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.
What are the Direct Entry requirements?
Direct Entry candidates must hold one of the accepted qualifications in a relevant discipline or subject area.
Accepted qualifications include:
- OND
- HND
- First Degree
- A' level
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.
How can candidates apply for SAZU Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening?
Candidates should apply through the SAZU online screening portal.
The process starts with account activation, then login, payment and confirmation of details.

- Visit the SAZU online screening portal.

How to log in to the SAZU screening portal
After account activation, candidates should log in with the phone number used during registration.
The phone number serves as both the username and password.

How much is the SAZU screening fee?
The SAZU screening fee is ₦2,000.
The fee is non-refundable.
Candidates should confirm their details on the portal before choosing a payment method, because SAZU will not accept liability for payments made with wrong JAMB details.
What should candidates check before payment?
Candidates should review their personal details, JAMB registration number, course choice and uploaded results before payment.
A small error can create a larger problem later.
Before paying, candidates should check that:

- The phone number is valid and active
- The JAMB registration number is correct
- O'level results have been uploaded on JAMB CAPS
- Direct Entry results have been uploaded where required

The university also states that it will not be liable for any fraudulent payment made outside its stated directives.
What happens if a candidate does not register online?
A candidate who does not register online will not be involved in the screening exercise.
This means eligible candidates must complete the online process, not just meet the UTME score or Direct Entry requirement.
