How FUTO Calculates Aggregate Score

FUTO uses a weighted system to calculate your final score.

  • UTME score = 60%

  • Screening score = 40%

Example:

If you scored 250 in JAMB
250 ÷ 400 × 60 = 37.5

If you scored 80 in the screening
80 ÷ 100 × 40 = 32

Your aggregate is the sum of the two, which is 69.5

The higher your score, the better your chances of your name appearing on the admission list.

FUTO Course Requirements

Apart from meeting the cut off mark, you must also meet these basic requirements:

O Level Requirements

You must have at least five credits, including:

  • English Language
