Many students struggle to calculate their aggregate score and cut-off mark because it varies by institution. Here’s exactly how Osun State University (UNIOSUN) works it out, with a correctly worked example.
What Is Post-UTME Score?
After every UTME exercise, JAMB sets a national benchmark score that candidates must meet before they’re eligible for a school’s Post-UTME. UNIOSUN 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 UNIOSUN’s own cut-off won’t be eligible for screening, and that cut-off mark is what’s known as the school’s cut-off mark.
Worth noting: UNIOSUN doesn’t run a written Post-UTME exam. Its screening is conducted entirely online, using your JAMB score and O’Level results rather than a timed test.
How to Calculate UNIOSUN Aggregate Score
UNIOSUN’s JAMB examination is marked out of 400, while its screening score is marked out of 100. The formula is a 50:50 split between the two:
- Divide your JAMB score by 8.
- Divide your screening score by 2.
- Add the two results together to get your aggregate score.

Example of How to Calculate UNIOSUN Aggregate Score
Say a candidate scored 240 in JAMB and 80 in UNIOSUN’s screening:
240 ÷ 8 = 30
80 ÷ 2 = 40
30 + 40 = 70
That candidate’s aggregate score would be 70 out of a possible 100.
UNIOSUN Departmental Cut-off Marks
UNIOSUN doesn’t publish one uniform cut-off for every course, and a general JAMB baseline of around 180 has applied in recent sessions. Within that, admission gets more competitive the more sought-after a course is: Medicine, Nursing, Law, and Pharmacy consistently demand the strongest JAMB and O’Level performance, while Arts, Social Science, and general Education courses tend to be more accessible. Since exact departmental cut-offs shift between sessions, confirm the current 2026/2027 figures on UNIOSUN’s official admissions page rather than relying on numbers that might be stale or borrowed from another institution.
Candidates must also meet the correct UTME subject combination as prescribed in the JAMB brochure, and hold the required O’Level subjects at credit level.
UNIOSUN Admission Screening Process
UNIOSUN typically runs its screening in two phases, within a week or two of each other. The first is a pre-screening exercise checking your SSCE results and JAMB registration printout, so arrive early and know your venue if any physical verification is required.
The second phase happens after the admission list is released, where successful candidates are invited for a final document check, typically requiring:
- Original copies of your educational qualifications (results still awaited are not accepted)
- Birth certificate or age declaration
- A letter of good conduct from your village head, or a civil servant not below Grade Level 10
- Certificate of Local Government of Origin, plus your admission status/notification slip
Final Thoughts
Because UNIOSUN’s screening is document-based rather than a written test, your O’Level grades matter just as much as your JAMB score. Run your own numbers through the formula above and confirm against UNIOSUN’s official admissions portal for the 2026/2027 session.
