How to Apply: FULAFIA Post UTME 2025 Registration Process
Follow these steps carefully to register for the 2025 Post-UTME:
- Visit the FULAFIA Admission Portal:
https://admissions.fulafia.edu.ng - Login Using JAMB Details:
Input your JAMB registration number and other required credentials. - Pay the Screening Fee:
The non-refundable application fee is N2,000, payable via REMITA. - Fill in Your Academic Information:
Upload your SSCE results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) and ensure all data matches your JAMB profile. - Upload Passport Photograph:
Ensure it is a recent passport with a white background. - Preview and Submit:
Cross-check all information before submission. - Print Confirmation Slip:
You will need this for future reference and during physical verification (if applicable).
FULAFIA Post-UTME Screening Format
FULAFIA usually conducts either:
- Online screening (based on O’Level & JAMB performance) or,
- Computer-Based Test (CBT) format, depending on the department.
For 2025, indications suggest the university will likely continue with the online screening method, meaning no written test unless otherwise announced.
This means:
- Your O’Level results and JAMB score will be used to compute an aggregate.
- You don’t need to travel to the campus unless physical screening is later announced.
How FULAFIA Computes Aggregate Scores
Here’s a general breakdown of how the screening score is calculated:
- JAMB Score (50%)
- O’Level Result (50%)
For example, if you scored 240 in JAMB, and your O’Level grades translate to strong B’s and A’s, you stand a good chance of meeting the departmental cut-off.
Grading for O’Level subjects is usually done as:
- A1 = 10 points
- B2 = 9 points
- B3 = 8 points
- C4 = 7 points
- C5 = 6 points
- C6 = 5 points
So if you have five A1s in relevant subjects, that’s 50 points—a strong edge in aggregate computation.
