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.

Date and Venue for Screening
The physical screening exercise will take place from:
📅 Monday, 20th October 2025
to
📅 Friday, 24th October 2025

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.

This screening exercise provides an opportunity for the institution to verify and authenticate the documents and details submitted by candidates during their online application and JAMB registration process. It is also a final step before the official release of the admission list for successful applicants.
🎓 Purpose of the Physical Screening
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:
-
JAMB Admission Letter (if available)
-
JAMB Result Slip showing the candidate’s score and choice of institution
-
O’Level Results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) – must include five (5) credits, including English Language and Mathematics
-
Birth Certificate or Age Declaration
-
Local Government Identification Letter
-
Post-UTME Acknowledgment/Screening Slip
-
Recent Passport Photographs
-
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:
-
Arrive early: It’s best to be at the venue before 9:00 am to avoid long queues.
-
Dress appropriately: Appear decently dressed. Remember, you are representing yourself as a prospective ATBU student.
-
Organize your documents: Arrange all credentials in a clear file, separating originals and photocopies for easy access.
-
Avoid proxy representation: Candidates must appear in person. No one can attend the screening on behalf of another.
-
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.

View AllMaths, 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.

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 who meet the O’Level requirements of their newly selected programme.
-
Candidates from DELSU JUPEB and CCEP programmes who have qualifying results.

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.

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.

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.
