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.
