Official KASU Admission Guide 2026/2027

Official KASU Admission Guide 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Kaduna State University (KASU) for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are an indigene of “The Centre of Learning” or a student from another state, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, school fees, and the critical details about their Post-UTME screening.

KASU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Kaduna State University (KASU)—located in the heart of Kaduna city—you are choosing one of the fastest-growing state universities in the North. KASU is known for its modern facilities, especially in the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences. We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.

KASU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

Unlike many other state universities that accept 140 or 150, the school management of KASU has set a higher standard. The official and accepted KASU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 170.

Important Reality Check:

• The 170 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to purchase the Post-UTME form. If you score below 170, you are automatically disqualified from applying to KASU, regardless of your course.

• The “Professional” Benchmark: For highly competitive courses like Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy, a score of 170 is insufficient. You generally need a score of 220 to 250+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list.

• First Choice Policy: KASU is very strict. You MUST choose them as your First Choice in JAMB to be eligible for the screening.

KASU School Fees 2026/2027 (Indigene vs. Non-Indigene)

KASU operates a differential fee structure. Following recent policies, the fees are significant for non-indigenes compared to the highly subsidised rates for indigenes.

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (100 Level):

• Indigenes (Kaduna State Origin):

  • Fees: ~₦100,000 – ₦150,000 (Subject to government scholarship/review).

  • Note: The state government often provides scholarship schemes that drastically reduce this burden for verified indigenes.

• Non-Indigenes:

  • Fees: ~₦150,000 – ₦200,000+ (Full tuition).

• Acceptance Fee: ~₦30,000 (Non-refundable).

Does KASU Write Post UTME Exams?

Yes. Unlike many schools that have switched to online-only screening, KASU frequently conducts a Physical Computer-Based Test (CBT).

1. Registration: You register online (forms.kasu.edu.ng) and pay the screening fee (usually ₦2,000).

2. Examination: You will be required to print your slip, which will show your Exam Date, Time, and Venue (usually at the Main Campus in Kaduna).

3. Requirements: You are typically not allowed to bring phones or calculators into the exam hall.

4. Grading: Your admission is calculated based on your JAMB score and your Post-UTME score.

Important Admission Tips

1. Indigene Certificate: If you are from Kaduna State, your Indigene Certificate is your most valuable document after your JAMB result. It determines whether you pay “Indigene” fees or “Non-Indigene” fees. Ensure it is valid and from your LGA.

2. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. KASU will not admit you if this is missing.

3. Campus Location:

   • Kaduna Campus: Main hub (Sciences, Arts, Medicine, Pharm).

   • Kafanchan Campus: Agriculture and Environmental Sciences.
