The expulsions were announced in the university’s official Weekly Bulletin, published on Friday, which stated that the affected students were found guilty of violating the institution’s examination rules and regulations.
“After reviewing the cases, the Senate approved the expulsion of the students in accordance with the university’s examination regulations,” the bulletin read.
According to the university, each case was carefully examined before the final decision was reached, in line with established procedures.
BUK reiterated its zero-tolerance policy on examination misconduct, warning that strict sanctions would continue to be enforced to deter future violations.
The university further stressed that any form of examination malpractice would attract severe consequences, regardless of a student’s status or department, as part of efforts to uphold academic integrity and discipline.
Recall that in April 2025, the institution expelled 62 students and rusticated 17 others over similar offences, following decisions reached at its 42nd Senate meeting held on February 26, 2025.
