The Federal University Lokoja is the only federal institution in Kogi state, located at the state capital, Lokoja. Over the years, the school has grown in terms of students, classes, and lecturers. This rapid growth is brought about by the university governing council, that are ready to make the university one of the best in the state.
The school has gotten new faculties which include the faculty of Health Science, Engineering, and Pharmaceutical Science. All these departments are fully accredited and are all functioning well with the training of students.
The cut-off mark of Medicine and other courses in the Federal University is out, and if you are interested in studying in the school, it will be very good for you to know the cut-off to be sure whether you qualify for admission or not.
The cut-off mark of Federal University Lokoja comes in two forms, which are the UTME cut-off mark and the final cut-off point. The UTME cut-off mark is just the minimum cut-off mark you need to score in JAMB before you can apply for admission, while the final cut-off point is from the addition of points from your UTME, O’level grades, and Post UTME.
However, the UTME cut-off mark is out already, but the school only releases the final cut-off point after they have conducted the Post UTME exams for students.
So in this blog post, we are going to provide with UTME cut off mark for Medicine and all other courses available in the school.
Cut off Mark For All the Courses Offered in FUL
The UTME cut-off mark is the minimum mark you are expected to score in JAMB before you can be allowed to purchase the School’s post UTME. All the courses offered in Federal University Lafia have the same cut-off mark.

Note: this mark is the minimum mark you will score in JAMB before you can be eligible to purchase the school’s post-UTME form. It is not the final cut-off mark, and so it should not be uncommon for you not to be admitted despite scoring the minimum JAMB cut-off mark.
The cut-off mark that is used for admission is the final cut-off point, and this is released only after the school has completed its post-UTME exercise.
Does Federal University Lokoja Conduct a Post-UTME Exam
The Federal University Lokoja normally does not conduct Post-UTME exams; they use students’ O-level grades in their core subjects with JAMB to grade each student for admission.
However, in 2023, the school conducted a Post-UTME exam for its aspirants. So, the possibility of the school conducting the exam in 2025 is very slim because they didn’t conduct it in 2024, and now that most schools have stopped conducting the exam, the school may likely not conduct Post-UTME exams for the 2025 academic session.
Conclusion
The cut-off mark for admission into the Federal University Lokoja is 170 for all the courses. Even medicine and surgery are 170. However, the catch is that scoring 170, which is the minimum cut-off mark, does not mean you will be admitted to your course of choice. This is because those with high scores are considered first before lower scores till the admission quota is complete for the program.
