About Federal University Lokoja (FULOKOJA)
The Federal University Lokoja (FULOKOJA) is a federal university established in 2011 and located in Lokoja, Kogi State — the confluence city where the Rivers Niger and Benue meet. It is accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and offers programmes across the arts, sciences, education, social sciences, management sciences, agriculture, and health sciences.
FULOKOJA conducts its Post-UTME screening entirely online using a Point-Based System (PBS), meaning candidates are assessed based on uploaded data — UTME scores, O’Level results, and personal details — without sitting a physical examination. MBBS candidates are an exception and must sit a separate Computer-Based Test (CBT).
FULOKOJA Post-UTME Eligibility Requirements 2026/2027
To qualify for the 2026/2027 FULOKOJA Post-UTME screening, candidates must satisfy all of the following:
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| JAMB application | Must have applied through JAMB for 2026/2027 |
| Institution choice | Must have selected FUL as First Choice |
| UTME score (UTME candidates) | Minimum 160 in the 2026 UTME |
| DE candidates | Must have applied for Direct Entry through JAMB |
| Minimum age | At least 16 years old by 30 September 2026 |
| O’Level credits | Minimum 5 credits in relevant subjects (maximum two sittings) |
| English Language | Compulsory for all programmes |
| O’Level upload | Results must be uploaded to the JAMB portal before screening |
Note on MBBS: Candidates applying for Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) must have selected MBBS as their first choice on the JAMB portal. They will be scheduled for a separate CBT — not the standard PBS. Only MBBS first-choice candidates will be considered.
Awaiting results: Candidates with awaiting O’Level results may begin registration but will not be screened until results are uploaded to JAMB.
How to Apply for FULOKOJA Post-UTME 2026/2027
FULOKOJA’s screening is 100% online. No travel to Lokoja required. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Upload Your O’Level Results to JAMB
Before visiting the FULOKOJA portal, ensure your O’Level results are uploaded on the JAMB CAPS portal. This must be done at a JAMB-accredited CBT centre or JAMB office. Candidates who skip this step will not be able to complete screening.
Step 2: Visit the Official FULOKOJA Portal
Go to www.fulokoja.edu.ng and navigate to Admissions → Undergraduate → Post-UTME Portal. Read all guidelines carefully before proceeding.
Step 3: Log In with Your 2026 JAMB Registration Number
Enter your valid 2026 JAMB Registration Number to confirm eligibility and access your profile.
Step 4: Update Your Information
Fill in your personal details accurately. UTME candidates update biodata; DE candidates also update academic records. Any falsified information detected at any stage — now or after admission — leads to automatic disqualification and no refund of fees.
Step 5: Generate Your Remita Invoice and Pay
On the payment page, generate a Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) code for the ₦2,000 screening fee. Pay online by card or at any bank using the RRR code.
Step 6: Select Your Programme
On the eligibility page, select your most preferred programme from the drop-down list. You will be screened based on this choice — confirm that your UTME subjects and O’Level results qualify you for it. Visit www.fulokoja.edu.ng for course-specific O’Level and UTME subject requirements.
Step 7: Submit and View Your Result
Submit your application. Your Point-Based Screening score will be generated and displayed upon successful completion.
⚠️ The portal closes at midnight on the deadline date. No exceptions. Do not wait until the last day — portal congestion and incomplete documents are the most common reasons candidates miss out.
FULOKOJA Aggregate Score Calculation
FULOKOJA calculates admission aggregate scores using both UTME and Post-UTME performance:
| Component | Weight |
|---|---|
| UTME Score | 50% |
| Post-UTME (PBS) Score | 50% |
Example: UTME score of 200/400 = 50% → weighted as 25 points. Post-UTME score of 70/100 = 70% → weighted as 35 points. Aggregate = 60%.
A higher UTME score significantly improves your aggregate — do not rely on the Post-UTME alone.
FULOKOJA Post-UTME Fee Summary
| Fee | Amount | Payment Method |
|---|---|---|
| Post-UTME Screening Fee | ₦2,000 | Remita (card or bank) |
Pay only through the official Remita platform on the FULOKOJA portal. Do not pay to any agent or third party.

What is the FULOKOJA Post-UTME fee for 2026/2027?
The screening fee is ₦2,000, payable via Remita through the official FULOKOJA admission portal. There is no separate portal access fee — only the ₦2,000 screening charge.
What is the minimum JAMB score for FULOKOJA 2026/2027?
UTME candidates need a minimum JAMB score of 160 to be eligible. Candidates who scored below 160 are not eligible for the 2026/2027 screening exercise.
Does FULOKOJA conduct a physical Post-UTME exam?
No. FULOKOJA uses an entirely online Point-Based System (PBS) — no physical examination, no travel to Lokoja required. The exception is MBBS, which requires a separate CBT for candidates who chose Medicine and Surgery as their first JAMB choice.
What is the FULOKOJA Post-UTME closing date for 2026/2027?
The closing date has not yet been specified in the initial announcement. Based on past sessions, the portal typically closes in August or September. Monitor fulokoja.edu.ng and this page for updates.
Can I apply for FULOKOJA if I did not choose it as first choice in JAMB?
No — unlike some other institutions, the official FUL 2026/2027 notice states candidates must have FUL as their First Choice. If you chose a different school, you need to process a Change of Institution to FUL on JAMB CAPS before attempting to register on the FULOKOJA portal.
How is the FULOKOJA aggregate score calculated?
FULOKOJA combines your UTME score (50% weight) and Post-UTME PBS score (50% weight) to arrive at an aggregate. A score of 200 in UTME and 70/100 in Post-UTME, for example, yields an aggregate of 60%.
Can I apply with awaiting O’Level results?
Yes, candidates with awaiting results may begin registration. However, you will not be screened until your O’Level results are uploaded to the JAMB portal. Only candidates with uploaded results will be considered for admission once the process begins.
Final Thoughts
The FULOKOJA 2026/2027 Post-UTME portal is open from 9 June 2026 — earlier in the cycle than most federal universities, which means the closing date could also arrive sooner than expected. The ₦2,000 fee is among the most affordable in the system, and the fully online PBS process removes the burden of travel to Kogi State.
Apply at www.fulokoja.edu.ng, upload your O’Level results to JAMB first, pay only via Remita, and confirm your UTME subjects align with your chosen programme before submitting. If the deadline is announced, it will be updated here immediately.
