Here’s how to work out your aggregate score for admission into Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), with a correctly worked example to walk you through the math.
COOU, formerly Anambra State University, is based in Uli, Anambra State, with a second campus in Igbariam. It was established in 2000 by the Anambra State Government.
What Aggregate Score Means
Your aggregate score is the single figure COOU’s admissions office uses to rank every candidate for a particular course. It’s built from your UTME result and your Post-UTME screening performance, and the higher it is relative to other applicants for that course, the better your chances of being offered a place.

How to Calculate COOU Aggregate Score
COOU’s UTME examination is marked out of 400, while its Post-UTME screening is marked out of 100. The commonly reported and widely used formula is a 50:50 split between the two:
- Divide your UTME score by 8.
- Divide your Post-UTME score by 2.
- Add the two results together to get your aggregate score.
COOU’s own admissions page doesn’t spell out the exact weighting in a public breakdown, but this JAMB/8 + Post-UTME/2 pattern is consistently reported and matches how most Anambra and comparable state universities calculate their aggregate, so treat it as a reliable working formula rather than an officially published one. If you want absolute certainty, confirm with COOU’s Admissions Unit once your Post-UTME result is out.
Here’s the math for a candidate who scored 240 in UTME and 80 in COOU’s Post-UTME:
240 ÷ 8 = 30
80 ÷ 2 = 40
30 + 40 = 70
That candidate’s aggregate score would be 70 out of a possible 100.
Minimum UTME Requirements
Most courses at COOU require a minimum UTME score of 150 to be considered for Post-UTME screening, while Law, Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, and Pharmaceutical Science require at least 200. Always confirm the exact figure for your specific course on COOU’s official admissions page for the current 2026/2027 cycle, since requirements can shift between sessions.
Final Thoughts
Once you have both your UTME and Post-UTME scores, working out your COOU aggregate takes a minute. Just be sure to also keep your O’Level documents ready, since COOU’s screening process checks those alongside your scores before any admission offer goes out.
