Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can candidates with scores below 150 apply?
A: No. Candidates who score below the cut off mark of 150 in the UTME are ineligible for AIFUE’s 2025/2026 admission process and cannot register for the post UTME screening.
Q: Does AIFUE allow payment of school fees in instalments?
A: Yes. AIFUE generally permits payment in two instalments per semester, but students are required to clear their fees before sitting for exams.
Q: Do science or specialised laboratory courses attract higher fees?
A: Science and lab courses sometimes require additional charges for laboratory, workshops, studios, practical or ICT services.
Q: When are school fee payments due?
A: AIFUE usually sets official deadlines each academic session for fee payment, and students are expected to pay before academic activities (e.g., exams).
Q: Does meeting the cut off mark guarantee admission?
A: No. Meeting the cut off mark only qualifies you to participate in AIFUE’s post UTME or internal screening. Final admission depends on your performance in the screening exercise, departmental requirements, available slots, and O-Level results.
