FUBK General Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027 Admission
The general cut-off mark for admission into the Federal University Birnin Kebbi (FUBK) for the 2026/2027 academic session is 150.
Candidates who scored at least 150 in the UTME may be considered for admission. However, every programme has its own approved cut-off mark under the Merit, ELDS and Catchment admission categories. Meeting the general cut-off mark alone does not guarantee admission into all courses.
Meaning of Merit, ELDS and Catchment Categories
FUBK uses three admission categories when determining eligibility for each programme.
- Merit: Admission based strictly on performance.
- ELDS: Refers to Educationally Less Developed States.
- Catchment: Refers to the geographical catchment area recognised by the university during the admission process.
Candidates should identify the category applicable to them before assessing their admission chances.

What to Do After Meeting the Required Cut-Off Mark
Candidates who meet the required departmental cut-off mark for their chosen programme should prepare for the next stage of the admission process.
The university will conduct a Post-UTME screening exercise, and candidates are advised to monitor the official FUBK Post-UTME announcements for registration details and important updates.
Documents Candidates Should Keep Ready
Before the Post-UTME registration begins, candidates should ensure they have the following documents readily available:
- O’Level result such as WAEC or NECO
- JAMB UTME result slip
- Post-UTME application form once it is released
Preparing these documents early will help candidates complete the registration process without unnecessary delays.
Can Candidates Change Their Course?
Candidates whose UTME scores fall below the approved cut-off mark for their preferred programme may consider changing to another course with a lower cut-off mark, provided they meet the admission requirements and follow the university’s approved procedure.
Applicants may also compare admission requirements and cut-off marks of other institutions before making a final decision.
Does Meeting the Cut-Off Mark Guarantee Admission?
No. Meeting the required departmental cut-off mark only makes a candidate eligible to be considered for admission.
Final admission will depend on successful participation in the Post-UTME screening exercise and the fulfilment of all other admission requirements prescribed by the university.
Why Candidates Should Prepare Early
Candidates are encouraged to monitor FUBK’s admission updates closely and begin preparing their documents well before the Post-UTME registration opens.
Waiting until the registration deadline may result in avoidable challenges such as delays in payment, document uploads, printing of acknowledgement slips, or verification of admission credentials.
