FUTB Aggregate Score Calculation
FUTB calculates admission aggregate scores by combining JAMB and Post UTME results. The standard formula used by many federal universities of technology is:
(JAMB Score + Post UTME Score) ÷ 2 = Aggregate Score
For example, if you scored 200 in JAMB and 70 in Post UTME: (200 + 70) ÷ 2 = 135 aggregate. The higher your aggregate, the stronger your admission chances — especially for competitive engineering and computing courses. Scoring above the minimum cut-off does not guarantee admission; performance relative to other applicants in your department determines final selection.
