Crucial reminder: FUTA states clearly that any candidate who fails to present themselves for the screening exercise will not be considered for admission, regardless of UTME score.
FUTA Post-UTME Past Questions: How to Prepare
FUTA doesn’t release a verified official past-questions bank, but its own site links to a general FUTA Post-UTME/DE practice resource. To prepare effectively:
- Revise your exact UTME subject combination the CBT screening draws from the same subjects.
- Practice timed CBT-style mock tests so the on-screen, multiple-choice format feels familiar.
- For Medicine, Engineering, and Computer Science applicants, expect heavier weighting on Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology depending on your course.
- Be cautious of vendors claiming to sell “exact” FUTA past questions treat such claims with skepticism since there’s no officially confirmed leaked set.
FUTA Post-UTME Cut-Off Mark and Aggregate Score Formula
The general JAMB cut-off mark for FUTA is 180 this is your minimum entry point for screening eligibility, not a guarantee of admission.
FUTA’s aggregate formula is consistently reported as:
Aggregate = (JAMB Score ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME Score ÷ 2)
- Your JAMB score (out of 400) divided by 8 gives a maximum of 50 points.
- Your Post-UTME score (out of 100) divided by 2 gives a maximum of 50 points.
- Add both for your final aggregate, out of 100.
Example: JAMB score of 200 + Post-UTME score of 80 = (200/8) + (80/2) = 25 + 40 = 65 aggregate.
On departmental cut-offs: FUTA has historically not released departmental cut-off marks for several recent cycles (2019–2021, and most cycles since), making admission decisions based on aggregate ranking without publishing the exact threshold. Where older figures exist, they show the wide spread between departments [VERIFY current cycle figures before relying on these]:
- Agricultural Extension and Communication Technology (AEC): historically around 47.5 aggregate.
- Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE): historically around 74.37 aggregate.
- Computer Science (CSC): historically around 69 aggregate, though more recent estimates suggest competitive departments like Computer Science, Cyber Security, and Biotechnology often need scores well above 220 in JAMB alone to be realistic.
- Medicine and Surgery (MBBS): typically requires a JAMB score of 220–250+ as a realistic baseline, given how competitive the newly restored programme is.
- Nursing-adjacent and Allied Health courses: historically around 75 aggregate where applicable.
A score that technically clears the 180 general cut-off doesn’t mean you’re competitive for high-demand departments be realistic about your course choice relative to your scores.
