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 minimum score of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
The 180 decides eligibility for the screening exercise rather than admission. Candidates who clear it still face that stage.

The Ordinary Level condition will stop very few candidates, naming only English Language and leaving the rest to any Arts subjects.
In JAMB the picture changes, because Literature in English is named outright while the other two papers are described only as relevant.
