Quick Look at SSU

SSU has been around since 2009, tucked in the calm heat of Sokoto. It’s grown over time, slowly but steadily. The school offers plenty of courses, from Arabic to Computer Science. Students from the North and beyond head there yearly, hoping to bag their degrees without wahala.

Understanding the Cut-Off Mark Talk

Here’s the simple idea: every course at SSU has a minimum score you need before they even look at your file. The scores fall into three groups:

  • Merit: This one’s for folks outside Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara.
  • ELDS: That’s for Kebbi and Zamfara candidates.
  • Catchment: Reserved mostly for Sokoto indigenes.

Now, let’s get into the scores.

So You Made the Cut, What Next?

Alright, if you hit the mark, it’s not yet time to relax. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  1. Prepare for Post UTME
  2. Watch Out for the Application Portal
    The SSU Post UTME form should be out soon. Check their official website often or keep your ears open in student circles.
  3. Sort Your Documents
    O’level, UTME result, state of origin, passport photo, and all that. Keep them ready. You don’t want to start running helter-skelter when it’s time to upload.

No lie, admission wahala no easy. But with the right info, it’s not as hard as it looks.
