Working out your CRUTECH aggregate score is useful after sitting both JAMB and the post-UTME screening exercise. It tells you roughly where you stand before the admission list is released. CRUTECH publishes a formula for this, and the arithmetic takes seconds once you understand it.
Most Nigerian universities use a weighted formula that combines your JAMB score with your post-UTME score, rather than simply adding the two together. This is why candidates get confused when their raw scores look high but their aggregate does not match expectations.
This guide walks through the CRUTECH formula, with a worked example, so you can calculate your own aggregate score and compare it against the department cut-off before checking the admission list.
Numerous students need help calculating their overall scores because the institution has a clear cutoff point.
What Is Post UTME Score
The exam body establishes a specific mark after each UTME exercise, such as 120. A candidate must obtain or surpass this score to be eligible to take the POST UTME exam at the selected school.
All institutions are informed of this score to choose how many applicants to accept.
Following the school’s decision, they announced a mark that cannot be less than the mark the UTME body determined.
Any candidate who exceeds the UTME body’s mark but falls short of the school’s cutoff mark is NEVER qualified to take the school’s examination.
What is Aggregate Score?
The score obtained by combining two or more grades is called the aggregate score. The threshold for admission to each program is established using the total score.
It is generated by calculating students’ average scores from their UTME and Post UTME results. The performance of all applicants who applied for that course will be used to establish the cutoff points for each course.

How to Calculate CRUTECH Aggregate Score
You need to be aware of your Post UTME and JAMB scores to determine the CRUTECH Aggregate Score.
Knowing that the JAMB Examination carries 400 points while the CRUTECH Post-UTME only carries 100 points would help you calculate your overall score appropriately.
- Divide your JAMB score by 8,
- Divide your Post UTME score by 2,
- Add up the result
- Consider Treasure, who scored 240 on the JAMB and 60 on the post-UTME. Her overall score can be calculated as follows: 240 divided by 8 is 30, and 60 divided by 2 equals 30. Treasure’s overall score is 30+30, which equals 60.
What To Do After You See Your Score
Once your result appears, take a screenshot or print a copy immediately, since some portals are later updated or taken offline once the admission cycle moves on.
Keep this copy alongside your other admission documents, since schools frequently ask for evidence of your post-UTME score during physical screening or clearance.
If your score looks lower than you expected, it is still worth checking the published cut-off for your department before assuming you have missed out.
A Closing Note
Working out your CRUTECH aggregate score takes less than a minute once you have both your JAMB and post-UTME figures, and doing the maths yourself means you are not left guessing while you wait for the admission list.
Compare your result against your department’s published cut-off, and if you are close to the margin, keep checking the school’s official portal for updates rather than relying on rumours.
