BUTH notice, applicants should meet all of the following conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Score at least 130 in the relevant JAMB UTME requirement stated by the School.<\/li>\n<li>Be at least 16 years old.<\/li>\n<li>Have five credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Physics.<\/li>\n<li>Obtain the required O\u2019Level credits in not more than two sittings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>BUTH lists the following result combinations as acceptable for the application: WAEC\/WAEC, WAEC\/NECO, NECO\/NECO and NABTEB\/NABTEB. Candidates should compare their certificates with the school\u2019s exact requirements before paying the application fee. Do not assume that a different combination is acceptable simply because another institution accepts it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_is_the_application_fee\"><\/span>How much is the application fee?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The official notice states that the application fee is <strong>\u20a610,000<\/strong> and is non-refundable. Applicants should use only the payment instructions shown on the official BUTH admission notice and the SHIM-BUTH portal. Keep the payment evidence and any generated reference number until the admission process is complete.<\/p>\n<p>Do not transfer money to an agent, WhatsApp contact or social-media account claiming to be able to secure admission. If a payment page or bank detail does not match the official BUTH information, pause and confirm with the School before proceeding.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_apply_online\"><\/span>How to apply online<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the official <a href=\"https:\/\/shim.buth.edu.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SHIM-BUTH admission portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Read the instructions and confirm that you are applying for the 2026\/2027 ND Health Information Management programme.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare your JAMB details, personal information and O\u2019Level result details before starting.<\/li>\n<li>Complete the registration form with the same names and details used on your academic credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Upload the documents requested by the portal and check that every file is clear before submission.<\/li>\n<li>Pay the \u20a610,000 application fee through the approved channel and save your payment evidence.<\/li>\n<li>Review the completed form, submit it and print or save the acknowledgement slip if the portal provides one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Take a screenshot or download a copy of the final submission page. It can help if you later need to prove that your application was submitted before the closing date.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_candidates_should_know_about_screening\"><\/span>What candidates should know about screening<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>BUTH has not published a screening test date in the admission notice reviewed for this report. The school says further information about the Post-UTME or screening exercise will be communicated later. Applicants should therefore monitor the official SHIM-BUTH portal and BUTH website after applying.<\/p>\n<p>This means paying the application fee does not, by itself, guarantee admission. Candidates should keep checking for any instruction about document verification, an interview, a screening exercise, admission status or resumption.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_deadline_warning\"><\/span>Important deadline warning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The closing date is <strong>October 15, 2026<\/strong>. Applicants should not wait until the final day because payment delays, poor network service, incorrect credentials or an incomplete upload can prevent successful submission. The practical target should be to finish several days before the deadline.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Task<\/th>\n<th>Recommended action<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Check eligibility<\/td>\n<td>Confirm the 130 JAMB mark, age and five required O\u2019Level subjects.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Prepare documents<\/td>\n<td>Keep clear copies of JAMB and O\u2019Level records ready.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Apply<\/td>\n<td>Use the official SHIM-BUTH portal only.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pay<\/td>\n<td>Pay \u20a610,000 through the approved channel and retain proof.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Submit<\/td>\n<td>Save the acknowledgement or application number.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>After submission<\/td>\n<td>Continue checking the portal for screening and admission updates.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Health_Information_Management_is_worth_considering\"><\/span>Why Health Information Management is worth considering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Health Information Management is broader than filing paper folders. Students learn how health records are collected, organised, stored, protected and used to support patient care and hospital administration. The field connects healthcare, information technology, data quality, privacy and reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Graduates may find opportunities in hospitals, clinics, health insurance organisations, public-health projects, medical-record departments and health-information technology services, subject to the relevant professional and employment requirements.
