"OAU candidates can now calculate their 2026/2027 aggregate score using the official 50:40:10 structure: 50% UTME, 40% Post-UTME and 10% O’Level. See the worked examples and use the CampusAI OAU calculator."
OAU candidates are now checking their aggregate scores
The OAU Post-UTME screening exercise has just ended, and many candidates are now trying to answer one question:
> What will my OAU aggregate score be?
Your JAMB score is important, but it is not the only figure used to determine your aggregate. The official 2026/2027 OAU listing shared through the school’s candidate WhatsApp information channel gives the aggregate structure as:
1. 50% UTME
2. 40% Post-UTME
3. 10% O’Level
This guide explains how to calculate your OAU aggregate score step by step.
What OAU has officially confirmed for 2026/2027
OAU’s official screening notice states that:
- Candidates must have selected OAU as their first choice;
- UTME candidates with a score of 200 or above were eligible for the screening exercise;
- The Post-UTME screening fee was ₦2,000, excluding portal access charges; and
- The scheduled screening period was September 1 to September 5, 2026.

The official OAU aggregate structure: 50:40:10
| Component | Weight | Maximum contribution |
|---|---:|---:|
| UTME score | 50% | 50 points |
| Post-UTME score | 40% | 40 points |
| O’Level points | 10% | 10 points |
| Total | 100% | 100 points |
The 50:40:10 breakdown used in this article comes from the official 2026/2027 OAU listing shared with candidates through the school’s official WhatsApp information channel. The public screening notice confirms the eligibility and screening arrangements but does not reproduce the aggregate table on that webpage.
Step 1: Calculate your UTME contribution
UTME is scored out of 400. Under the 50% weight, divide your JAMB score by 8:
```text
UTME contribution = UTME score ÷ 8
```
Example
If your JAMB score is 280:
```text
280 ÷ 8 = 35
```
Your UTME contribution is 35 points out of 50.
| JAMB score | UTME contribution |
|---:|---:|
| 200 | 25 points |
| 240 | 30 points |
| 280 | 35 points |
| 300 | 37.5 points |
| 320 | 40 points |
| 360 | 45 points |
Step 2: Calculate your Post-UTME contribution
If your Post-UTME result is reported out of 100 and the official weight is 40%, use:
```text
Post-UTME contribution = Post-UTME score × 0.40
```
Example
If your Post-UTME score is 72:
```text
72 × 0.40 = 28.8
```
Your Post-UTME contribution is 28.8 points out of 40.
| Post-UTME score | Contribution |
|---:|---:|
| 50 | 20 points |
| 60 | 24 points |
| 70 | 28 points |
| 72 | 28.8 points |
| 80 | 32 points |
| 90 | 36 points |
> If your official result is presented on a different scale, convert it to a percentage first. Do not insert a raw score into the formula until you know the maximum score used by the result portal.
Step 3: Calculate your O’Level contribution
The official 50:40:10 structure reserves 10 points for O’Level results. The public screening notice does not reproduce the grade-conversion table, so candidates should use the O’Level scale supplied with the official candidate listing or the scale implemented in the CampusAI calculator.
For this worked example, suppose your verified O’Level score is 8 out of 10:
```text
O’Level contribution = 8 points
```
Enter your grades exactly as shown on your WAEC, NECO or NABTEB result.
Worked OAU aggregate example
Assume a candidate has:
- JAMB score: 280;
- Post-UTME score: 72/100; and
- O’Level contribution: 8/10.
```text
UTME: 280 ÷ 8 = 35.0 points
Post-UTME: 72 × 0.40 = 28.8 points
O’Level: 8.0 points
OAU aggregate = 35.0 + 28.8 + 8.0
OAU aggregate = 71.8/100
```
The candidate’s OAU aggregate is 71.8 out of 100 under the official 50:40:10 structure.
This does not mean the candidate is guaranteed admission. The final outcome may depend on the programme, merit or catchment category, available spaces, O’Level requirements and other admission rules.
Another example
Consider another candidate:
- JAMB: 300;
- Post-UTME: 65/100; and
- O’Level contribution: 7/10.
```text
UTME: 300 ÷ 8 = 37.5 points
Post-UTME: 65 × 0.40 = 26.0 points
O’Level: 7.0 points
OAU aggregate = 37.5 + 26.0 + 7.0
OAU aggregate = 70.5/100
```
Even though this candidate has a higher JAMB score, the aggregate is lower because the Post-UTME and O’Level contributions are lower. This is why candidates should consider all components rather than looking at JAMB alone.
The short OAU aggregate formula
Under the official 50:40:10 structure:
```text
OAU aggregate = (JAMB ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME × 0.40) + O’Level points
```
Where:
- `JAMB ÷ 8` converts a score out of 400 into a maximum of 50 points;
- `Post-UTME × 0.40` converts a score out of 100 into a maximum of 40 points; and
- `O’Level points` represents the contribution out of 10.
Why your aggregate is not the same as an admission guarantee
Even with the official 50:40:10 structure, the aggregate alone does not guarantee admission. The final outcome may also depend on:
- The competitiveness of your chosen programme;
- Departmental requirements and available spaces;
- Merit, catchment or other admission categories; and
- JAMB CAPS processing and the final admission list.
How to check your OAU screening result
Use the official OAU admission or result portal and enter the requested credentials. Do not give your JAMB password or payment details to an agent claiming to check or upgrade your result.
