How To Calculate FUTO Post UTME/Aggregate Score For All Courses

Many Students find it hard to calculate their aggregate score and their cut off mark as this varies for different Institutions, but before this, we are going to tell you what aggregate and Post UTME Score means and what things are to be considered before calculating the aggregate score.

WHAT IS AGGREGATE SCORE

That means the candidate must get at least 50 Questions Correctly. The aggregate score will be used to determine the cut-off point for admission into each of the programmes. Cut-off points for each course will be determined by the performance of all the candidates who applied for the course.

WHAT IS POST UTME SCORE

After every UTME exercise, a particular mark is set out by the exam body {e.g 120}. This mark is a score a candidate must have or cross, to qualify him or her to sit for the chosen school’s POST UTME exercise. This said mark is announced to all school’s to enable them decide the number of candidates they will admit.
After the school’s decision, they announce a particular mark which must not be lower than the mark the UTME body fixed. Any candidate who cross the mark set by the UTME body and did not reach the chosen school’s mark, is NEVER eligible to sit for the school’s POST UTME.
This mark or score set by the school admission board is known as SCHOOL’S CUT OFF MARK..

Both scores are placed on a scale of 0-400 and then added together to come up with your final score. This means the JAMB score will be added to 4 times your post-UTME score and the total will be divided by 2.

To calculate FUTO Post UTME, you should know that 60 questions of your subject combination are summed in 100 marks. and when divided by your score, you arrive at your aggregate score.

How To Calculate FUTO Aggregate Score

HOW TO CALCULATE O’LEVEL

A1 = 6

Bs= 4

Cs = 3

Es= 2 Sum of grade/2

Note: You should remember that you need to calculate using only the five O’Level subjects needed for your course.

Lets Assume Treasure who wish to study Pharmacy has the following in her SSCE

Maths B

English A

Biology C

Physics B

Chemistry A

Therefore, her O’Level would be calculated as 4+ 6+3+4+6 = 23/2 = 11.5

HOW TO CALCULATE JAMB (UTME) SCORE

To calculate Treasure JAMB or UTME score, we need to divide her JAMB score by eight (8). This means that your final aggregate score is also dependent on your UTME score, so you need to perform better in UTME if you want your chances of securing admission into FUTO to be high.

For example, Treasure scored 250 in her JAMB, her total score will be divided by 8

250/8 = 31.25

Now, we have gotten Treasure’s O’Level grade score and UTME Score

HOW TO CALCULATE FUTO POST UTME SCORE

To calculate Treasure Post UTME , we need to divide her JAMB score by eight (8). This means that your final aggregate score is also dependent on your UTME score, so you need to perform better in UTME if you want your chances of securing admission into FUTO to be high.

For example, Treasure scored 50 in her Post UTME which is over 100

50/2= 25

AGGREGATE SCORE

Sum up the Jamb score we got and Post utme

31.25 + 25 = 56.25

Now add the O’Level Score which is 11.5

56.25 + 11.5= 67.75

Another short method of doing this is imagine Treasure scores 250 in her JAMB and 60 in her post UTME, aggregate score will be 250+ 60/8= 38.75
