Christian Religious Studies (CRS) sits under the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Kaduna State University. This page sets out what the department expects from an applicant, covering the O’Level credits, the UTME subject combination, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score you need.
Before you pay for JAMB registration, confirm that CRS actually appears on the KASU list of courses for the session you are applying into. Candidates lose a whole admission cycle by selecting a course the institution does not run, and a wrong choice at registration is awkward to undo.
The requirements below are worth reading as one set rather than in isolation. A candidate who meets the UTME subject combination but falls short on the five SSC credits will not scale screening, and the same applies in reverse for a Direct Entry applicant without the right A Level or NCE passes.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation was a consequence of the obvious and felt need to boost higher education in the State and the country in general.

JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into KASU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a score of a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
What KASU Christian Religious Studies Applicants Should Check First
The CRS requirement at Kaduna State University rests on four checks. You need five SSC credit passes that include English Language and CRS, a UTME combination built around CRS with English Language compulsory, and a JAMB score of at least 180 to be eligible for screening.
Direct Entry candidates are assessed differently. Two A Level passes or an NCE will be considered, but CRS or Religious Studies must be one of them. An NCE in an unrelated subject area does not satisfy the department, so check your certificate against that condition before applying.
Keep in mind that 180 is the eligibility floor for screening, not a guarantee of a place. Competition within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities decides the rest, so treat a higher score as the practical target. This page is updated whenever Kaduna State University revises the requirement.
