Kashim Ibrahim University (KIU) Kano and Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria have both announced their requirements, and it&#8217;s crucial you understand the deadlines and scoring formula to secure your spot. Let me walk you through everything you need to know right now.<\/p>\n\n<h2>KIU Kano Post-UTME Requirements &amp; Deadline<\/h2>\n\n<p>Kashim Ibrahim University has reopened its screening portal for the 2026\/2027 academic session. Here&#8217;s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minimum JAMB Score:<\/strong> 150<\/li>\n<li><strong>Application Deadline:<\/strong> Sunday, 18th October 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who Should Apply:<\/strong> Candidates who selected KIU as their first choice institution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t completed your screening yet, now is the time to act. The deadline is fast approaching, so don&#8217;t delay your registration on the JAMB portal. <a href=\"#\" class=\"internal-link-placeholder\" data-topic=\"JAMB registration guide\">JAMB registration guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2>ABU Zaria Post-UTME Aggregate Score Formula<\/h2>\n\n<p>ABU Zaria uses a specific calculation method for ranking candidates. Your final admission score isn&#8217;t based on JAMB alone\u2014it&#8217;s a combination of your JAMB score plus points from your O&#8217;Level results.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How the Aggregate Score is Calculated<\/h3>\n\n<p>The formula used by ABU is: <strong>{JAMB Score} + {Post-UTME Score}<\/strong>. However, the institution also factors in <strong>points awarded for your 5 core O&#8217;Level subjects<\/strong>. This means your secondary school grades still matter significantly in the admission process.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2>What This Means for You<\/h2>\n\n<p>Therefore, to increase your chances of admission, you should:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure your JAMB score is at least 150 (higher is better)<\/li>\n<li>Compile your O&#8217;Level results showing your best 5 core subjects<\/li>\n<li>Complete the Post-UTME screening before the deadline<\/li>\n<li>Double-check all your personal information before submission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JAMBLATESTUPDATE\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">JAMB CAPS went live on September 30, 2026<\/a>, and many universities have already begun uploading their admission lists. This means the process is moving fast, and delays could cost you.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"faq-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"faq-question\">What is the minimum JAMB score needed for KIU Kano 2026\/2027?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">The minimum JAMB score for KIU Kano&#8217;s Post-UTME screening is 150.
