A UTME candidate, Iorchir Humphrey, has asked whether it is possible to gain admission into Bayero University, Kano (BUK) to study Mass Communication with a JAMB score of 189.
Mass Communication is a highly competitive course in most Nigerian universities, and Bayero University is no exception. Over the years, the cut-off mark for Mass Communication at BUK has typically ranged between 200 and 220, depending on the number of applicants and available slots.
With a score of 189, it may be difficult to secure admission into Mass Communication directly at BUK unless there are changes in the departmental cut-off or the candidate qualifies for special consideration (such as indigene quota or catchment area advantage).
However, all hope is not lost. Here are a few options to consider:
- Change of Course: You can apply for a less competitive course within the same faculty or university.
- Change of Institution: Consider institutions with lower cut-off marks for Mass Communication.
- Await Departmental Cut-off: Wait until BUK officially releases its departmental cut-off marks before making any decision.
Candidates are also advised to keep an eye on the JAMB CAPS portal for admission updates and to regularly check the official website of Bayero University for announcements.
For now, 189 may not be enough for Mass Communication at BUK, but with the right strategy, admission is still possible in other related fields.
