Since cut-off marks and formulas differ across institutions, many students struggle to work out their aggregate score correctly. This article explains exactly what FUWUKARI considers when calculating your aggregate, and walks through a correctly worked example.
What Is Aggregate Score?
Your aggregate score is the combined figure FUWUKARI’s admissions board uses to rank candidates and set the cut-off point for each programme. Cut-off points differ by course because they depend on how the whole pool of applicants for that course performed.

How to Calculate FUWUKARI Aggregate Score
Unlike schools that use a simple 50:50 JAMB/Post-UTME split, FUWUKARI’s aggregate is built from three components: your JAMB score, your O’Level grades, and your Post-UTME score. Together they’re commonly reported as a 50:20:30 weighting.
1. JAMB Score (worth up to 50 points)
Divide your JAMB score (out of 400) by 8.
2. O’Level Grades (worth up to 20 points)
Your five best O’Level grades are converted to points on this scale:
- A1 = 6 points
- B2 = 5 points
- B3 = 4 points
- C4 = 3 points
- C5 = 2 points
- C6 = 1 point
Add up your points across five subjects (maximum 30), then multiply the total by 2/3 to bring it down to a 20-point scale.
3. Post-UTME Score (worth up to 30 points)
Multiply your Post-UTME score (out of 100) by 0.3.
Worked Example
Say a candidate scored 250 in JAMB, had O’Level grades of A1 in English (6), B2 in Mathematics (5), B2 in Biology (5), C4 in Physics (3), and A1 in Chemistry (6), and scored 55 in the Post-UTME.
JAMB: 250 ÷ 8 = 31.25
O’Level: 6 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 6 = 25 total points, then 25 × 2/3 = 16.7
Post-UTME: 55 × 0.3 = 16.5
Aggregate: 31.25 + 16.7 + 16.5 = 64.45
That candidate’s aggregate score would be approximately 64.45 out of 100.
Final Thoughts
FUWUKARI’s formula takes a little longer to run than schools using a plain JAMB/Post-UTME split, since it also factors in your O’Level grades directly. Work through all three components carefully, and confirm the current 2026/2027 cut-off marks on FUWUKARI’s official admission portal once your Post-UTME result is out.
