Are you planning to apply for admission to the Federal University Birnin-Kebbi (FUBK) for the academic year 2025/2026?

One of the most important requirements for admission to FUBK is to meet the official JAMB cut off mark and departmental cut off score for your chosen course.

You'll find everything you need to know about the FUBK cut off mark for 2025/2026, including a full list of departmental cut off marks and admission requirements below.

FUBK JAMB Cut Off Marks 2025/2026

The FUBK cut off mark serves as the admissions benchmark. Any student who does not meet the cut off mark requirement is advised to continue looking for universities with cut off marks in the range of their JAMB score.

Aspirants should aim higher than the assigned cut off mark, given the large number of candidates who want admission into a particular course. Aiming above the 150 cut off mark with at least 50 JAMB points helps secure their admission spot.
