How to Calculate OAU Aggregate Score

In calculating your OAU aggregate, it is important to note that both JAMB UTME, OAU post UTME and O’level result must be considered together. O’level take just 10%, JAMB UTME takes 50% and Post UTME takes 40%. In total, everything is 100%. Now lets see how you can calculate your aggregate.

Step 1: Simply divide your Jamb score by 8

Step 2: Next, add it to your post UTME score.

Step 3: Now calculate your O’level result using the grading system below:

• A1 – 2.0 points
• B2 – 1.8 points
• B3 – 1.6 points
• C4 – 1.4 points
• C5 – 1.2 points
• C6 – 1.0 points

Note: This should be used to calculate the 5 subjects that are related to your desired course of study.

Step 4: Add the results in step 1, 2 and 3 above and that is your aggregate score.

Example: below is the calculation for a student who scored 280 in JAMB, 26 in OAU post UTME and had A, B2, B2, B3 and B3 in his O’level result.

Jamb score 280/8 = 35

Post UTME = 26

O’level = 2+1.8+1.8+1.6+1.6 = 8.8

His aggregate score is = 35+26+8.8 = 69.8

What to do if you didn’t meet up with the cutoff mark

First and foremost, you don’t have to panic if you didn’t meet the required cutoff mark above because that will not help at all. OAU usually release multiple admission list every year, and most times, factors like catchment area and Educational Less developed areas are put into consideration when offering admission.

So if you score slightly below the requirement, you might still be offered admission into the school (though not through the first admission list). Alternatively, you can consider changing your course or school to one that requires lesser cutoff mark.

OAU Admission Requirements for 2024/2025 

While you are checking the departmental cutoff mark for your course, it is important to know that OAU has other requirements that must be met before they will offer admission to any aspirant. Below are the UTME requirements for admission in OAU:
