FUOYE Departmental Screening Scores (Aggregate Points)

It's common knowledge that FUOYE does not conduct post-UTME exams. Instead, aspirants are required to complete online forms and provide their O'level results along with their JAMB scores. Based on these two platforms, the university's management will determine whether to offer admission.

Meeting the post-UTME cut-off mark for your chosen course is just a preliminary step; additional criteria must also be satisfied for admission. This aspect is precisely what this post aims to discuss – the departmental aggregate points or scores. 

I've previously provided guidance on calculating the score/point for your intended course in my article titled "3 Methods To Calculate FUOYE UTME/DE Aggregate Scores".

Within this post, I will provide a comprehensive list of FUOYE's courses along with their respective aggregate cut-off marks, scores, or points. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that the aggregate points outlined here are subject to review and changes on a yearly basis.

I will strive to keep you updated as more reliable information becomes available. In the meantime, please approach these aggregate points with caution, as there's no assurance that they will remain consistent across all years.

It's also worth noting that the university administration doesn't commonly disclose these departmental aggregate scores. Consequently, it requires some effort to gather and present this information to you.

Utilizing Departmental Aggregate Scores to Determine Admission Prospects

I've consistently advised my students to exercise caution when selecting FUOYE or considering a change to the university. There are specific reasons for this caution. Let's explore the following instances when using the aggregate points/scores.

1. If your score/point falls below 50, it's advisable not to anticipate admission into FUOYE. I haven't personally seen any student admitted with a score below this average threshold. If you hold a differing viewpoint, I encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments section below. Hence, if your score is below 50%, it's advisable to explore other universities that might consider your JAMB score.
2. O'level results carry significant weight in the FUOYE admission process. An A1 grade corresponds to 6 points while achieving your results in one sitting earns you 4 points more than if obtained in two sittings. All these factors contribute to your aggregate point. If your O'level results aren't favorable, your aggregate score will inevitably suffer.
3. A higher JAMB score can offset this to some extent, and vice versa. Nevertheless, I recommend, if feasible, to calculate your aggregate point before committing to FUOYE or exploring alternative universities.
4. If your calculated aggregate point is slightly below the one in the above table, inquire about the margin. If it's by 1 or 2 points, there's still hope. The university might consider you if the number of qualifying applicants is insufficient to fill the department's capacity. However, if the deficit is 2 points or more, I cannot confidently guarantee your admission.
5. Conversely, if your calculated point is higher, your prospects are brighter, and it's time to remain optimistic and hope for the best.

Potential Transfer to Another Course – Except Below 50%

A current trend involves universities transferring candidates from certain courses to others. This typically happens when students fall short of the aggregate points for their preferred courses but meet the criteria for related programs.

If you're considering this possibility, you're on the right track. However, if your calculated point is below 50, this option is unlikely. Even for those above 50, chances are limited, as the university isn't obligated to transfer or assign alternative courses unless vacancies exist or applicants' merit aligns with those programs. Why would a university transfer you if such conditions aren't met?

Hence, if you're close to your departmental score yet remain unadmitted, the possibility of a transfer exists. If you're not close, I strongly recommend considering a switch to another institution that might accept your score.
