How to Calculate Aggregate Score for UNIOSUN Post-UTME Admission Screening

Candidates can calculate their aggregate score for Osun State University Post-UTME admission screening by adding their scaled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination score contributing 60 percent to their five core O’Level credit point weights contributing 40 percent to generate a composite aggregate percentage over 100 percent.

Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Osogbo, operates a dynamic multi-campus institutional model that attracts thousands of applicants seeking admission into prestigious programmes across the College of Health Sciences, College of Law, College of Science, Engineering and Technology, College of Agriculture, and College of Management and Social Sciences. To evaluate nationwide applicants equitably without requiring candidates to travel long distances for physical screening tests, the university senate employs an automated, non-examination composite scoring model. This evaluation framework balances standardized national testing alongside cumulative secondary school achievement.

The first component of the UNIOSUN aggregate formula evaluates the candidate’s UTME score over 400 points, scaling it to contribute sixty percent (60 points) toward the final screening aggregate. To calculate this portion, the candidate multiplies their raw national entrance score by 0.15 (or divides by 400 and multiplies by 60). For instance, an applicant achieving a commendable score of 280 in the national entrance examination calculates 280 multiplied by 0.15, yielding 42.0 points. This mathematical weighting ensures that candidates who demonstrated solid academic preparation in national testing establish an advantageous baseline.

The second component evaluates the candidate’s five core secondary school O’Level subjects relevant to their chosen field of study, contributing the remaining forty percent (40 points). In the UNIOSUN point grading schedule, letter grades are assigned specific weights: an A1 grade earns 8 points, a B2 earns 7 points, a B3 earns 6 points, a C4 earns 5 points, a C5 earns 4 points, and a C6 earns 3 points. Passing all five mandatory subjects with A1 distinctions provides the maximum 40 points (5 times 8). A candidate presenting two A1s, two B2s, and one B3 earns 16 + 14 + 6 = 36 points. Adding the UTME component (42.0 points) to the O’Level component (36.0 points) produces a composite aggregate score of 78.0 percent.

The administrative authority managed by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board requires all degree-awarding institutions to register their verified aggregate scoring registers on the Central Admissions Processing System, ensuring that approved departmental carrying capacities govern all provisional admission offers.

Undergraduate accreditation guidelines enforced by the National Universities Commission ensure that institutional screening assessments preserve the academic rigor and competitive integrity of Nigerian university degrees.

Candidates from Osun State local government catchment zones should ensure that their indigeneship verification documents are authenticated before departmental screening begins. Mastering this composite calculation empowers UNIOSUN aspirants to evaluate their admission chances accurately and explore realistic course change options when necessary.
