How BUK Screening Score is Determined
Here are the factors BUK consider in pegging cut off points for admission:
- Number of applicants applying for admission.
- The available BUK admission quota
- General JAMB and BUK Post-UTME screening performances
- BUK admission policy also plays a role in determining departmental cut-off marks.
Additional Information
- If your JAMB score is below 180, you are Not Eligible for BUK 2025 Post UTME screening form.
- Meeting JAMB and BUK aggregate is necessary, but additional requirements are essential for admission consideration.
- If you want to study Law, Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, or other BUK competitive courses, you must score 180+ in your UTME, because these courses have higher cut-off marks.
