SLU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Sule Lamido University (formerly Jigawa State University) for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a university known for its peaceful environment and highly subsidized school fees for indigenes. Located in Kafin Hausa, Jigawa State, SLU is a favorite for students in the North-West. We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.

SLU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the SLU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 140.

Important Reality Check:

• The 140 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to be eligible for the Post-UTME screening. If you scored 140, you are eligible to register for most courses in the Faculties of Education and Humanities.

• The “Merit” Benchmark: While 140 gets you in the door, SLU is competitive for courses like Computer Science, Economics, and Islamic Studies. For these “Hot Cake” courses, a score of 140 puts you at the bottom of the list. You generally need a score of 170 to 180+ to be safe on the merit list.

• First Choice Policy: SLU generally requires you to choose them as your First Choice in JAMB to be eligible for screening.

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

One of the biggest advantages of SLU is its affordability, especially for Jigawa State indigenes.

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (100 Level):

• Indigenes (Jigawa State): ~₦30,000 – ₦40,000

  • Note: Jigawa State indigenes often enjoy a scholarship structure where they pay only a percentage of the total fee (e.g., 25%), with the State Scholarship Board covering the rest.

• Non-Indigenes: ~₦60,000 – ₦70,000

• Acceptance Fee: ~₦2,000 – ₦5,000 (Very affordable compared to other universities).

Does SLU Write Post UTME Exams?

No. SLU typically adopts an Online Screening Method.

1. Registration: You visit the portal (admissions.slu.edu.ng) and register.

2. Upload Credentials: You MUST upload your O’Level Result (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) and your JAMB slip.

3. Grading: The admission office evaluates your credentials. If you have the required Credits (including English and Maths) and the JAMB score, you are admitted.

4. Physical Verification: Once admitted, you will go to the campus in Kafin Hausa to present your original documents.

Important Admission Tips

1. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. SLU will not admit any candidate with “Awaiting Result” status on CAPS.

2. Indigene Certificate: If you are from Jigawa State, ensure you have a valid Indigene Certificate. This is your “ticket” to the subsidized school fees.

3. Change of Course: If you applied for Computer Science with a score of 145, you are unlikely to get it. However, SLU often allows you to switch to Education Computer Science or Mathematics, where your score is sufficient.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the SLU portal, hostel accommodation, or the specific requirements for Direct Entry, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
