Working out your aggregate score shouldn’t feel like guesswork. Here’s exactly how Federal University of Lafia (FULAFIA) combines your JAMB and Post-UTME scores, with a correctly worked example you can follow with your own numbers.
FULAFIA is a federal university in Lafia, Nasarawa State, established in 2011. Like most federal universities, it runs a Post-UTME screening exercise every admission cycle and blends that result with your JAMB score to rank candidates for each course.
What Aggregate Score Means
Your aggregate score is the single number FULAFIA’s admissions board uses to compare you against every other candidate who applied for the same course. The higher your aggregate relative to other applicants for that course, the better your chances, since admission is offered in order of ranking until the available slots are filled.
How to Calculate FULAFIA Aggregate Score
FULAFIA’s JAMB examination is marked out of 400, while its Post-UTME screening is marked out of 100. The aggregate comes from a 50:50 split between the two:
- Divide your JAMB score by 8.
- Divide your Post-UTME score by 2.
- Add the two results together to get your aggregate score.
Say a candidate scored 240 in JAMB and 80 in FULAFIA’s Post-UTME. Here’s the breakdown:
240 ÷ 8 = 30
80 ÷ 2 = 40
30 + 40 = 70
That candidate’s aggregate score would be 70 out of a possible 100.

- Engineering courses: typically 200 and above in JAMB, with a correspondingly strong Post-UTME performance.
- Basic medical sciences: typically 180 and above in JAMB.
- Law, Medicine and Surgery, and Pharmacy: these are the most competitive courses and require the strongest JAMB and Post-UTME performance of any faculty.

Final Thoughts
FULAFIA’s aggregate formula is one of the simpler ones to work with once you know the split: JAMB divided by 8, Post-UTME divided by 2, added together. Run your own numbers through it as soon as your Post-UTME result is out, and compare against the departmental cut-off for the course you applied to for the 2026/2027 session.
