Understanding Your Post-UTME Score

Your Post-UTME score plays a critical role in the admission process. FUTO calculates a composite score by combining your UTME and Post-UTME scores, which determines your position in the merit list for each program. Generally, higher scores improve your chances of admission, especially in competitive programs such as Engineering, Medicine, and Computer Science.

The university does not publish an official cut-off score for each program, as these are usually determined based on the performance of all candidates and the availability of spaces in each department. Candidates are advised to keep checking for any updates regarding specific departmental cut-off marks.
