Post UTME and Direct Entry Screening

NAUB conducts a screening exercise for both UTME and Direct Entry candidates. Details about the screening, including dates and requirements, will be published on the official university portal.

Candidates are advised to regularly check updates on the NAUB website to stay informed about the screening process.
