Admission routes into BUK programmes

Route	How
UTME (100 level / ND I / NCE I)	JAMB UTME 2026 + BUK screening
Direct Entry (200 level / HND)	JAMB DE registration + ND/HND/NCE/IJMB/JUPEB/A-level
Part-time / Sandwich / Postgraduate	Apply directly on the school portal (not JAMB)

Verify before you pay or act: Accreditation status changes; a programme may be suspended or newly approved in any session. The only authoritative source for BUK is buk.edu.ng and the school’s official notice boards. If a figure here differs from what the school publishes, the school is right.
