The form is out and the registration process is open.

FUEZ Aggregate Score Formula

FUEZ uses the standard weighted aggregate formula:

Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score divided by 8) + (Post UTME Score divided by 2)

This produces a score out of 100, with JAMB contributing up to 50 points and the screening score contributing up to 50 points.

Worked example: - JAMB score: 180. Divide by 8 = 22.5 points - Post UTME score: 65 out of 100. Divide by 2 = 32.5 points - Total aggregate = 55 out of 100

For Science Education courses like Mathematics Education and Computer Science Education, candidates should target aggregates of 60 and above to be competitive.
