In this post you will see how the admission quota for FUWUKARI is calculated and what you should be preparing for in your admission exercise.
FUWUKARI admission quota analysis
NOTE: The quota as seen on the JAMB official website are as follows:
See The Analysis Below.
Assuming eight thousand candidates (8,000) choose FUWUKARI in UTME, and three thousand, five hundred (3,500) candidates score above FUWUKARI UTME cut off marks, then the school will conduct post UTME screening for the 3,500 candidates.
Let’s say FUWUKARI pegs their post UTME cut off mark at 30, and only has the capacity to admit 3000 candidates.
If 2,900 candidates pass the post UTME out of the 3,500 candidates, then the quota will be calculated as follows.
Quota by Merit: Admission by merit is awarded to candidates with the highest performance in UTME and the school’s post UTME screening (if any) plus any other requirements specified by the school’s board.
So, from the figures above, the merit quota will be:
45 x 2900 / 100
= 1,305 candidates.
These 1,305 will be admitted strictly based on merit.
Quota by catchment area (Indigene): Admission by catchment area is strictly for the indigene of [state where the institution is situated] and it makes up 35% of the total number of candidates to be admitted.
Let’s do the calculation.
35 x 2900 / 100
= 1,050
= 1,050 candidates will be considered for admission based on catchment area.
Quota by state category (Educationally less developed state). This quota is reserved to candidates from some selected states in Nigeria, and it makes up 20% of the total candidates to be admitted.
20 x 2900 / 100
= 580
580 candidates will be considered for admission based on ELDS (Educationally Less Developed States).
States that fall under the “educationally less developed states”.
Twenty-three (23) states of the federation have been identified as Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS). These states are Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Ebonyi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara.
