Federal University, Gusau Zamfara: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
Federal University, Gusau Zamfara (FUGUS) is a Federal university located in Gusau, Zamfara, established in 2013. It offers the 9 programmes listed below. The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ FUGUS's only genuine online channels are its official admission/student portal (ugs.fugusau.edu.ng) and Post-UTME screening portal (putme.fugusau.edu.ng) — pay screening or acceptance fees ONLY via the Remita RRR generated there. The university's main website www.fugusau.edu.ng has been compromised — its footer has been injected with betting/gambling and adult-content spam links, so we are not linking it here; do not click any such links if you visit it directly. Ignore Facebook/WhatsApp "agents" or blogs offering to "process" FUGUS admission for a fee — no such service exists; admission is JAMB-score and portal-based only.

Sit JAMB UTME and make FUGUS your first choice. The JAMB cut-off is set per department/course each admission cycle (not a single fixed figure) — the national minimum is 150, but departmental cut-offs are often higher, and Medicine and Surgery is historically among the highest — confirm the current figure on the official portal before applying. After JAMB, register for Post-UTME screening at putme.fugusau.edu.ng, pay the screening fee via Remita RRR, and upload your O'level results to JAMB CAPS.

The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150. This is the lowest score to be considered; the college also runs its own entrance examination, and departments frequently set higher cut-offs, so always confirm the current mark for your course with the school.
How to Apply
Apply via JAMB UTME, selecting Federal University Gusau (FUGUS) as your first choice. After JAMB, check your admission/screening status on the university's official student portal (ugs.fugusau.edu.ng) and register for Post-UTME screening at putme.fugusau.edu.ng — pay the screening fee only via the Remita RRR generated on the official portal.
