How UNILAG Calculates Your Aggregate Score (O’Level + JAMB + Post-UTME)
UNILAG uses a 100-point aggregate system:
- JAMB Score ÷ 8 = max 50 points
Example: 320 ÷ 8 = 40 points - Post-UTME Score = max 30 points (out of 30)
- O’Level (5 relevant subjects) = max 20 points
- A1 = 4.0, B2 = 3.5, B3 = 3.0, C4 = 2.5, C5 = 2.0, C6 = 1.5
Total = 100 points
