I once attended a seminar in Kano and our venue was the main auditorium of the Bayero University Kano. Before the seminar started I looked around my environment and did a quick assessment of
After my assessment of the institution I agreed within the school, from what I could see, I was really impressed, but being someone who isn’t easily impressed by sight alone, I did some more digging into the school and what I found out impressed me even more.me that this was a school I would recommend to anybody be it friend or foe.
But what does an aspirant need to know before applying to study at the BayeroUniversity in Kano? That information is what I captured in this article.
The first thing an aspirant should know about a school he or she is about to apply for is whether such school offers the course such an applicant wants to study.
After determining that such a course is being offered, the aspirant should then determine the O’Level requirements to study such course and also the required Jamb cut-off mark.
The aspirant also has to know how the post-utme of the school is being conducted etc.
I captured all this with respect to BAYERO UNIVERSITY KANO(BUK) in this short article.
