FUMMSA Screening Process (Aggregate Score)
For 2025/2026, FUMMSA will not conduct a written Post-UTME exam. Admissions will be based solely on a combination of your O’Level results and JAMB score, calculated as follows:

- A1 = 6 points
- B2 = 5 points
- B3 = 4 points
- C4 = 3 points
- C5 = 2 points
- C6 = 1 point
Formula:(O’LevelPoints÷30)×50
2. JAMB Score (50%)
Formula:(JAMBScore÷400)×50
3. Final FUMMSA PUTME Score
FinalScore=O’LevelScore+JAMBScore
The total score determines the cut-off mark for each programme based on competition and number of applicants.
