How to Calculate Aggregate Score for OAU Admission Screening

To calculate the aggregate score for Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) admission screening, you must divide your JAMB UTME score by eight and combine it with your scaled OAU post-UTME computer-based screening test score. Obafemi Awolowo University adopts a cumulative one-hundred-point aggregate formula where your Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board score accounts for fifty percent and your institutional computer-based aptitude test contributes fifty percent toward your overall departmental placement score.

The first stage involves processing your raw JAMB UTME score, which is scored out of four hundred marks. To convert this result to a fifty-point baseline, divide your raw UTME mark by eight. For example, if a candidate secures a score of two hundred and eighty in JAMB UTME, dividing two hundred and eighty by eight yields exactly thirty-five points. A candidate scoring three hundred and twenty marks receives forty points, while a candidate scoring two hundred and forty marks earns thirty points toward the cumulative institutional screening rating.

The second stage involves taking the official OAU post-UTME aptitude screening test, administered via computer-based testing at the Ile-Ife campus or approved digital centers. The OAU post-UTME screening test is commonly evaluated over forty or fifty raw marks, which the university screening committee scales onto an equivalent fifty-point system. If the screening test is graded out of forty marks, your score is multiplied by 1.25 to translate it to fifty points. If it is graded out of one hundred marks, dividing your screening score by two yields the required fifty-point fraction. For instance, scoring thirty out of forty on the test gives thirty multiplied by 1.25, which equals thirty-seven point five points.

The final aggregate score is derived by adding your converted UTME points directly to your scaled post-UTME screening test points. If an applicant earned thirty-five points from JAMB UTME and thirty-seven point five points from the screening test, the overall aggregate score is thirty-five plus thirty-seven point five, resulting in a total screening aggregate of seventy-two point five 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 highly competitive faculties such as Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Computer Science should aim for an aggregate score above seventy-five 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.
