Founded in 1988, ATBU Bauchi is one of the over 170 NUC approved Universities in Nigeria.
Every year, tens of thousands of students apply to gain admission into ATBU; however, only a few end up achieving that feat.
What disqualifies several students is the annual cut-off mark the institution sets for all UTME candidates; several applicants don’t meet up with the score and, as a result, will be qualified to write post UTME and gain admission.
