If you are looking for accurate information as to how to calculate UNIABUJA aggregate score or aggregate cut off mark, then you are on the right page.
The aggregate cut off mark is the total score a candidate has after combining JAMB and Post UME scores. For some universities, you would have to combine more than just JAMB and Post UME 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 UNIABUJA.
How To Calculate UNIABUJA Aggregate Cut Off Mark
It is very easy to calculate UNIABUJA aggregate cut off mark as the university uses a formula similar to that of most universities. UNIABUJA 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 UME you would find yourself having a really high aggregate score regardless of how you perform in your JAMB. This is because UNIABUJA prioritizes its Post UME over its JAMB scores.
To calculate, you would need to know your JAMB and Post UME 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 UNIABUJA Post UME is made 100 marks.
Simply divide your JAMB score by 8
Divide your Post UME score by 2
Add up the result
That gives you your aggregate score
Illustration
JAMB Score / 8 = 50%
Post UME Score / 2 = 50%
Total = 100%
Example
To better understand the calculation process, you can check out this example below.
Let’s assume that a candidate Mr. Garki applying to study in the university has a JAMB score of 260 and a Post UME score of 60. To calculate his aggregate score;
JAMB score = 260 / 8 = 32.5
Post UME score = 60 / 2 = 30
Total = 32.5 + 30 = 62.5
Mr. Garki’s aggregate score is 62.5.
Why is it Important to Calculate The Aggregate Score
It is important that you know how to calculate your 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.
