What Does Cut off Mark Really Mean?

 

You want to know what cut off mark means?, don’t worry, I will explain in a way you will understand.

Cut off mark simply means a certain mark which candidates are expected not to score below if they want to be admitted for the particular year in view.

For example, if BUK sets its JAMB cut off mark as 300, then any student who scores below 300 should automatically start thinking of other options.

Generally, in cut off marks, you are expected to score above or get the exact cut off mark but you will agree with me that it is risky hanging on a knife’s edge.

I hope you now quite understand what cut off mark means right?

BUK Minimum JAMB Score Requirement To Get Admitted

 

This is to inform all prospective students of Bayero University, Kano (BUK) that the minimum Institutional cut-off marks for 2022/2023 session remain 180, however, the cut-off marks for some programmes vary as follows;

How Does BUK do their Screening?

The Bayero University, Kano admission board calculates each candidate/applicant’s aggregate score by adding their UTME score with the Post UTME score. Your JAMB and Post UTME score is the sole factors that will determine your admission fate, including using the perfect Subject Combinations for your course.

When selecting candidates for admission, the BUK admission board choose candidates with the highest scores for admission, and this means that the higher your JAMB / Post UTME score, the higher your chance of getting admitted.

Finally, you should know that reaching the BUK cut off mark doesn’t guarantee admission. Scoring the exact cut off point does not mean you’ll be admitted. Rather, your admission status depends on the performance of other candidates who chose the same course as you.

For example, if your choice is Medicine and you scored 250, But hundreds of other candidates who selected the same course (Medicine) have higher scores, you may not be admitted into BUK.

After seeing all of BUK’s departmental cut off marks for the year , the next important question to ask is How BUK do their screening.

Basically, the Bayero University, Kano does its admission screening in two phases.

The first phase involves aspirants who applied to study in BUK proceeding for the pre-screening exercise immediately it is being announced.

Usually, during this first phase, only two major documents are needed i.e SSCE Result and JAMB Registration print out.

However, as a note of warning, all candidates are advised to go their pre-screening venues or centers 30 minutes before time to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Finally, the second phase then comes along immediately you have been admitted into BUK to study any choice of course. However, at the second phase, you need to do proper screening and the documents usually needed include;

Birth Certificate or Age Declaration

Certificate of Local Government of Origin

Original copies of your credentials (certificates and statements of result)

Letter of good conduct from your village head or any responsible member of your community/or civil servant not below grade level 10 or equivalent in the private sector.
