Guide to Calculating University Admission Aggregate Scores

A new guide explains that a high JAMB score alone does not guarantee university admission, as many Nigerian universities combine UTME, Post-UTME, and sometimes O’Level results to determine a candidate’s aggregate score. The article emphasizes that the specific calculation formula varies significantly between institutions, urging candidates to consult their chosen university's official admission guidelines. While some universities may weigh UTME and Post-UTME equally, others incorporate O’Level grades, where higher grades can improve the overall score. The guide advises against relying on formulas from other universities and stresses the importance of confirming current requirements to make informed decisions during the admission process, such as considering alternative courses or institutions if scores fall short of cut-off marks.
