Bayero University Kano (BUK) has opened its change of institution portal for prospective students. This guide is for candidates who initially applied to another university but now wish to change their institution to Bayero University Kano for the upcoming academic session. The most important action you should take is to carefully review the requirements and follow the application process on the official BUK portal.
About Bayero University Kano Change of Institution
Bayero University Kano offers a pathway for students who have already applied to other tertiary institutions through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to switch their choice to BUK. This process is managed by JAMB and requires specific steps to be completed correctly. It is essential for candidates to understand that this is not a direct application to BUK but a formal change of institution request through the JAMB portal.
Who Can Change Institution to BUK?
To be eligible to change your institution to Bayero University Kano, you must have participated in the JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or Direct Entry registration. You must also meet the specific admission requirements for the course you intend to study at BUK. Candidates should ensure that their UTME subject combination aligns with the requirements of their desired program at Bayero University Kano.
How to Change Institution to Bayero University Kano
The process for changing your institution to Bayero University Kano is conducted through the JAMB portal.
Step 1: Obtain a JAMB Change of Institution Slip
First, you need to visit an accredited JAMB registration centre or a JAMB approved Computer Based Test (CBT) centre. Inform the centre operator that you wish to change your institution to Bayero University Kano. You will be required to provide your JAMB registration number and specify BUK as your new institution.
Step 2: Pay the Required Fee
There is a fee associated with the JAMB change of institution process. The exact amount is determined by JAMB and is subject to change. You will need to pay this fee at the accredited centre.
Step 3: Update Your Course (If Necessary)
If you are also changing your preferred course at Bayero University Kano, you can do this at the same time you change your institution. Ensure you confirm the correct course code and name for your desired program at BUK.
Step 4: Confirm the Change
After the process is completed at the centre, you will receive a JAMB change of institution slip. This slip will show your updated details, including Bayero University Kano as your new institution. It is crucial to keep this slip safe as it serves as proof of your change.
Official JAMB Portal for Change of Institution
The change of institution process is exclusively managed by JAMB. Therefore, you must use the official JAMB portal or an accredited centre for this procedure.
