Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Nursing at BUK determined?
The cut-off mark is set annually by BUK based on factors such as the number of applicants, the overall performance in UTME, and the university’s capacity. It serves as the minimum UTME score required to be considered for admission into the Nursing programme. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark?
The official cut-off mark for BUK Nursing is released on the JAMB CAPS portal and the BUK admissions website. Always verify the figure from these official sources, as it may change each year. - What happens if I score below the cut-off mark?
If your UTME score is below the cut-off mark, you will not be eligible for admission into BUK Nursing for that year. You may consider other courses with lower cut-offs, change institution, or attempt to improve your score in the next UTME.
Remember that the cut-off mark is just one requirement; you must also meet the O’Level credit requirements in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, visit the JAMB CAPS portal and the official Bayero University, Kano website.
