Who can apply for SAZU Post-UTME?

SAZU accepts applications from UTME candidates who chose the university as their first choice and met the required score.

The required UTME score is 150 or above.

Candidate type Requirement
UTME candidate Must choose SAZU as first choice and score 150 or above
UTME candidate who did not choose SAZU first Must score 150 or above and change to SAZU through a JAMB CBT centre
Direct Entry candidate Must hold OND, HND, First Degree or A' level in relevant disciplines and subjects

Candidates who scored below 150 do not meet the stated requirement.

Can candidates who did not choose SAZU first still apply?

Yes. Candidates who did not choose Sa'adu Zungur University, Bauchi State as their first choice can still apply if they scored 150 or above.

They must visit a JAMB CBT centre and change to SAZU before completing the screening process.

This step matters because SAZU will screen candidates based on the details linked to their JAMB record; a wrong school choice can affect the process.

Direct Entry candidates must hold one of the accepted qualifications in a relevant discipline or subject area.

Accepted qualifications include:

Direct Entry candidates must also upload their A' level results on JAMB CAPS, along with any required O'level details.

When does SAZU online screening start?

SAZU online screening registration starts on Monday, 1 June 2026.

Candidates should complete the process online and ensure that their details match their JAMB record before making payment.

A wrong JAMB registration number can lead to payment issues and SAZU states that it will not be liable for payment made with a wrong JAMB registration number.

What must candidates do before SAZU screening?

Candidates must ensure that their O'level results are uploaded on JAMB CAPS.

Direct Entry candidates must also upload their A' level results where required.

SAZU states that candidates who do not register online will not take part in the screening exercise, so online registration is not optional.
