BUK Cut-Off Mark for All Courses: If you are seeking admission into Bayero University, Kano (BUK), it’s essential to know both the general and departmental cut-off marks for each program. This article will guide you on BUK’s cut-off marks and how to calculate them. Feel free to leave any questions in the comment section below after reading this post.
What is the BUK Departmental Cut-Off Mark?
The departmental cut-off marks for Bayero University, Kano (BUK) vary annually and by course. These marks are determined after the Post-UTME screening exercise and depend on factors such as the number of applicants, candidates’ performance, and the department’s capacity.
Each department has its unique cut-off mark, which is usually higher than the general cut-off set by JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board).
In cases where BUK doesn’t conduct a Post-UTME exam, the departmental cut-off will be based on the applicant’s JAMB score and O’level results.
Meeting or exceeding the departmental cut-off mark increases your chances of admission into the program of your choice.
Is the BUK Admission Merit List Transparent?
Yes, BUK’s merit list is completely transparent. Admission is based on merit, though applicants from certain educationally disadvantaged states may receive some considerations. If you exceed the departmental cut-off mark and meet all other requirements, you will be offered admission.
For the 2024/2025 academic session, the general BUK cut-off mark is set at 180, with specific departments requiring higher scores.

How to Calculate BUK Aggregate Cut-Off Mark
Calculating Bayero University Kano (BUK) aggregate cut-off mark follows a 50:50 weighting system. Your JAMB score counts for 50%, and your Post-UTME score makes up the remaining 50%. Your final aggregate is based equally on both exams.
BUK places a higher emphasis on the Post-UTME score. A good performance in the Post-UTME can significantly boost your aggregate score, even with a moderate JAMB score.
Steps to Calculate BUK Aggregate Score
You’ll need your JAMB and Post-UTME scores:
JAMB UTME Score: Scored out of 400
Post-UTME Score: Scored out of 100
- Divide your JAMB score by 8
- Divide your Post-UTME score by 2
- Add the results
Example Calculation
Using a sample scenario with:
- JAMB score: 248
- Post-UTME score: 86
- JAMB Score Calculation: 248 / 8 = 31
- Post-UTME Score Calculation: 86 / 2 = 43
- Aggregate Score: 31 (JAMB) + 43 (Post-UTME) = 74
- Final aggregate score: 74
This calculation helps you understand where you stand in meeting BUK’s cut-off criteria. Remember that performing well in your Post-UTME can significantly impact your overall score.
Note: You can also view your average score online through the BUK portal at www.buk.edu.ng.
