how the selection process works and can put your application at risk. For exact 2026/2027 reporting dates and requirements, always confirm directly with NACTVET, TCU, or your selected institution.
