How to Calculate UNILORIN Aggregate Score
UNILORIN uses an aggregate scoring system combining your JAMB score, POST-UTME performance, and O’Level grades.
UNILORIN Aggregate Formula: JAMB: 50% | POST-UTME: 30% | O’Level: 20%
Step-by-step calculation:
- JAMB contribution: (Your JAMB Score ÷ 400) × 50
- POST-UTME contribution: (Your POST-UTME Score ÷ 100) × 30
- O’Level contribution: (Your O’Level Points ÷ Maximum Points) × 20
- Total Aggregate = Step 1 + Step 2 + Step 3
Example: JAMB 250 → (250÷400)×50 = 31.25 | POST-UTME 70% → 21.00 | O’Level 5 A1s → 20.00 | Total: 72.25
