Many students struggle to calculate their aggregate score and cut-off mark because it varies by institution. Here’s exactly how The Polytechnic, Ibadan (IBADANPOLY) works it out, with a correctly worked example.
Founded in 1970, IBADANPOLY provides technical and vocational higher education as an alternative to the university track, similar to other polytechnics across Nigeria.
What Is Post-UTME Score?
After every UTME exercise, JAMB sets a national benchmark that candidates must clear before they’re eligible to sit a school’s Post-UTME. Each polytechnic then fixes its own cut-off, which can’t be lower than JAMB’s benchmark, to decide how many candidates get invited to screening. A candidate who clears JAMB’s benchmark but falls short of the school’s own cut-off mark won’t be eligible for that school’s Post-UTME.

How to Calculate IBADANPOLY Aggregate Score
IBADANPOLY’s JAMB examination is marked out of 400, while its Post-UTME screening is marked out of 100. The 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.
Say a candidate scored 240 in JAMB and 80 in IBADANPOLY’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.
