How Nigerian University Aggregate Scores Are Calculated

Most Nigerian universities determine admission eligibility using a weighted aggregate formula combining your JAMB UTME score (scaled out of 50%), Post-UTME screening score (scaled out of 30%), and best 5 O-Level SSCE grades (scaled out of 20%). For instance, the University of Lagos (UNILAG) uses a strict 50:30:20 ratio. Other institutions such as Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) use a 50:50 ratio between JAMB and Post-UTME.

CampusAI automates these institutional formulas instantly while validating your mandatory subject combinations against official JAMB brochure rules to prevent candidate disqualification.
