How to Calculate Aggregate Score for KASU Kaduna Admission Screening

To calculate the aggregate score for Kaduna State University (KASU) 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 O’Level grade evaluations across your five mandatory subjects. KASU employs a weighted percentage system designed to equitably measure candidates’ unified matriculation performance alongside institutional screening examinations and secondary school academic excellence.

The computation begins with your official JAMB result, which carries a fifty percent weighting in the comprehensive admission model. By dividing your overall UTME score out of four hundred by eight, you convert your score directly to a fifty-point scale. For example, a candidate who scores two hundred and eighty in UTME earns thirty-five points out of fifty, whereas an applicant scoring two hundred and forty secures thirty points, and a score of two hundred yields twenty-five points toward the screening composite.

The remaining fifty percent is distributed between KASU’s post-UTME aptitude screening test and the candidate’s Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) results. For faculties administering a computer-based screening test, the test is scored out of thirty or forty percent, while the candidate’s five core O’Level subjects contribute the residual percentage. The five subjects must include English Language, Mathematics, and three disciplines directly relevant to the chosen course of study as approved on the JAMB official portal.

When O’Level grades are evaluated numerically, KASU allocates points based on standard quality bands: an A1 grade earns the highest allocation, followed progressively by B2, B3, C4, C5, and C6. Grades below credit level, such as D7, E8, or F9, receive zero points and cannot fulfill prerequisite entry requirements. Applicants presenting single-sitting results often receive an advantageous evaluation over two-sitting submissions during competitive departmental selections.

Once your UTME points, post-UTME test score, and O’Level points are summed, the resulting total represents your final KASU aggregate score out of one hundred percent. This aggregate determines your position on departmental merit lists, state catchment quotas, and educationally less developed local government quotas in alignment with regulations approved by the National Universities Commission.

Kaduna State University gives statutory priority to candidates originating from designated Kaduna State local government catchment zones, including Kaduna North, Kaduna South, Zaria, and Southern Kaduna administrative areas, while reserving a merit quota for applicants from across Nigeria. Candidates must ensure that all details uploaded during KASU portal registration match their verified physical documents.

During physical clearance screening at the KASU main campus along Tafawa Balewa Way in Kaduna, admitted candidates are required to present original copies of their JAMB result slip, O’Level certificates, local government certificate of origin, birth certificate, and official screening registration printouts. Any discrepancies between self-declared grades and authenticated examination records will result in instant disqualification.
