Working out your UNIABUJA aggregate score is useful after sitting both JAMB and the post-UTME screening exercise. It tells you roughly where you stand before the admission list is released. University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) publishes a formula for this, and the arithmetic takes seconds once you understand it.
Most Nigerian universities use a weighted formula that combines your JAMB score with your post-UTME score, rather than simply adding the two together. This is why candidates get confused when their raw scores look high but their aggregate does not match expectations.
This guide walks through the UNIABUJA formula, with a worked example, so you can calculate your own aggregate score and compare it against the department cut-off before checking the admission list.
What Is Post-UTME Score?
After every UTME exercise, JAMB sets a national benchmark score candidates must meet before they’re eligible to sit a school’s Post-UTME. UNIABUJA then fixes its own cut-off, which can’t be lower than JAMB’s benchmark. A candidate who clears JAMB’s benchmark but falls short of UNIABUJA’s own cut-off won’t be eligible to sit UNIABUJA’s Post-UTME.
How to Calculate UNIABUJA Aggregate Score
UNIABUJA’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, and notably, UNIABUJA doesn’t factor O’Level grades directly into the aggregate, only your UTME and Post-UTME scores matter here:
- 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 60 in UNIABUJA’s Post-UTME:
240 ÷ 8 = 30
60 ÷ 2 = 30
30 + 30 = 60
That candidate’s aggregate score would be 60 out of a possible 100.

Staying Safe Online
Unfortunately, admission season also attracts scammers who claim they can guarantee you a result or a place for a fee.
No legitimate Nigerian institution asks for payment from a third party in exchange for a result or an admission slot, so treat any such message as a red flag.
Always use the school’s official portal link rather than a link forwarded to you on social media or through a messaging app.
Getting Ready Before You Log In
Before you even open the portal, have your JAMB registration number, email address, and phone number on hand, since most systems ask for at least one of these to confirm your identity.
It helps to do this on a laptop or desktop where possible, since larger screens make it easier to read result pages that are not always optimised for mobile devices.
If you no longer remember the login details you used during registration, check the confirmation email or SMS you received when you first applied.
Final Word on This
Working out your UNIABUJA aggregate score takes less than a minute once you have both your JAMB and post-UTME figures, and doing the maths yourself means you are not left guessing while you wait for the admission list.
Compare your result against your department’s published cut-off, and if you are close to the margin, keep checking the school’s official portal for updates rather than relying on rumours.
