Hausa is taught under the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Kaduna State University (KASU). The UTME stage is the demanding one here, pairing Hausa with Literature in English.
At O’Level and Direct Entry the conditions are far lighter. Only Hausa and English Language are named at secondary school level, and the second advanced level pass is unspecified.
Confirm that Hausa appears on the current KASU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination. A course entered in error cannot be assessed against these conditions.

The UTME Stage Is the Demanding One for KASU Hausa
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits which should include English Language and Hausa. The remaining three are entirely open, with no field restriction.
The UTME combination is where the course tightens. English Language is compulsory, Hausa and Literature in English are both fixed, and only the final slot allows a choice.
That final choice is between Economics, Government, History and Arabic. A candidate who has not prepared Literature in English will struggle at this stage despite meeting the O’Level line.
Direct Entry loosens again, asking for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in Hausa and any other relevant subjects, with relevance left undefined.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at KASU and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
