If you are looking for accurate information as to how to calculate ESUT aggregate score or aggregate cut off mark, then you are on the right page.
Firstly, what is an aggregate cut off mark or score? An aggregate cut off mark is the total score a candidate has after combining JAMB and Post UTME scores. For some universities, you would have to combine more than just JAMB and post UTME but your O’Level grades as well.
Knowing your aggregate score is very important as this will determine if you are eligible for admission into the university. Your aggregate score should meet up with the departmental cut off mark of the course you wish to study before you will be allowed to study that course in ESUT.
How To Calculate ESUT Aggregate Cut Off Mark
It is very easy to calculate ESUT aggregate cut off mark as the university uses a formula similar to that of most universities. ESUT uses a 50:50 system, where your JAMB represents 50% while your post represents the remaining 50% totaling 100%.
However, if you are able to perform really well in your Post UTME you would find yourself having a really high aggregate score regardless of how you perform in your JAMB. This is because ESUT prioritizes its Post UTME over its JAMB scores.
To calculate, you would need to know your JAMB and Post UTME scores. Once you have that information handy, you can go ahead and use the calculation procedure below.
JAMB UTME is made up of 400 marks while ESUT Post UTME is made 100 marks.
Simply divide your JAMB score by 8
Divide your Post UTME score by 2
Add up the result
That gives you your ESUT aggregate score
Illustration 1
JAMB Score / 8 = 50%
Post UME Score / 2 = 50%
Total = 100%
Example
To better understand the calculation process, you can check out this illustration below.
Let’s assume that a candidate Mr. Nikky applying to study in Enugu state university of Science and Technology has a JAMB score of 230 and a Post UTME score of 70. To calculate his aggregate score;
JAMB score = 230 / 8 = 28.75
Post UTME score = 70 / 2 = 35
Total = 28.75(JAMB) + 35(Post UTME) = 62.5
Mr. Nikky’s aggregate score will be 63.75.
Why is it Important to Calculate Your Aggregate Score?
It is important that you know how to calculate your selected institution’s aggregate score as this will determine whether or not you are eligible for admission. This is because your aggregate score will be compared with the departmental cut off mark of the course you wish to study.
If you are unable to meet up with the departmental cut off mark you will not be considered for admission or pushed to other departments with lower cut off marks.
To ensure you get admitted to study the course of your choice, you would have to reach or surpass the departmental cut off mark. However, it is advisable you surpass the departmental cut off mark, especially if you are going for a competitive course.
ESUT Departmental Cut Off Mark for 2024/2025 Session
Enugu state university of Science and Technology releases a cut off mark for each all its departments which every student must meet up with before being considered for admission. The departmental cut off mark is released on a yearly basis and several changes are also made. However, you could use the departmental cut off mark for the previous year to prepare yourself for the JAMB and Post UTME exam.
Ensure that your goal is to perform exceptionally so that your aggregate score would be well above the cut off mark of the course you wish to study.
ESUT JAMB Cut Off Mark
JAMB releases an official cut off mark which every university must adhere to. However, some universities have a different cut off mark for different courses. This is based on the competitiveness and difficulty of the course. While ESUT’s general cut off mark is around 180, you would want to score higher to ensure that you end up with a good aggregate score.
Scoring below the cut off mark for your selected course doesn’t mean you will not be eligible for admission as long as you don’t score below 180. However, scoring anything below the stated cut off marks means you will have to score extremely high in your Post UTME to ensure that you end up with a good aggregate score that would meet up with the departmental cut off mark.
