How to Calculate UNIABUJA Aggregate Score

UNIABUJA calculates aggregate scores using a 50:50 ratio of your JAMB score and Post-UTME score.

Here’s the formula:

Aggregate Score = (UTME Score / 8) + (Post-UTME Score / 2)

Example:

If you score 240 in JAMB and 60 in Post-UTME:

• JAMB: 240 ÷ 8 = 30

• Post-UTME: 60 ÷ 2 = 30

Aggregate Score = 30 + 30 = 60

Each department then ranks candidates based on the aggregate score to determine admission.

Final Tips for Admission Success

• Study past UNIABUJA Post-UTME questions.

• Confirm that your subject combinations match the requirements for your course.

• Score high in both JAMB and Post-UTME to increase your chances.

• Apply early and ensure your documents are complete.
