Northwest University (NWU) Announces Matriculation Date 2025

Northwest University, Kano will hold its 2024/2025 matriculation ceremony on Friday, 15 August 2025, at the Muhammadu Sunusi II Lecture Theatre, Main Campus. All new students are to attend in their academic gowns and be seated early. See full schedule below.

Matriculation day is one of those big markers in school life. It’s not just another Friday on the calendar, it’s the official welcome into the university family. For Northwest University, Kano, the date is set and the stage is ready.

Ceremony Details

Here’s what’s on the card:

  • Date: Friday, 15 August 2025
  • Venue: Muhammadu Sunusi II Lecture Theatre, Main Campus
  • Time: Ceremony starts at 9:00 am

But here’s the thing — students aren’t strolling in at nine. Every new student, along with their faculty officers, is expected to be seated by 8:00 am sharp. No excuses, no strolling in halfway.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just another assembly. It’s the day you take the matriculation oath, sealing your place as a student of the university. The management wants full attendance, and they’re not just saying it for formality.

Come in numbers, come looking the part. That means properly dressed in your academic gown, neat and ready for the occasion. This isn’t the time to forget your cap or leave your gown hanging at home.

Final Word

Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero KSUSTA
KSUSTA Departmental Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026

Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero has set 150 as the lowest UTME score for most courses in the 2025/2026 session, with higher marks for professional courses. Applicants must meet the cut-off for their chosen programme to be considered for screening. Read on for full list of scores and next steps.

If you have been eyeing Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, here’s the news fresh from the source. The school has called time on guessing games and put its cut-off marks on the table.

They are not sugar-coating it. 150 is the base number for most courses. Some climb higher, especially if you are going near medicine or engineering. Meeting it doesn’t mean you are admitted, but it puts your name in the hat.

A brief on KSUSTA

Tucked in Aliero since 2006, the school has quietly grown into its space. It’s not about flashy slogans or tall promises. Their strength is clear: science, agriculture, engineering, education. That’s where they play, and they play it steady.

It’s a place with heat in the air, red dust on your shoes, and a mix of old roofs and new ideas.

The cut-off marks

Here’s how they stand this year, split by faculty and course.

Bauchi State University, Gadau (BASUG)
SAZU (Formarly BASUG) Physical Screening Timetable 2025/2026

Sa’adu Zungur University has released its physical screening schedule and checklist for newly admitted students. If your name is on the merit list for 2025, this guide shows you what to bring and when to show up. Read closely so you do not miss a step.

So your name finally popped up on the admission list for Sa’adu Zungur University, Gadau? First of all, big congrats. That long wait paid off. But before you start telling the whole compound, there’s one more thing to face — physical screening.

The school has set the dates and the list of what you’ll need. And trust me, this isn’t the moment to forget your documents at home. Let’s take it from the top.

Screening Starts Soon

If you’re on the merit list, mark this down. The physical screening kicks off on Monday, 8th September 2025. It’ll run for two weeks and close on Monday, 22nd September 2025.

Where do you go? To the campus where your course lives. That’s where your department is based, so no need roaming to other campuses.

Not sure if your name made the list? You can check directly from the SAZU merit admission list. It’s better to be sure before planning the trip.

Things You Must Bring Along

Now, don’t arrive empty-handed or with half your documents. They will check. Twice, sometimes. So here’s what you need:

  • A printout of your O’Level (SSCE) result
  • Your JAMB result slip
  • Your online screening form
  • One passport photo (recent, not your primary school graduation picture, abeg)
  • A scratch card for verifying your WAEC or NECO result

Also, one thing many forget — before you even show up for the screening, your O’Level result must already be uploaded to the JAMB portal. If you haven’t done that, go to a JAMB-accredited centre fast. Without that upload, wahala fit enter.

After the Screening? Do These

So, let’s say the screening goes well (hopefully, no stories that touch). What next?

Give it a day or two, maybe three. Then:

Only candidates who’ve accepted their offer on JAMB CAPS will gain full access to the university’s portal. Basically, no CAPS acceptance, no complete admission. Simple.

University of Abuja (UNIABUJA)
UNIABUJA Post-UTME Pre-Admission Exercise 2025/2026

The University of Abuja is inviting Post-UTME candidates for a hybrid sensitisation session on 8 August 2025. This session will help candidates understand the admission process and speak directly with the Acting Vice-Chancellor. Keep reading to get all the details you need to attend.

So, I got wind of this and had to share. If you picked the University of Abuja as your first choice for the 2025/2026 admissions, listen well. The school is putting together something that might just save you from small wahala later.

They’re calling it a hybrid pre-admission sensitisation programme. Long name, yes, but the goal is simple: come and get the gist of how UNIABUJA handles admissions, ask your burning questions and get real-time answers. No secondhand info, no confusion.

Here’s the part I really like – you don’t even have to leave your house if you don’t want to. The session will happen both in-person and online. Whether you live close or you’re chilling far away, you can still show up.

And guess who will be there? The Acting Vice-Chancellor. Yep, the actual oga at the top. You’ll be hearing straight from her mouth, not from one random Twitter thread or confusing group chat.

Let’s be real, admission into uni these days no be beans. Between the forms, cut-offs and deadlines, something always finds a way to confuse person. That’s why this session matters. You’ll get to understand what’s expected, what to avoid and how to not mess up your chances before they even look at your scores.

So, where and when is it happening?

Mark your calendar:

  • Date: Friday, 8 August 2025
  • Time: 10 a.m
  • Venue: Faculty of Management Sciences Lecture Theatre, Main Campus
  • Online Link: Join the live meeting

Not sure how to join online? No stress. You’ll need these details:

  • Meeting number: 2341 542 2884
  • Password: eiCPSnUJ437

Set a reminder or alarm if you must. These things don’t come often.

Plateau College of Health Technology, Zawan CHT-ZAWAN
See PLASU Departmental Admission Cut-Off Marks for 2025/2026

Plateau State University has released its 2025/2026 departmental cut-off marks. This guide lists the required scores for each course and helps you figure out where you stand. Read through if PLASU is on your list.

So you’ve done the hard part — wrote the UTME, probably refreshed the JAMB portal more times than you’d admit, and now, you’re wondering if your score will get you into Plateau State University (PLASU). The school has finally released its departmental cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 academic session. No long story. Just raw numbers and what they mean for you.

If you’re eyeing Nursing or Mass Comm, brace yourself. If it’s Crop Production or Theatre Arts, you might breathe easier. Or maybe not. Let’s break it all down.

First, What Are Cut-Off Marks?

For those hearing about them for the first time, cut-off marks are like the score you need to meet — or beat — if you want to be considered for a course. Each department has its own, based on how many people apply and how competitive the course is.

Now, let’s look at the list.

College of Health Sciences

You probably guessed right — this faculty is tight.

  • Medical Laboratory Science – 230
  • Nursing Science – 230
  • Public Health – 210

College of Medicine

One course here, and it’s as high as you’d expect.

  • Medicine and Surgery – 230

College of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Also one course, also high.

  • Pharmacy – 230

Faculty of Agricultural Sciences

Good news if you’re into farming or agribusiness. The bar’s more friendly here.

  • Crop Production – 160
  • Animal Production – 160

Faculty of Arts

  • English Language – 160
  • History and International Studies – 160
  • Religious and Cultural Studies – 160
  • Theatre Arts – 180

So if you’re that dramatic soul who wants to act or direct, Theatre Arts might still give you a run.

Faculty of Environmental Sciences

  • Architecture – 160
  • Building – 160
  • Geography – 160

Faculty of Education

Whether it’s Maths, Biology or CRS, the cut-off is the same.

  • Biology Education – 160
  • Mathematics Education – 160
  • Chemistry Education – 160
  • Physics Education – 160
  • English Education – 160
  • Christian Religious Studies Education – 160

Faculty of Law

Not for the faint-hearted.

  • Law – 220

So if you’re planning to wear the wig and gown, better come prepared.

Faculty of Management Sciences

  • Accounting – 180
  • Management Studies – 160
  • Entrepreneurial Science – 170

Faculty of Natural and Applied Sciences

This one’s long, so take it slow.

  • Biochemistry – 180
  • Chemistry – 160
  • Computer Science – 170
  • Mathematics – 160
  • Microbiology – 170
  • Physics – 160
  • Plant Science and Biotechnology – 160
  • Zoology – 160
  • Statistics – 160
  • Information Technology – 160

If you’re into tech or science, there’s range here. Not every course hits 180.

Faculty of Social Sciences

This part is packed and fairly balanced.

So, What Next?

If your score matches or beats your chosen course’s cut-off, congrats, you’re on the safe side. But if you fall short, you might want to consider a change of course, or try again next year. Life no dey finish.

At the end of the day, cut-off marks don’t define you, but they do set the rules for the game. So play smart.

And if you’re still unsure or trying to choose between two departments, print this out, grab a biro, and start crossing out your options. It might help more than staring at the screen all day.
