Calculating the composite post-UTME screening aggregate score for University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED), Ondo involves combining your national Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) score with your verified Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) grades using an institutional 100-point weighted scoring model. The university Senate allocates 60% of the aggregate score to the national UTME examination and 40% to your five core O-Level science subjects (English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology).
Understanding this standardized scoring computation assists prospective applicants in evaluating their chances of admission into competitive healthcare programmes such as Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, Nursing Science, Physiotherapy, and Radiography.
- Retrieve your verified UTME examination score from your official result slip downloaded from the JAMB e-Facility Portal.
- Multiply your UTME score (out of 400) by 0.15 to determine your UTME component score, which carries a maximum of 60 marks.
- Input your verified five core O-Level science grades into the UNIMED online screening calculation matrix.
- Assign the university’s approved grade weights to each of the five subjects (A1 = 8 marks, B2 = 7 marks, B3 = 6 marks, C4 = 5 marks, C5 = 4 marks, C6 = 3 marks).
- Sum the points earned across your five subjects to calculate your O-Level screening component score, which carries a maximum of 40 marks.
- Add your calculated UTME component score (maximum 60) to your verified O-Level component score (maximum 40) to determine your final composite aggregate score out of 100%.
- Compare your calculated composite score against the published departmental merit cut-off marks on the UNIMED admissions portal.
- Confirm that your five core O-Level science subjects on WAEC Direct or NECO portals are verified in at most two examination sittings.
Candidates combining results from two separate sittings must ensure both result verification PINs are submitted accurately on the portal.
- Official JAMB UTME original result slip indicating approved medical science subject combinations.
- Original O-Level certificates or verified online result printouts from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
- UNIMED post-UTME screening registration confirmation docket.
- Calculated composite aggregate summary slip prepared for physical faculty screening.
Securing high grades in both UTME and SSCE examinations is essential for gaining admission into high-demand specialized medical disciplines.
UNIMED admission guidelines stipulate that submitting falsified O-Level grades or altered examination records will result in automatic disqualification and immediate cancellation of provisional admission offers.
Regularly checking the institutional portal ensures candidates receive timely announcements regarding merit lists, supplementary screening batches, and physical clearance schedules.
Prospective scholars must maintain meticulous records of all online applications, payment receipts, and official institutional clearance dockets throughout their academic journey. Diligent documentation protects your candidate profile from administrative discrepancies and facilitates seamless physical verification across faculty screening desks.
Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Important question. For candidates completing online screening, ensure that all scanned documents are clear and in standard PDF/JPEG formats under 200KB. Blurry uploads or mismatched names (such as discrepancies between your NIN, JAMB slip, and O-Level certificate) trigger automated screening queries. If your name has an inversion, obtain a statutory affidavit of name correction and newspaper publication before screening begins.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Thank you for this essential question. Yes, candidates can amend and re-upload their O-Level results if there was an omission or if you used ‘Awaiting Result’ (AR). However, this must be executed at an accredited JAMB Computer-Based Test (CBT) center—you cannot modify your O-Level profile from a private mobile device or cybercafe. Once the CBT operator re-uploads your scratch card details to the central JAMB portal, log in to your JAMB CAPS profile on your mobile browser (in desktop mode), navigate to ‘My O’Level’, and verify that all grades and subjects reflect accurately.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
