If you’ve been admitted into the Post-UTME screening list for Federal University, Lokoja (FULOKOJA), the next thing you need to understand is how your aggregate score gets worked out. This is the number that decides whether you make it into your chosen course for the 2026/2027 session, so it’s worth getting right.
What Is an Aggregate Score?
Your aggregate score is a single combined figure that admission officers use to rank every candidate who applied for a particular course. It usually pulls together your UTME (JAMB) score, your O’Level results, and, where a school still conducts one, a Post-UTME or screening score. Whoever has the highest aggregate for a given course gets offered admission first, and the school works down the list until the available slots for that department are filled.
How FULOKOJA Works Out Its Aggregate Score
FULOKOJA’s admission pages confirm that you need a UTME score of at least 160 to qualify for Post-UTME screening, and that higher cut-offs apply to competitive courses like Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Law, Medical Laboratory Science, and Computer Science. What the university has not published in a single public document is a precise, line-by-line formula showing exactly how much weight it gives to UTME versus O’Level versus Post-UTME for the 2026/2027 session.
That doesn’t mean there’s no system, it just means we can’t hand you an official FULOKOJA-specific weighting and claim it’s exact when the university itself hasn’t put a number on it anywhere we could verify. What we can tell you, honestly, is the common pattern most Nigerian federal universities use, which FULOKOJA’s structure broadly follows:
- Your UTME score (out of 400) is scaled down, commonly by dividing it by 8, so it sits on a comparable range to the other components.
- Your O’Level results are converted into points based on your grades in the required subjects.
- Your Post-UTME screening performance (where one is conducted) is added as its own component.
- The three figures are added together to give your aggregate score.
To illustrate the general method only, not an official FULOKOJA figure, here’s how it would work: a candidate with a UTME score of 280, a Post-UTME score of 25, and an O’Level average of 18 would get 280 ÷ 8 = 35, then 35 + 25 + 18 = 78 as their aggregate.
Because FULOKOJA hasn’t published an exact breakdown we could confirm, the safest move is to check the notification that comes with your own Post-UTME screening result, or the admissions section of the university’s own website, before the 2026/2027 admission list is released. Universities do occasionally tweak their weighting from one session to the next.
