About Yobe State University
Yobe State University (YSU) is a state-owned university located in Damaturu, Yobe State, in North-East Nigeria. It runs undergraduate programmes across the College of Medical Sciences and the Faculties of Agriculture, Arts, Education, Law, Science, and Social and Management Sciences, and is accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
YSU’s Post-UTME/DE screening is fully online and cut-off marks are set per programme rather than a single flat score, which means your eligibility depends on the specific course you applied for — not just the university’s general minimum.
