How To Calculate Post UTME Admission Screening Scores – All Schools

JAMB Point System: See How To Calculate Post UTME Admission Screening Scores for All Schools Here.

Last year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) approved a new post-UTME screening system for all applicants seeking entry to various tertiary institutions in Nigeria. It was called JAMB Point-System.

This was necessary following the discarding of the Post-UTME test by the Ministry of Education. It is expected that the new admission screening system will become fully effective in the admission exercise at the 2017/2018 academic session.

After completion of the JAMB UTME review in 2017, we would like to inform UNN INFO, the candidates and the general public about how to calculate the UTME screening results with their O'nevel residues (WAEC and NECO) ,

Before you begin, note the following information about 2017 JAMB UTME;

UTME exam questions vary depending on the candidate.

Candidates who count over 250 receive the approval of JAMB in the institution of choice.

2017 JAMB CBT lasts 3 years for candidates with a score of 200 and more

A scholarship can be awarded to candidates over 280 and more in various institutions for a 4-year program.

New Message UTME Screening System:

Note: Before a candidate is a candidate for screening, he must have received a preliminary approval from JAMB. The JAMB Approval Checker Portal will soon be open for this process.

The second process is the point system, where the shot depends on the candidate score. Details of the system are listed below;

1. Candidates who present only one result containing their relevant topics will already receive 10 points. The examination could be NECO, WASSCE, November / December WASSCE etc., but each candidate who receives two sessions only 2 points. This means that candidates with only one result are advantageous, but only slightly.

2. O’ Level grades has it’s equivalent grade points as; A (A1) = 6 marks, B (B1, B2, B3) = 4 marks, C (C4, C5, C6) = 3 marks, so the better the candidates’ grades, the better his or her chances of securing admission this year.

3. UTME scores, where each score range has its equivalent point can be summarised thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points.

4. Each category would contain five JAMB results per point added. Eg. a candidate with 180-185 gets 20 points, while a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points.

How To Calculate Admission Screening Scores:

Sittings: Assuming you have all your required O’level subjects in one sitting, you already have 10 marks.

O’Level: Let’s say you have 1A, 5Bs and 3Cs in your O’level result (WAEC/ NECO/ GCE), then you have, (1×6) + (5×4) + (3×3) = 35 Points.

JAMB Score: Then, say you scored 250 in JAMB UTME, you get 33 Points.

To get the total point, you sum everything together (i.e: Sittings + O’level + Jamb Score).

This implies that – 10 + 35 + 33 = 78 Points. If the cut-off mark for your course of choice in a particular school is below 70, then will be admitted into that institution.

Note:

(i) The culture and the less developed education would still be used for admission to universities in the country.

(ii) Admission to earnings includes 45% of the total number of candidates for a given course, the course is 35%, and the less developed education (ELD) and the personallists contain the rest.

(iii) Cuts are published by the organs this year in the form of brands and non-brands.

(iv) The point system for direct entry will soon be published.
