Many students struggle to calculate their aggregate score and cut-off mark because it varies by institution.
This article will explain what aggregate and post-UTME scores mean and what factors should be considered before calculating the aggregate score.
What Is Post Utme Score
After every UTME exercise, the exam body sets a particular mark {e.g., 120}. This mark is a score a candidate must have or cross to qualify him or her to sit for the chosen school’s POST UTME exercise.
This mark is announced to all schools to enable them to decide the number of candidates they will admit.
After the school’s decision, they announced a mark that must not be lower than the mark the UTME body fixed.
Any candidate who crosses the mark set by the UTME body and does not reach the chosen school’s mark is never eligible to sit for the school’s POST UTME.
The school admission board sets this mark or score called School’s Cut-off Mark.
What Is Aggregate Score
The aggregate score is used to determine the cut-off point for admission into each program. Cut-off points for each course will be determined by the performance of all the candidates who applied.
