AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA ISSUES IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS OF THE 2026/2027 ACADEMIC SESSION

Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has issued an update on the registration for the 2026 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise, urging candidates to log in to the Post-UTME portal and check their screening status.

According to the university’s Special Bulletin dated Wednesday, August 19, 2026, candidates who have been successfully screened will see a confirmation that their results have been screened. However, candidates whose results were not screened may have encountered issues with their uploaded information.

ABU listed several reasons why a candidate’s result may not have been screened. These include failure to upload a scanned copy of the O’Level result after entering the grades, discrepancies between the entered grades and the uploaded result, uploading unnecessary documents such as examination cards or JAMB registration slips, and incorrect JAMB or O’Level subject combinations.

Other issues include major deficiencies in O’Level results, having results from two sittings but uploading only one, uploading handwritten O’Level results instead of a printout from the relevant examination body, and uploading incomplete, squeezed or faded results that are not legible.

The university advised candidates with any of these anomalies to return to their portal and correct them immediately, warning that their admission may not be processed if the issues are not resolved.

ABU also warned candidates who used their email addresses instead of their JAMB registration numbers during screening registration to re-register, as such previous registrations are considered invalid.

Candidates with wrong UTME or O’Level subject combinations were advised to change to appropriate programmes. The university further urged candidates and café operators to ensure that all information submitted is captured and uploaded accurately.

Candidates who have not yet registered their O’Level results were advised to do so immediately to enable the university to process their admission applications. Those whose results have not yet been released should wait until their results are available.

For enquiries, candidates can contact the university on 07076806821, 08111465297, or 09020017135.
