SAZU 3rd Batch Admission List 2026/2027 Is Out: How to Check Your Name, Screening Requirements, Courses and Cut-Off Marks
SAZU 3rd Batch Admission List 2026/2027 Is Out
If you have been typing "SAZU admission list" into Google every few hours this week, you can relax a little now. Sa'adu Zungur University, Bauchi State, formerly known as Bauchi State University, Gadau, has released its Third Batch admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session. That restless checking you have been doing is not wasted energy, it is what every serious candidate does. Let me walk you through exactly what this list means, what you must do next, and everything about the university's courses and cut-off marks, so you are not left guessing at any stage.
SAZU Third Batch Admission List: What You Need to Know
The university has announced that shortlisted candidates on the Third Batch list are to report for physical screening beginning Monday, 28th September 2026, at the specific campus where their chosen programme is domiciled. This physical screening exercise closes on Friday, 9th October 2026, so there is a firm window here and it is not a wide one. If your name appears on this list, treat the screening date as a real deadline, not a suggestion.
After Screening: Securing Your Admission
Passing physical screening is a major step, but it is still not the finish line. Here is what comes next, in order:
- Two to three days after a successful screening, lo in to your JAMB portal to accept and print your JAMB Admission Letter.
- Only after you have accepted your admission on JAMB will you be able to access and complete your admission process on the SAZU portal.
- Keep your printed admission letter and result slip safe, you will need them repeatedly during registration, clearance, and hostel allocation.
I want to stress this because I have seen it trip up capable students before: your SAZU admission is not truly secured until it reflects and is accepted on JAMB CAPS. Treat both platforms, the school portal and JAMB, as equally important, not one as a formality after the other.
A Quick Word on Sa'adu Zungur University
Sa'adu Zungur University sits in Bauchi State and operates across multiple campuses, with Gadau serving as its administrative and academic hub. Since its establishment, the institution has grown from a state university with a modest programme list into a multi-faculty institution offering courses across agriculture, arts, basic medical sciences, pure sciences, management sciences, and social sciences. It also runs a School of Basic and Remedial Studies for candidates who need an academic bridge, and conversion programmes for HND holders moving into a Bachelor's degree track.
SAZU Courses, Requirements and Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027
Below is a breakdown of the university's major undergraduate offerings by faculty, along with the general admission guidance for each. As with every Nigerian university, individual departmental cut-offs can be adjusted from session to session, so treat the figures here as your working guide and always confirm your specific department's exact figure on the official SAZU admission portal before you finalise any decision.

How to Check Your Name on the SAZU Admission Lists
SAZU has released its lists in stages, and you can check any of them depending on when you applied or when your batch was processed:
- To check the Third Batch list, visit https://sazu.edu.ng/archives/2342
- To check the Second Batch list, visit https://sazu.edu.ng/archives/2281
- To check the Merit List, visit https://sazu.edu.ng/archives/2249
Open the relevant link, locate your name or registration number on the published list, and take a screenshot or printout once you confirm your status. Do not assume that missing one batch means you have missed admission entirely. SAZU, like most Nigerian universities, releases its list in rounds as departments confirm available slots, so candidates are advised to check every batch that gets published.
What to Carry for Physical Screening
This is the part many candidates underestimate, and it is where avoidable mistakes happen. Shortlisted candidates must appear in person with both originals and photocopies of the following:
- Computer printout of your SSCE result (WAEC or NECO, whichever applies)
- JAMB Result slip
- Online Screening Form, printed from the SAZU portal
- A recent passport photograph
- Scratch card for verification of your O'Level result
Beyond these physical documents, there is one online step you cannot afford to skip. You must upload your O'Level result on the JAMB portal at any JAMB accredited centre before you travel for screening. Arriving at the venue without this done, assuming you can sort it out later, is one of the most common reasons candidates get turned back or delayed unnecessarily. Handle it before you set out.
What Comes After Registration
Once your admission is fully confirmed on both JAMB and the SAZU portal, expect to receive invoices for acceptance fees, registration, and other charges. Pay strictly through the official channels indicated on your personalised invoice, and keep every payment receipt. Watch out too for orientation dates and course registration windows, which the university typically communicates through the same portal you have been checking.
Final Word
For accuracy that no blog article can substitute, always verify your admission status, screening schedule, and cut-off details directly on the official Sa'adu Zungur University website at https://sazu.edu.ng and confirm your JAMB CAPS status at https://www.jamb.gov.ng. These two portals carry the final word on anything concerning your admission.
You have made it through JAMB, through the merit list checking, through waiting for batch after batch. That kind of persistence matters more than people give it credit for. If your name is on this Third Batch list, prepare your documents early and arrive at screening ready, not rushed. If it is not there yet, keep watching for the next update rather than assuming the worst. Congratulations to everyone whose name has been called, and patience to everyone still holding on.
