Prospective applicants should review the Merit, ELDS, and Catchment cut-off marks for their chosen course carefully to confirm their eligibility before registering for the FUBK admission screening exercise. If your UTME score falls below your department's cut-off mark, consider changing to a less competitive programme on JAMB CAPS.

Prepare for your screening using the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.

Hello Aisha! Yes, FUBK sets separate cut-off marks for National Merit, ELDS, and Catchment states. Since Kebbi is in FUBK's Catchment area, the Catchment cut-off mark is lower than the 250 National Merit mark.
