•      How is FUNAAB aggregate/composite score calculated?

FUNAAB admission is based on 3 criteria: JAMB score, O level grades and post UTME score. JAMB score carries 50% of the composite, O level carries 20%, while post UTME score carries the remaining 30%. In order to learn how to calculate your composite score, let’s calculate the composite of ADE. Here are his results:

*JAMB score- 205

*O LEVEL-  Eng. Lang- C5

                  Maths- C6

                  Chm- B3

                  Phy- C4

                  Bio- B2

                  Econs- A1

                  F/Maths- F9

                  Geography- D7

*Post UTME score- 53%

-The JAMB score is divided by 8.

- The O level grades carried points

A1= 6points, B2= 5points, B3= 4points, C4=3points, C5= 2points, C6= point. Only the 5 required subjects are calculated (MTh, end, Phy, chm, and bio). The sum is then multiplied by 2/3

-  The post UTME score is multiplied by 0.3

Now, in order to calculate the composite of Ade, we first

*Divide his JAMB score by 8 i.e. 205/8

*Calculate his O level. 

o First part: We need grades of math, end, chm, Phy & bio which are 

>Mth-C6=1point

>eng-C5=2points

>chm-B3=4points

>phy-C4=3points

>BIO-B2=5points

Total points 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 5= 15             

o Second part. We then multiply the points by 

*Calculate the post UTME

Ade had 53 in the post UTME so we simply multiply the 53 by 0.3 i.e. 53 x 0.3= 15.9

Therefore, the composite of Ade is the sum of the composites gotten from his

JAMB score, O level and post UTME score. That is

>JAMB- 25.63

>O level- 10

>post UTME- 15.9

Composite= 25.63 + 10 + 15.9= 51.53% (don’t approximate).

Therefore, Ade’s composite is 51.53%

•      What is FUNAAB cut-off mark for (e.g. accounting?)

The funny thing about FUNAAB admission is that they don’t release any official cutoffs. We can only guess. In order to be admitted for any engineering course, you must have a composite of 55% at least. For a start, a composite of at least 45% is eligible for admission. This is not to say that once you have 45% composite, you’ll surely be admitted. Aim for a composite of 50above if you want the admission.

•      How many candidates will FUNAAB offer admission?

The average number of candidates offered admission per session is 3,500 (D.E inclusive).

But sometimes, it might be close to 3,700.

•      Will we write essay during FUNAAB post UTME?

2014/2015 admission session, FUNAAB introduced essay writing compulsory for all candidates (DE exclusive). During the time of post UTME registration, the topics will be posted on the admission portal. You will be required to select a topic and write an essay on it. Type and print the write-up following the guidelines provided.

Candidates are required to come along with the printed write-up to their exam venue on the day of their post UTME. The write-up will be collected from you and that will be the end. Nobody knows what the school does with it.

•      Can I do change of course after the post UTME and how?

No, there’s no room for that in FUNAAB. 

•      How many admission lists do FUNAAB normally release and when?

Two usually. First batch and second batch, plus a supplementary list.

•      How much is FUNAAB acceptance fee?

Acceptance fee (plus Computer Training fee) as of 2014/2015 set was N45, 000.

•      How much is FUNAAB school fee?

School fee in FUNAAB is unpredictable because it increases annually. But at the last check, Freshers paid N38,000, 200L stallites paid N20,000 while stallites from 300L above paid N18,000.

•      How much is FUNAAB pre degree form?

As at the last time, FUNAAB pre degree form was around N11,500.

•      What is FUNAAB official website?

•      How are we going to pay?

You pay into the school account number at the designated banks or the school microfinance bank.

•      What next after paying the acceptance fee?

Computer Training and registration/result verification.

*Original JAMB result that contains your passport photo and the photocopy. This can only be gotten by purchasing JAMB E-facility scratch card (N1, 200) and following the instructions behind the card.

*O level result(s). Not necessarily the one from WAEC/NECO office. You can use the one printed from the net or statement of result from your school. Just make sure it is the original copy (coloured preferably). Also make a photocopy.

*Testimonial. This document can be gotten from the school you sat for you SSCE- not necessarily the school you graduated from. For instance, if you graduated from

COVENANT College, but the O level result you’re using is from EVERGREEN Private College. The testimonial you’re going to use must be that of EVERGREEN Private College. This is for those using WAEC (May/June) or NECO (May/June).

*Admission status page. You may not know what this is, but it is the document you print rom the admission portal that contains all your data: course offered, O level, JAMB UTME and post UTME score and composite. You need the original and photocopy.

*Birth certificate (Original & photocopy). The birth certificate should be that gotten from National Population Commission (NPC) at the LGA or a general hospital. Any other birth certificate will be rejected.

*Letter of Attestation from your school, a respectable body or religious leader. This is for those using GCE (whether WAEC GCE or NECO GCE). If you’re combining WAEC and GCE, you’ll need a testimonial from the school you sat for the WAEC and a letter of attestation for the GCE result you’re using. But if you’re using just WAEC, all you need is the statement of result and testimonial.

•      What if I (mistakenly) filled a wrong information during the post UTME registration, but after I’ve been admitted the error was discovered during the result verification process. What will be my fate?

Your fate depends on God. But usually, the admission is not withdrawn. You’ll just be required to rectify it.  

•      What if the name in one of my documents differs from the one in others?

The 2 documents can’t be combined then. Or you should just go swear an affidavit that you made an error in the document.

•      What if my name is wrongly spelt in one of my documents (e.g. Matthew spelt Mathew, Shola spelt Sola). Does it mean?

No it doesn’t. The inspector will understand that the error is minimal.

•      I want to use combined result, but there is a problem. The name on my WAEC result is Williams Chika Ezinne. But the person that helped me register for GCE filled Williams Chika Ezenwa. What do I do?

You can’t use the 2 results together. They’re conflicting. Just sit for another exam.

•      Does FUNAAB have school hostels? How much is FUNAAB School Hostel?

Yes, the school has hostels and the current prices are

Old male block: N18, 090

New male block: N25, 090

Old female block: N25, 090

New female block: N30, 090

•      How much will it cost to get an apartment off campus?

If you want to stay totally off the school vicinity, you can get a room at N20, 000. But if you want to stay close to the school, get N40, 000 ready at least. But you’ll have to get up to N60, 000 if you want a decent apartment.

FUNAAB. I want to print my admission letter from JAMB website but it’s that of

Auchi Poly that’s still there. How do I reject the admission so that I can print the admission letter of FUNAAB?

Visit JAMB office.
