We wish to inform the entire University community and the General Public that Post UTME, Direct Entry and other relevant Screening Examination for 2022/2023 admission exercise will be conducted with an automated O’ level and UTME results grading system introduced last year by our University.
CALCULATION FORMULA USED FOR THE POST-UTME 2021/2022 ADMISSIONS SCREENING EXERCISE UMTE CANDIDATES:
Candidates will be screened based on their JAMB scores and O’level result for the four subjects taken in JAMB. The following considerations will apply:
A. RATIO – The ratio will be 70:30. i.e 70% JAMB score and 30% O’level subject score: 70/100 = 0.7; 30/100 = 0.3
B. RANKING OF O’LEVEL SUBJECTS SCORE – O’level results will be ranked as given below:
A1= 90,
B2= 80,
B3= 70,
C4= 60,
C5= 55,
C6= 50,
D7= 25,
E8 to F9=0,
Awaiting Result (AR) =0
For each candidate, the O’level subjects used will be the subjects the candidate sat for in JAMB. E.g. for a candidate who sat for English, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics in JAMB, the grades obtained in candidate O’level results in these subjects will be used to calculate the O’level points obtained.
C. BONUS – A candidate who credited his four subjects in a single sitting will get a bonus of 10 points (i.e. Bonus =10). A candidate who credited his four subjects in two sitting will get no bonus (i.e. Bonus = 0).
D. CALCULATIONS – Final score = [(JAMB SCORE`* 0.7) + [(O’level score + Bonus)*0.3]
Illustration: A student scored 280 in JAMB and had O’level results distributed as given in the table below:
SUBJECTS JAMB SCORES O’LEVEL RESULTS O’LEVEL SCORES
English 66 A1 90
Mathematics 78 B3 70
Physics 70 B3 70
chemistry 66 C5 55
TOTAL 280 285
I. Single sitting:
Final score= Weighted JAMB score + Weighed O’level score
(280 x 0.7) + [ (285 +10) x 0.3]
= 196 + 88.5
= 284.5
II. Two sittings:
Weighted JAMB score + Weighed O’level score (280 x 0.7) + [ (285+ 0)x 0.3]
= 196 + 85.5
= 281.5
