Federal University, Lafia: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
Federal University, Lafia (FULafia) is a Federal university located in Lafia, Nigeria, established in 2010. It offers the 8 programmes listed below. The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ FULafia's only genuine online portals are my.fulafia.edu.ng (undergraduate/Post-UTME), cpgs.fulafia.edu.ng (postgraduate), and fulafia.online (e-learning) — all under the fulafia.edu.ng domain. Beware look-alike blogs and "admission consultants" on Facebook/WhatsApp charging to "secure" admission, selling fake cut-off/aggregate lists, or pushing payment links outside my.fulafia.edu.ng — the only legitimate place to pay the Post-UTME screening fee is my.fulafia.edu.ng. Never pay anyone claiming to guarantee admission outside the official JAMB/FULafia process.
