First Batch Admission List: The Merit Trail
The first batch admission list is the merit list the crème de la crème of candidates who aced both their JAMB and Post UTME scores. This list is typically released first and includes:
- Candidates who selected SAZU as their first choice.
- Those who met or exceeded the departmental cut-off marks.
- Applicants with strong O’Level results uploaded on JAMB CAPS.
How to Check:
- Visit the SAZU Admission Portal.
- Log in with your application details.
- Alternatively, check your JAMB CAPS to confirm and accept your offer.
🎉 If your name appeared here, congrats you’re officially part of the SAZU family! But don’t relax just yet. You still need to complete physical screening, pay your acceptance fee, and print your JAMB admission letter.
Second Batch Admission List: The Hopeful Wave
The second batch list is for candidates who:
- Passed the Post UTME screening
- Met the minimum requirements but didn’t make the merit list
- May have had slight delays in uploading documents or verifying credentials
This list was released about three weeks after the first batch, and it’s a mix of:
- Competitive departments filling remaining slots
- Candidates with borderline scores who were reconsidered
Physical Screening:
- Starts: Monday, 8th September 2025
- Ends: Monday, 22nd September 2025
- Venue: Your program’s designated campus
Required Documents:
- SSCE result (original + photocopy)
- JAMB result slip
- Screening form
- Passport photographs
- Scratch card for result verification
⚠️ Don’t forget: You must upload your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS before attending screening. No upload, no clearance.
Supplementary & Final Lists: The Last Doors
If you didn’t make the first or second batch, don’t panic. SAZU often releases supplementary lists and VC’s discretionary lists to fill remaining spaces.
Who Gets In?
- Candidates who meet basic requirements but were overlooked due to space constraints
- Those who recently uploaded missing documents
- Applicants from less competitive departments
These lists are released gradually, often without prior notice. So keep checking:
- SAZU’s official portal
- Your JAMB CAPS dashboard
- SMS or email notifications from the university
💡 Tip: If your name appears on JAMB CAPS but not on the SAZU portal, accept the offer immediately. The school portal will update once your admission is confirmed by JAMB.
