Bayero University, Kano has set the ball rolling. The online screening form for the 2025/2026 admission season is now out.
If you’re hoping to join BUK this year, don’t wait till the last minute. Deadlines creep up fast.
From 30th September to 1st December 2024, candidates who picked BUK as their first choice in JAMB can register online. But there’s more to it than just clicking a few buttons.
Are You Eligible?
You must have picked BUK as your first choice in the 2025 UTME. That part is not negotiable.
Then check your score. BUK doesn’t have one general cut-off for all courses. They broke it down by faculty, and some courses are tighter than others.
A few are chill — asking for 160. Some are a bit more demanding. Others? Let’s just say they don’t play.
Let’s go through them.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply BUK Post UTME
Let me walk you through it. It’s online, not hard, but don’t rush.
Step 1: Go to the Website
Start from the BUK website. On the homepage, look for “2025 UTME Online Screening Exercise.” That’s your first click.
Step 2: Login With Your JAMB Details
Type in your JAMB registration number as username. Use your UTME aggregate score as password.
Once you’re in, fill the form carefully. Your photo from JAMB will stick with you till graduation, so no drama there.
Step 3: Pay Your ₦2,000 Screening Fee
After filling the form, you’ll get a Personalised Payment Invoice (PPI). This comes with a Remita code.
You can:
- Pay online (ATM card, internet banking)
- Or print the invoice and take it to any commercial bank
If you pay online, your acknowledgement slip shows up immediately.
If you pay at the bank, come back to the site, hit “check your payment”, then print the slip. Don’t skip that part. Many people forget and start panicking later.
