Who should register

• UTME candidates who applied to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria for the 2026/2027 admission session.
• Direct Entry candidates seeking admission into ABU for the same session.

Registration start date

ABU's official notice states that registration for the 2026 UTME/DE screening exercise starts on Monday, July 6, 2026.

How to apply

1. Read the official ABU screening notice.

3. Log in with the required JAMB details and complete the screening form.
4. Pay only through the payment channel shown on the official portal.
5. Upload required documents and print the registration acknowledgement for your records.

Before submitting the form

• Confirm that your JAMB registration number, course choice, O'Level details, and contact information are correct.
• Check that your subject combination matches the programme you are applying for.
• Use a personal email address and phone number so that admission updates reach you directly.

For Direct Entry candidates

Direct Entry applicants should also complete the online screening process and upload the required credentials as directed by the ABU portal.

October screening update

ABU has asked candidates with missing screening results to check their O'Level entries. Uploading a certificate alone does not replace entering the grade for each subject. Candidates whose records still show Awaiting Results should correct the entries through the screening portal.

Candidates considering a programme change should check that their results meet the new programme's requirements. Registration and programme changes are subject to the university's screening and admission conditions.
