FULOKOJA Post UTME Form for 2026/2027 | How To Apply

FULOKOJA Post UTME Form for 2025/2026: As an education consultant with years of experience working with the admission process in various Nigerian universities, I have been able to compile what I believe is the definitive guide for the Federal University Lokoja Post-UTME 2026/2027. The Federal University Lokoja is a highly sought-after school due to its high standards and strategic location. In seeking admission into FULOKOJA, you should be aware that while having a high score in your JAMB exam is vital, beating the competition requires strict adherence to the process.

What is Post-UTME and Why is it Important?

The post-UTME examination is carried out by the university itself after the JAMB examination. This is the final ‘filter’ used in choosing the best candidates for admission into various universities. In the case of FULOKOJA, the post-UTME examination is an integral part of your overall scoring. If you have a JAMB score of 300 and do not take part in the post-UTME examination or if you do not pass in the post-UTME examination, you will be denied admission.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for the FULOKOJA 2026/2027 screening, you must meet the following:

• First Choice: You must have chosen Federal University Lokoja as your First Choice institution.

• JAMB Cut-off Mark: For the 2025 session, the general cut-off was 160. However, for competitive courses like Medicine & Surgery, Nursing, and Engineering, it is usually higher (e.g., 250 for Medicine, 220 for Nursing).

• O’Level Results: You must have at least five (5) credit passes in relevant subjects (including English and Mathematics) in no more than two sittings.

  • Exception: For the College of Health Sciences (Medicine & Surgery) and Nursing, five credits in one sitting are typically required.

• Age: Candidates are generally expected to be at least 16 years old by the time of admission.

Screening Format

FULOKOJA often switches between two formats based on the prevailing national situation:

1. Online Screening (Point-Based System): Where you upload your results and are graded based on your JAMB and O’level performance.

2. Computer-Based Test (CBT): A physical exam held at the university’s Permanent Site (Felele Campus).

For 2026/2027: While the university has recently used the Point-Based System (online screening), you should be prepared for either. If it is a CBT, you will be tested on your JAMB subject combinations.

Required Documents for Registration

• JAMB Original Result Slip.

• O’Level Result(s) (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB).

• Result Verification Scratch Cards (e.g., WAEC Pin/Serial number or NECO Token).

• A valid personal email address and phone number.

• Passport photograph with a red background.

Step-by-Step Registration Guide

 Important Dates

• Form Release: Usually between July and September.

• Deadline: Often falls in October or November.

• Status: Not yet announced for the 2026 session. Keep a close eye on the official website.

How the Score is Calculated

FULOKOJA uses an Aggregate System.

Your final score is usually composed of:

• JAMB Score (50%): Your JAMB score divided by 8.

• O’Level Results / Screening (50%): Points are awarded for your grades (A1 = 10pts, B2 = 9pts, etc.) or your performance in the CBT exam.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Wrong Subject Combination: Using subjects that don’t match the FULOKOJA requirements for your specific course.

• Uploading Fake Results: This leads to automatic disqualification and potential prosecution.

• Wrong Scratch Card Details: If the university cannot verify your O’level result due to a wrong PIN or Token, you will not be considered.

• Ignoring JAMB CAPS: Not uploading your O’level result on JAMB’s portal at a CBT center. If your result is not on CAPS, FULOKOJA cannot offer you admission.

Admission Tips

• Choose Wisely: If your JAMB score is low (e.g., 180), avoid extremely competitive courses like Mass Communication or Nursing.

• Early Registration: Register early to avoid the rush and potential portal crashes on the final day.

• Red Background: Ensure your passport has the required red background to avoid technical hitches with your registration.
