To calculate the aggregate score for Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) admission screening, you must divide your Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME score by eight and add it to your Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) O’Level grading points calculated across your five core disciplines. TASUED implements a standardized hundred-point admission evaluation model where fifty percent is allocated to your unified tertiary entrance score and fifty percent is derived from your cumulative secondary school examination results.
The first component of the calculation processes your official JAMB score out of four hundred marks. By dividing your total UTME score by eight, your performance is scaled directly onto a fifty-point baseline. For example, an applicant who scores two hundred and forty in the UTME achieves thirty points, a candidate scoring two hundred and eighty secures thirty-five points, and an applicant scoring three hundred and twenty marks secures forty points toward their final TASUED screening total.
The second component evaluates your five compulsory O’Level subjects, which must include English Language, Mathematics, and three disciplines aligned with your chosen department as specified in the official JAMB brochure. TASUED assigns specific point values to letter grades obtained in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB: an A1 grade confers ten points, a B2 confers nine points, a B3 confers eight points, a C4 confers seven points, a C5 confers six points, and a C6 confers five points. Sub-credit grades below C6 receive zero points.
Summing the scores of your five primary disciplines produces an O’Level rating out of a maximum achievable total of fifty points. If a candidate attains 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 a UTME component of thirty-five points results in an aggregate screening rating of eighty-one percent.
Prospective undergraduates must ensure that all examination grades uploaded during the online TASUED 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 Ijagun.
Candidates applying for competitive education and science disciplines such as Computer Science Education, Biology Education, English Education, and Political Science Education should target an aggregate score of at least sixty-five 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.
In addition, candidates utilizing two sittings must note that presenting combined results does not attract a penalty at TASUED provided that all required five credits are earned across WAEC and NECO within accredited secondary school exam cycles.
Retaining certified duplicate printouts of both screening submission receipts and examination scratch cards ensures immediate resolution should registry officials require physical verification during matriculation.
Extremely clear and helpful explanation. This cleared up the exact questions my study group was having regarding this process.
This was really helpful and timely. Thank you for consistently publishing reliable educational resources for students across Nigeria.
Very informative post. I wish our secondary school guidance counselor had explained this so thoroughly.
Great article. The distinction you highlighted between the institutional requirements and the general regulations is very important.
Bookmarking this right away. This is by far the most detailed article on this topic I have come across online.
Please, does this same policy apply to candidates who sat for WAEC GCE as private candidates rather than internal school candidates?
Thank you for asking. Yes, WAEC GCE (private candidate) certificates and results carry the exact same legal and academic validity as internal school candidate results for admission and institutional clearance purposes. When filling portal documentation, ensure your exam year, center number, and candidate number match your official result slip exactly.
Very practical breakdown. It is reassuring to find verified information without all the rumors circulating on social media.
Quick question please: if an applicant has already completed the initial registration, can changes still be made within the correction window without penalty?
Great question. Yes, most examination and admission bodies allow data corrections during the designated modification window before final data lock. However, ensure that any biometric, course, or institution amendments are processed strictly through accredited CBT or administrative centers to prevent profile suspension or upload mismatch.
Thank you for this detailed guide! The step-by-step breakdown makes it very straightforward to navigate.
Thank you EduTalks! My sister was worried about this exact issue yesterday, sharing this with her immediately.
