Here’s exactly how to calculate your aggregate score for Umaru Musa Yar’Adua University (UMYU), formerly Katsina State University, with a correctly worked example.
UMYU was established by the Katsina State Government in 2006.
What Is Post-UTME Score?
After every UTME exercise, JAMB sets a national benchmark score that candidates must meet before they can sit a school’s Post-UTME. UMYU then fixes its own cut-off, which can’t fall below JAMB’s benchmark. A candidate who clears JAMB’s benchmark but falls short of UMYU’s own cut-off won’t be eligible to sit UMYU’s Post-UTME, and that cut-off mark is what’s referred to as the school’s cut-off mark.
How to Calculate UMYU Aggregate Score
UMYU’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 UMYU’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.
