BUK Departmental Cut-Off Marks for 2025/2026 Released

BUK has released the cut-off marks for 2025 admissions. This guide explains what those numbers mean, what to do if you missed your mark, and how to stay ready. Read to the end so you don’t miss anything.

BUK finally dropped the cut-off marks. The tension had been thick, and now it’s clearer — sort of.

Some scores will make you shout, some will leave you confused, and others might straight-up break your heart. A 160? That’s doable. A 240? Well, that one is for the warriors.

I remember staring at mine back in the day. I passed, but not by much. Just enough to breathe again. These numbers, they don’t care how many sleepless nights you had. They just sit there, staring back, and deciding who gets a seat and who doesn’t. Cruel but true.

What Cut-Off Marks Actually Mean

They’re not guesses. They’re not pity scores. BUK looks at past results, how many people applied, how many they can admit, and then they pick numbers that’ll filter the crowd.

Sometimes the score for a course goes up with no explanation. Last year, Nursing needed 200. This year? Boom, it’s 220. No warning, no “dear student” note. Just vibes and a sharp increase.

So if your score didn’t reach the number next to your course, it’s not a debate. You’re out for that course. The only option? Regroup.

If you’re unsure how to start screening, check out how to apply for BUK Post UTME screening. It’ll save you stress.

BUK Post UTME Admission Form form 2025/2026 Out

BUK’s online screening for 2025 admission runs from 30th September to 1st December. If you chose the university as your first choice and scored up to your course cut-off, you’re eligible. This article walks you through the full process, step-by-step.

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.
