What Is Post-UTME Score?
After every UTME exercise, JAMB sets a national benchmark score candidates must meet before they’re eligible for a school’s Post-UTME. OFFAPOLY then fixes its own cut-off, generally around 120, which can’t fall below JAMB’s benchmark. That cut-off mark is what determines eligibility for OFFAPOLY’s screening in the first place.
How to Calculate OFFAPOLY Aggregate Score
OFFAPOLY’s JAMB examination is marked out of 400, while its Post-UTME screening is marked out of 100. The most consistently reported formula is a 50:50 split between the two:
- Divide your JAMB score by 8.
- Divide your Post-UTME score by 2.
- Add the two results together to get your aggregate score.
You’ll also find a more detailed version reported elsewhere, with JAMB at 50%, Post-UTME at 30%, and O’Level results at 20%. OFFAPOLY hasn’t published a single breakdown we could independently verify, so treat the simpler JAMB/8 + Post-UTME/2 method as the most widely used working formula, and make sure your O’Level results are solid regardless, since they matter either way.
Say a candidate scored 240 in JAMB and 80 in OFFAPOLY’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.
Final Thoughts
Calculating your OFFAPOLY aggregate score is straightforward once you have your JAMB and Post-UTME results. Check the minimum aggregate required for your specific course, since this determines your real chances of admission, and confirm the current figures on OFFAPOLY’s official admissions portal for the 2026/2027 session.
