The admission process for the 2025/2026 academic session commenced in mid-2025, indicating that prospective students for 2026/2027 should prepare accordingly. The university has initiated postgraduate form sales, undergraduate post-UTME screening, and admission updates through JAMB's Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
Admission Aggregate Calculation Method
Federal University Lokoja calculates admission aggregate scores by combining UTME and Post-UTME screening results. The formula applies equal weighting: Aggregate = (UTME score × 0.5) + (Post-UTME score × 0.5). For example, a student scoring 200/400 in UTME (50%) and 70/100 in Post-UTME (70%) would achieve a 60% aggregate score.
Pathway to Successful Admission
To secure admission to Federal University Lokoja, candidates must meet both UTME and departmental cut-off marks, successfully complete the Post-UTME screening exercise, and receive official admission offers through JAMB CAPS. The university maintains its reputation as a reputable federal institution offering affordable, government-funded higher education with rigorous academic standards.
Prospective students are advised to monitor official university channels for updates and ensure they meet all subject requirements for their chosen programs. While cut-off marks provide minimum thresholds, competitive programs may require higher scores for successful admission consideration.
