SA’ADU ZUNGUR UNIVERSITY (SAZU) ANNOUCES PHYSICAL SCREENING FOR NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


The management of Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZUG) has officially announced the physical screening exercise for candidates who have been shortlisted on the supplementary admission list for the 2025/2026 academic session. This screening is a compulsory step for all candidates seeking admission into the university’s undergraduate programmes.

The physical screening is not for all applicants, but only for candidates who have been shortlisted in the supplementary admission list. If your name is on that list, this information is for you. If you do not attend the physical screening, you will lose your chance of admission, so you must take this announcement very seriously.


Date and Venue for Screening

The physical screening exercise will take place from:

📅 Monday, 20th October 2025
to
📅 Friday, 24th October 2025

The screening will be conducted at the various campuses of Sa’adu Zungur University where each programme is located. This means that candidates must visit the campus where their department is based. For example:

  • Candidates for Science programmes will screen at the Gubi Campus

  • Candidates for Arts and Social Sciences may screen at Yuli Campus

  • Professional courses will screen at their respective campuses

Candidates are strongly advised to arrive early at the venue and follow all instructions from university officials.


How to Check Your Name

The university has released the list of candidates who are eligible for this physical screening. All shortlisted candidates are to click the link provided by the university to view the Supplementary Admission List.

If your name appears on the list, prepare for the screening immediately.
If your name is not yet on the list, keep checking as more lists may be released.

Note: Any candidate who fails to come with these documents will not be screened.


O’Level Upload Warning

Before coming for screening, candidates must upload their O’level results on the JAMB CAPS Portal at any JAMB accredited centre. This step is very important because JAMB does not give admission to candidates who have not uploaded their O’level results.

Candidates who fail to do this may lose their admission, even if they pass the physical screening.


After the Screening – What Next?

After your screening, wait for 2–3 days, then:

✅ Log into your JAMB CAPS Portal
Accept your admission
Print your JAMB Admission Letter

Only candidates who accept their admission on JAMB CAPS will later get access to print their Sa’adu Zungur University admission letter on the school portal.

If a candidate rejects admission on JAMB CAPS by mistake, the university will automatically withdraw the admission, so applicants must be very careful.


Important Instructions

  • The screening is not an exam. It is only for document verification.

  • All documents must be original and photocopies.

  • Any false information or fake document will lead to automatic disqualification.

  • Parents and guardians will not be allowed inside the screening venue.

  • Candidates must dress decently and behave responsibly.

  • All COVID-19 or university safety rules must be followed.

  • Late coming will not be tolerated.

  • Any candidate who misses the screening date will not be reconsidered.


Final Words to Candidates

The university congratulates all shortlisted candidates for making it this far in the admission process. Admission into a university is a major step in life, and Sa’adu Zungur University is committed to giving all students the best learning environment.

If your name is on the list, this is a great opportunity for you—do not miss it. Make sure you prepare all your documents and travel on time. Also, avoid falling victim to fraudsters or fake admission agents. The university does not ask candidates to pay money to anyone for admission. Admission is based on merit and qualifications only.

This is to inform all students of Sa’adu Zungur University, formerly known as Bauchi State University, that the school management has officially released the approved schedule of students’ charges for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The physical screening exercise at ATBU is not just a formality—it is a crucial part of the university’s admission process. Through this exercise, the school ensures that every admitted candidate genuinely meets the eligibility criteria and has presented accurate and verifiable credentials.

During the screening, officials will:

  • Confirm that candidates’ academic qualifications (O’level results) align with the programme requirements.

  • Cross-check JAMB registration details and ensure candidates applied through the official JAMB portal.

  • Verify birth certificates, local government identification, and other relevant personal documents.

  • Detect and prevent cases of impersonation or document falsification.


🧾 Documents Required for the Screening

All candidates are expected to appear in person with both the original and photocopies of the following documents for verification:

  1. JAMB Admission Letter (if available)

  2. JAMB Result Slip showing the candidate’s score and choice of institution

  3. O’Level Results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) – must include five (5) credits, including English Language and Mathematics

  4. Birth Certificate or Age Declaration

  5. Local Government Identification Letter

  6. Post-UTME Acknowledgment/Screening Slip

  7. Recent Passport Photographs

  8. Application Payment Slip or Receipt

Candidates are strongly advised to organize their documents neatly and ensure that all information corresponds correctly across all credentials. Any form of inconsistency—such as name mismatch, date of birth discrepancies, or unverified O’Level results—could delay or even disqualify a candidate from the admission process.


⚠️ Important Instructions from the Registrar

The university has emphasized that there will be no extension after the closing date of Saturday, 25th October 2025. Therefore, candidates must take note of the dates and attend the screening within the specified period.

The Registrar, Alh. Kabiru Garba Aminu (FNIPR), in the official statement, stressed the importance of punctuality, discipline, and compliance with all screening guidelines. He further urged candidates to conduct themselves responsibly during the exercise.

“All applicants are expected to appear in person for the screening within the stipulated period. Kindly note that there will be no extension after the closing date,” the notice read.

He also added that candidates should come along with all relevant original copies of their documents for verification. Failure to do so would mean automatic disqualification from the admission consideration process.


📚 Why the Screening Exercise Matters

For many applicants, the physical screening is the final confirmation step before admission into ATBU. The process helps the university maintain transparency and uphold the integrity of its admission system.

It is during this exercise that university officials confirm that all shortlisted candidates have:

  • Applied correctly through JAMB

  • Attained the required cut-off mark

  • Uploaded valid academic qualifications

  • Provided authentic personal data

Without passing this stage, even a high JAMB score or post-UTME performance cannot secure a candidate’s admission.


💡 Tips for a Smooth Screening Experience

To ensure that the process goes smoothly, candidates are advised to keep the following tips in mind:

  1. Arrive early: It’s best to be at the venue before 9:00 am to avoid long queues.

  2. Dress appropriately: Appear decently dressed. Remember, you are representing yourself as a prospective ATBU student.

  3. Organize your documents: Arrange all credentials in a clear file, separating originals and photocopies for easy access.

  4. Avoid proxy representation: Candidates must appear in person. No one can attend the screening on behalf of another.

  5. Stay updated: Regularly check the university’s website and official social media pages for any new information or announcements.


📅 No Extension Policy

The management has made it clear that no extension of date will be granted beyond the stated deadline of 25th October 2025. Candidates who fail to appear for screening within the period automatically forfeit their admission opportunity for the session.

Hence, applicants should make adequate travel and accommodation arrangements to ensure timely appearance for the exercise.

Maths, English Remain Compulsory for O’Level Students, FG Clarifies


The Federal Government has clarified that English Language and Mathematics remain compulsory subjects for all students registering for their O’Level examinations, despite the recent review of admission requirements into tertiary institutions.

In a statement issued on Sunday by the Federal Ministry of Education, the government said the new policy on streamlined admission criteria does not exempt any candidate from registering or sitting for the two core subjects.

According to the statement signed by Director of Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, the clarification became necessary following misinterpretations of the new O’Level admission framework.

The Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa, explained that the reform was introduced to promote flexibility, inclusiveness, and fairness in tertiary education admissions, ensuring that capable students are not denied access because of deficiencies in subjects unrelated to their chosen courses.

 

“The streamlining ensures that deserving students are not denied access to higher education due to credit deficiencies in subjects that are not directly relevant to their chosen fields of study,” Alausa said.

He added that the new framework aligns with global best practices and corrects imbalances in the previous admission system by allowing institutions to admit candidates into certain programmes where credit passes in either subject are not compulsory, but all students must still register and sit for both.

“All students must continue to take both subjects as part of their Senior School Certificate Examinations, as they remain vital components of a sound educational foundation,” the statement partly read.

The ministry said the policy supports the Federal Government’s broader goal of equitable access, inclusivity, and human capital development, while upholding education quality and integrity.

It also urged students, parents, and education stakeholders to rely solely on the ministry’s official communication channels and verified social media platforms for accurate updates on reforms and policies.

The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to building a credible, inclusive, and globally competitive education system anchored on integrity, excellence, and equal opportunity for all learners.

TEAM CAMPUSINFO  had reported that Nigerian senior secondary school students in arts and humanities will no longer be required to present a credit in mathematics in their Senior School Certificate Examination, organised by the West African Examination Council and National Examination Council, as a condition for admission to universities and polytechnics, the Federal Ministry of Education.

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY (DELSU) RELEASES CHANGE OF COURSE ADMISSION FORM FOR DIRECT ENTRY STUDENTS FOR 2025/2026 ACADEMIC SESSION


The management of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, has officially released an important update for candidates seeking admission into the university for the 2025/2026 academic session. This announcement is targeted at applicants who participated in the DELSU Post-UTME screening exercise but have not yet been offered admission due to not meeting the cut-off marks for their original course choices.

According to the notice from the university, vacancies now exist in several departments and programmes, giving candidates another opportunity to secure admission through a Change of Course/Programme process. This admission opportunity also extends to candidates from DELSU JUPEB and CCEP programmes.


✅ Who is Eligible?

This window is open to:

  • Candidates who participated in the DELSU Post-UTME screening for 2025/2026.

  • Candidates whose aggregate score is below the cut-off mark of their initially chosen course.

  • Candidates who meet the O’Level requirements of their newly selected programme.

  • Candidates from DELSU JUPEB and CCEP programmes who have qualifying results.


🎯 Important Admission Instruction

Candidates who are willing to apply must ensure the new course they are switching to has a lower cut-off mark than their aggregate. Failure to follow this rule will lead to automatic disqualification.

Example:

  • Cut-off mark for Mass Communication = 76

  • Only candidates with 76 and above who were not admitted yet can switch to Mass Communication.

  • Those who scored below 76 cannot choose Mass Communication because they do not meet the minimum cut-off.


✅ Method of Application

Interested candidates must carefully follow the steps below to successfully apply:

Step 1: Change of Course on JAMB Portal

  • Visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre or use the JAMB CAPS portal.

  • Apply for Change of Course/Programme and choose a new available course in DELSU where your aggregate meets or exceeds the cut-off mark.

  • Make sure DELSU remains your institution of choice.

Step 2: Update Changes on DELSU Portal

  • Visit the Delta State University student portal:
    🔗 https://studentportal.delsu.edu.ng

  • Log in using your JAMB Registration Number.

  • Update your profile by selecting the new course chosen in step 1.

  • Save your changes and print the confirmation slip.

Step 3: Special Instructions for JUPEB & CCEP Candidates

  • Candidates applying from DELSU JUPEB or CCEP programmes must submit evidence of:

    • JAMB change of course (Step 1)

    • DELSU portal update (Step 2)

  • Submit documents to the Directors of JUPEB or CCEP Centres respectively for verification.


📌 Important Notes to All Applicants

  • ✅ The new selected course must have a lower cut-off mark than your aggregate score.

  • ✅ Candidates must meet the subject and O’level requirements of the new course.

  • Only candidates who follow all procedures correctly will be considered.

  • Priority will be given to candidates from DELSU JUPEB and CCEP programmes.


⏳ Application Deadline

🛑 Closing Date: Sunday, 19th October 2025
The university has made it clear that there will be no extension after the deadline. Candidates are strongly advised to act quickly to avoid missing this opportunity.


📚 Why Change of Course is Important

Many candidates every year lose admission opportunities simply because they select highly competitive courses like Law, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Mass Communication, and Computer Science without meeting the competitive cut-off marks. DELSU, however, has opened this change of course window to help applicants increase their chances of gaining admission by considering alternative but relevant programmes.

This move promotes fairness and access to higher education, ensuring no slot goes unused in departments with available spaces.


✅ Tips for Choosing a Better Course Option

Candidates should consider the following before making a change:

If You Applied For You Can Switch To
Medicine & Surgery Anatomy, Physiology, Nursing, Medical Biochemistry
Law Political Science, History & International Studies, Philosophy
Computer Science Information Systems, Mathematics, Cybersecurity
Accounting Banking & Finance, Business Administration, Marketing
Mass Communication English, Theatre Arts, Sociology
Pharmacy Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology
Nursing Health Education, Physiology, Human Anatomy

Choosing a course close to your original choice allows you to still build a career in your desired field.


📄 O’Level Requirements Reminder

Candidates must ensure their O’Level (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) meets:

  • A minimum of 5 credit passes including English Language and Mathematics.

  • Specific subject combinations required for the selected course.

  • Not more than two sittings are allowed.

Failing to meet these requirements will lead to disqualification even if your aggregate score is high.


✅ Final Instructions to Applicants

  • Print all documents after applying.

  • Check your email and JAMB CAPS regularly for admission updates.

  • Monitor your admission status under “Admission Status” on both DELSU and JAMB portals.

  • Accept your admission promptly once offered.


🎉 Final Note

The Change of Course/Programme opportunity by Delta State University, Abraka is a lifeline for many candidates who narrowly missed their dream course. Serious applicants should act immediately and follow the procedure without mistakes. Admission is still possible — do not give up!
