How to Calculate Aggregate Screening Score for FUTA Admission

To calculate the composite aggregate screening score for the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), you must divide your JAMB score by eight and add it to your FUTA post-UTME screening score divided by two, yielding a final cumulative score evaluated over one hundred percent. The Federal University of Technology Akure implements a balanced fifty-fifty weighting structure where your performance in the nationwide Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) accounts for fifty points and your score in the university’s computer-based post-UTME screening test accounts for the remaining fifty points.

The calculation procedure begins with your raw Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME score, which is marked out of a total of four hundred. To convert this score to its fifty percent equivalent, divide your JAMB score by eight. For example, if a candidate scores 280 in the UTME, dividing 280 by eight yields 35 points out of 50. A candidate scoring 240 obtains 30 points, while an applicant with 320 secures 40 points toward their final admission ranking.

The second component evaluates your performance in the FUTA computer-based post-UTME screening test, which is administered over a maximum of one hundred marks. To convert your post-UTME screening score to its fifty percent weighting, divide your raw screening score by two. For instance, if an applicant scores 70 marks in the post-UTME screening test, dividing 70 by two yields 35 points out of 50. Scoring 60 marks yields 30 points, while achieving 80 marks earns 40 points.

Finally, add your converted JAMB score and your converted post-UTME screening score together to determine your total composite aggregate score over one hundred percent. Using the earlier illustrations, a candidate who scored 280 in JAMB (35 points) and 70 in the FUTA post-UTME test (35 points) obtains a cumulative aggregate score of 35 plus 35, equaling 70 percent. This composite score is then compared directly against the departmental merit and catchment cut-off marks published by the university admissions committee.

Competitive engineering disciplines such as Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Software Engineering generally require cumulative aggregate scores of 70 percent and above. Environmental technology programs and agricultural disciplines often establish cut-offs between 55 and 65 percent. Understanding this threshold helps candidates assess whether to maintain their initial course or apply for an internal program change before lists are ratified.

Candidates must also satisfy the statutory prerequisite of obtaining at least five credit passes in relevant science subjects at not more than two sittings in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB and confirm that their O’Level results are verified on the JAMB portal. All academic degree programs at FUTA are fully accredited by the National Universities Commission.

Understanding this aggregate calculation enables prospective students to assess their departmental placement prospects accurately across competitive technological engineering and computer science faculties.
