Benue State University (BSUM) has finally put out the admission list for the 2025/2026 school year. The list is a compilation of candidates who met the university's criteria, beating the cut off mark of their applied course of study.
Candidates should also keep in mind that the university drops these names in different batches. They usually start with the merit list, and then they release a few extra batches afterwards. If you don't see your name right away, don't sweat it, as long as you hit the required cut off score, there is still a good chance you will be included in one of the upcoming updates.
