How FUTO Calculates Your Aggregate Score
While meeting the JAMB cut-off is essential, your final admission will be determined by your aggregate score. This is a combination of your JAMB score and your Post-UTME score. Though the exact formula for the 2025/2026 session is yet to be confirmed, a commonly used method by FUTO in the past is:
(JAMB Score / 8) + (Post-UTME Score / 2) = Aggregate Score
For instance, if you scored 280 in JAMB and 70 in the Post-UTME, your aggregate score would be:
(280 / 8) + (70 / 2) = 35 + 35 = 70
Important Information for Aspirants
- The application for the Post-UTME screening exercise commences on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, and closes on Sunday, August 31, 2025.
- You must be at least 16 years old by September 30, 2025, to be eligible.
- Ensure your JAMB subject combination aligns with the requirements for your chosen programme.
- You are required to upload your O’Level results on the JAMB CAPS portal.
Keep in mind that the departmental cut-off marks, which are the minimum aggregate scores for admission into specific departments, are usually released after the Post-UTME screening exercise. These departmental cut-offs are influenced by the overall performance of candidates in both the UTME and Post-UTME. Therefore, a high score in both examinations is crucial for securing admission, especially for competitive courses.
