Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria Post UTME Result 2026/2027: As an education consultant who has closely monitored the growth of the Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN), Kano, I can tell you that this institution offers a unique, internationalized learning experience right here in Nigeria. MAAUN is known for its streamlined, technology-driven admission process that focuses on efficiency.
Here is your detailed guide for the MAAUN 2026/2027 admission cycle.
What is the MAAUN Post-UTME?
Unlike many public universities in Nigeria that conduct rigorous physical examinations, MAAUN typically uses a Screening and Documentation process.
Why is it important? This exercise allows the university to verify that your academic credentials align with international standards. Since MAAUN is a private university with an American-style curriculum, they prioritize the quality of your O’Level results and your readiness for a digital learning environment.
Eligibility Requirements
To be considered for the 2026/2027 session, you should meet the following:
-
JAMB Cut-off Mark: A minimum of 160 is generally required. For highly competitive programs like Nursing, Law, and Software Engineering, a score of 180–200+ is recommended.
-
Choice of Institution: While it is best to choose MAAUN as your First Choice, the university often considers candidates who did not originally choose them, provided they perform a “Change of Institution” on the JAMB portal.

Direct Entry (DE): Applicants must have a minimum of Lower Credit at ND/HND or a good grade in NCE/IJMB/A-Levels.
Screening Format: Online Upload
MAAUN currently utilizes an Online Screening format.
