How to Calculate Aggregate Score for KSU Admission Screening

To calculate the aggregate score for Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU, formerly Kogi State University – KSU) admission screening, you must divide your Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME score by eight and add it to your post-UTME computer-based screening test score divided by two. The university operates a cumulative one-hundred-point aggregate screening model where fifty percent is allocated to your Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination score and fifty percent is derived from your performance in the institutional post-UTME screening exercise across merit and catchment quotas.

The first calculation component converts your raw JAMB UTME score, which is scored out of four hundred marks, onto a fifty-point scale. Dividing your raw UTME mark by eight converts it directly into fifty points. For example, if an applicant scores two hundred and forty in JAMB UTME, dividing two hundred and forty by eight yields thirty points. A candidate scoring two hundred and eighty marks earns thirty-five points, while a candidate scoring three hundred and twenty marks receives forty points toward the institutional screening aggregate.

The second component evaluates your performance in the university’s computer-based post-UTME aptitude screening test conducted at the Anyigba campus, which is graded out of one hundred marks. Dividing your post-UTME test score by two scales it down to an equivalent fifty-point baseline. For instance, if an applicant scores seventy out of one hundred on the post-UTME screening test, dividing seventy by two yields thirty-five points. An applicant scoring eighty marks earns forty points, and a candidate achieving sixty marks secures thirty points toward the screening composite.

Summing your converted UTME points and your converted post-UTME screening points gives your final cumulative admission aggregate score over one hundred percent. If an applicant earns thirty-five points from JAMB UTME (representing a 280 score) and thirty-five points from the post-UTME screening test (representing a 70 score), their cumulative aggregate equals thirty-five plus thirty-five, resulting in an aggregate screening score of seventy percent.

Candidates must also satisfy the minimum O’Level prerequisites of five credit passes in relevant secondary subjects including English Language and Mathematics in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB in accordance with regulatory directives from the National Universities Commission.

Aspiring candidates for competitive programs such as Law, Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Computer Science, and Accounting should aim for an aggregate score above seventy percent to guarantee merit placement.

Applicants must monitor the official university admission portal and verify their profiles on the JAMB portal regularly.

Retaining certified duplicate printouts of screening registration receipts and result slips prevents verification complications during physical matriculation.

Accurate aggregate calculation allows prospective students to realistically gauge their departmental admission competitiveness before lists are finalized.

Maintaining valid contact details on the portal ensures candidates receive urgent administrative updates regarding screening timelines.

Admitted candidates should also ensure their local government indigene certificates are properly stamped by authorized liaison officers before arriving on campus.

Freshmen should also complete their medical test registrations at the university health center promptly following physical verification exercises.
