This university uses a Composite Grading System that takes into consideration the following:
- Your O’Level result (WAEC or NECO)
- Post-UTME Result
- UTME/Transcript results of candidate.
FUNAAB grading system is based on ratio 30:20:50 for Post-UTME, O’Level result and UTME score respectively. Now lets go into details as regards the 3 grading systems (Post-UTME, O’Level result and UTME).
O’Level Points
This is based on ONLY five core subjects: English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. A1, B2, B3, C4, C5 and C6 grade are rated as 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point respectively, all other grades are rated as 0 point. Thus, the maximum obtainable Total O’Level points is thus 30pts.
O’Level composite percentage = Total O’Level Points multiplied by 2/3.
UTME composite percentage = Total UTME Score divided by 8
Post-UTME composite percentage = Post-UTME score multiplied by 0.3
COMPOSITE = Sum of all three composite percentages
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Where Agriculture is accepted for a pass in Biology, the grade of Agriculture does not reflect on the O’Level point.
- Where a candidate present 2 results, the calculation is based on the better grade for each of the core subject. However, 1 pt is deducted from the total score obtained.
