How to Calculate Aggregate Score for UNIMAID Admission Screening

To calculate the aggregate score for University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) admission screening, you must divide your Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME score by eight and combine it with your post-UTME screening evaluation score divided by two. The University of Maiduguri utilizes a cumulative one-hundred-point screening framework where fifty percent is allocated to your performance in the national unified entrance examination and fifty percent is determined by your institutional post-UTME screening evaluation or credentials grading across merit, catchment, and educationally less developed state (ELDS) quotas.

The first component converts your raw JAMB UTME score, which is graded out of four hundred marks, onto a fifty-point scale. To complete this conversion, divide your raw UTME mark by eight. For example, if a candidate scores two hundred and forty in JAMB UTME, dividing two hundred and forty by eight yields exactly thirty points. An applicant scoring two hundred and eighty marks earns thirty-five points, while a high-achieving candidate scoring three hundred and twenty marks secures forty points toward their institutional screening composite.

The second component evaluates your UNIMAID post-UTME screening test or institutional digital screening assessment, which is graded over one hundred marks. Dividing your post-UTME screening mark by two scales it down to an equivalent fifty-point baseline. For example, if an applicant scores seventy out of one hundred on the post-UTME screening assessment, dividing seventy by two yields thirty-five points. Similarly, a candidate who scores eighty on the screening exam secures forty points, and an applicant achieving sixty marks earns thirty points toward the screening composite.

Summing your converted UTME points and your converted post-UTME screening points yields your final cumulative UNIMAID admission aggregate score over one hundred percent. If a candidate secures thirty-five points from JAMB UTME and thirty-five points from the post-UTME screening assessment, their cumulative screening aggregate equals thirty-five plus thirty-five, representing an aggregate score of seventy percent.

Prospective undergraduates must also satisfy the minimum statutory O’Level requirements, possessing at least five credit passes in relevant secondary subjects including English Language and Mathematics in their Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) validated by the National Universities Commission. Inconsistencies between self-declared grades and official examination archives result in immediate disqualification during physical verification in Maiduguri, Borno State.

Candidates applying for competitive programs such as Medicine and Surgery, Medical Laboratory Science, Law, and Nursing should aim for an aggregate score of at least seventy-two percent to remain competitive on the primary merit admission list.

Applicants must monitor the official university admission portal and verify their candidate 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.
