Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State admission requirement, tuition fees and cut off mark

 
##Admission Requirements
For UTME (100-level) entrants:
You must have at least five (5) credit passes in your SSCE/WAEC/NECO (or equivalent) in no more than two sittings, and these must include English Language (always) and Mathematics. 

You must choose FULOKOJA as your first choice when registering for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME. 

You must meet the minimum UTME (JAMB) score set by the university and then participate in the Post-UTME/Screening exercise (if required). 

You must meet any subject-combination requirement for your specific course. For example, for a programme in Computer Science you’ll need credit in Physics, Mathematics, etc. 

##For Direct Entry (DE) applicants (200-level or similar):
In addition to the O’level requirements above, you’d need a relevant advanced qualification (ND, NCE, IJMB, A-Level) in the appropriate subjects for the course you’re 

##Tuition / School Fees
Here are the recent fee details for FULOKOJA — do note they can vary by department/year and are subject to change:

For the 2025/2026 academic session, one source lists the school fees for newly admitted students as approximately ?110,000 to ?160,000 depending on department. 

A breakdown for 2024/2025 shows: for many courses, tuition ~ ?61,340 and “other fees” ~ ?55,500, giving a total of ~ ?116,840 for new students in many departments. 

Also there was a report of a fee hike (from ~?56,000 to ~?188,500 for new students) which caused some uproar. 

For returning students and depending on faculty, lower amounts may apply. 

Key take-away: Make sure to check the official FULOKOJA website or your department’s notice for the exact fee for your year and course.

##Cut-Off Mark
This is what you should aim for to be eligible and competitive for admission:

The general UTME minimum cut-off mark for FULOKOJA for the 2025/2026 session is widely reported as 170 (JAMB/UTME score) for eligibility. 

Some sources suggest 160 has also been used as a base for eligibility. 

For departmental/ programme-specific cut-off marks, there are aggregate or percentage cut-offs that vary by course. For example:

For certain Arts & Social Sciences programmes, the document for 2023/24 shows ~30% cut-off in aggregate. 

Medicine & Surgery (MBBS)	 250 

Nursing Science	220 

Computer Science	 200 

Engineering (Computer Eng., Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical)	200 

Arts & some Social Sciences (e.g., English, History, Archaeology)	 160 

General FT score (for many courses)	170 

For more competitive programmes (Science, Engineering, Health) higher cut-offs apply. (Though I did not locate a full reliable list of all departmental numbers for every course in one place.)

Important: Meeting the cut-off mark means you qualify for consideration; it does not guarantee you admission. Other factors such as the number of applicants, your O’Level performance, subject combination, departmental quota and your performance in screening all matter.

##Key Tips & Takeaways
Make sure FULOKOJA is your first choice in your JAMB UTME application.

Ensure you have your five (5) credit passes including English & Maths in not more than two sittings before applying.

For your chosen course, check early if there are subject-combination requirements (especially for science/engineering/health programmes).

Aim to score well above the minimum cut-off if you’re targeting a highly competitive programme — the minimum is just the starting line.

Check the official FULOKOJA website or departmental portal for the exact current fee for your course—and budget for additional costs (hostel, books, departmental fees, etc).

Don’t treat the minimum cut-off as the target — aim higher to improve your chance of admission.
