To answer your question directly: Yes, you can gain admission into Bayero University Kano (BUK) for Law with that subject combination, but there are some important details you need to know.
1. JAMB Subject Combination
For Law, the mandatory JAMB subject is Use of English. The other three should generally be Arts or Social Science subjects.
Your Combination: English, Literature-in-English, Islamic Studies, and Hausa.
Status: This is valid. Literature is highly required (and often compulsory) for Law in most Nigerian universities, and Islamic Studies and Hausa are recognized elective Arts subjects.
2. BUK Specific Requirements
BUK is unique because it offers two types of Law degrees:
Common Law (LL.B): Focuses on civil and international law.
Common and Islamic Law (LL.B): Focuses on both civil law and Sharia law.
Given that you took Islamic Studies in JAMB, you are a very strong candidate for the Common and Islamic Law program at BUK. This is a popular and prestigious course at the institution.
Verdict: Your combination is good to go! Just focus on scoring as high as possible in your Post-UTME to beat the high competition.
