How to Calculate Aggregate Score for BSU Makurdi Admission Screening

To calculate the aggregate score for Benue State University (BSU) Makurdi admission screening, you must divide your Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME score by eight and combine it with your post-UTME screening points and secondary school O’Level examination grading points calculated across your five core subjects. BSU applies a composite screening evaluation model designed to fairly weigh unified tertiary entrance scores alongside cumulative secondary school academic rigor to produce an overall screening percentage over one hundred percent.

The initial computation processes your official JAMB result, which carries a fifty percent weighting in the overall composite screening model. By dividing your total UTME score out of four hundred by eight, your score is converted to a fifty-point scale. For example, a candidate who scores two hundred and forty in UTME earns thirty points out of fifty, whereas an applicant scoring two hundred and eighty secures thirty-five points, and an applicant achieving three hundred and twenty marks secures forty points toward the screening composite.

The remaining fifty percent is evaluated from the candidate’s five compulsory Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) subjects, which must include English Language, Mathematics, and three disciplines aligned with your chosen department as published on the official JAMB portal. BSU screening assigns distinct numerical values to letter grades: an A1 grade attracts ten points, a B2 yields nine points, a B3 yields eight points, a C4 confers seven points, a C5 confers six points, and an acceptable C6 grade confers five points. Sub-credit grades below C6 receive zero points.

Summing the scores of your five primary disciplines produces an O’Level rating evaluated out of a theoretical maximum of fifty points. If an applicant achieves two A1s, two B2s, and one B3 across their subject prerequisites, their score represents twenty points plus eighteen points plus eight points, culminating in an O’Level total of forty-six points. Merging this score with the earlier UTME component of thirty points results in a cumulative aggregate screening rating of seventy-six percent.

Prospective undergraduates must ensure that all examination grades uploaded during the online BSU screening portal registration strictly match the certificates verified on official examination regulatory systems established by National Universities Commission guidelines. Inconsistencies between self-declared grades and authenticated scratch-card printouts lead to immediate disqualification during faculty physical clearance screening in Makurdi.

Benue State University gives statutory priority to candidates originating from designated Benue State local government catchment areas, alongside national merit quotas open to applicants across Nigeria. Candidates applying for highly subscribed disciplines such as Medicine, Nursing, Law, and Accounting should target an aggregate score of at least seventy percent to remain competitive on the primary merit admission list.

Applicants are advised to keep multiple photocopies of their online screening registration slips and bank payment receipts securely filed for presentation during final physical credential clearance at the university admissions office.
