How to Check BUK Admission List 2026/2027:- Getting admission into Bayero University Kano (BUK) is a big dream for many candidates, especially those who wrote JAMB UTME and participated in the school’s Post-UTME screening. The admission process usually starts a few weeks after the screening exercise, and knowing how to check your admission status is very important.
This guide will show you whether BUK has released the 2026/2027 admission list, how to check it, and what to do after checking — whether you are admitted or not. The steps are simple and beginner-friendly, even if it’s your first admission check.
Has BUK Released Admission List for 2026/2027?
As of now, BUK has not officially released the admission list for the 2026/2027 academic session. However, the list is usually released in batches — JAMB CAPS, school portal, and sometimes on the BUK notice board. Candidates are advised to keep checking regularly so they don’t miss updates.
