How to Calculate Your OAU Aggregate Score One of the most important aspects of the OAU admission process is understanding how your aggregate score is computed. OAU adopts a 50:40:10 admission weighting structure , combining UTME performance, Post-UTME performance and O'Level grades. OAU Aggregate Formula Aggregate Score = (JAMB ÷ 8) + Post-UTME Score + (O'Level Points ÷ 5) Total Score = 100% Step 1: Calculate Your JAMB Contribution (50%) Divide your UTME score by 8. Example UTME Score: 280 280 ÷ 8 = 35 JAMB Contribution = 35 Marks Step 2: Calculate Your Post-UTME Contribution (40%) Use your raw Post-UTME score directly. Example Post-UTME Score: 30 Contribution = 30 Marks Step 3: Calculate Your O'Level Contribution (10%) Select your best five relevant subjects, including: English Language Mathematics Three other subjects relevant to your course Use the following grading scale: GradePoints A1 10 B2 9 B3 8 C4 7 C5 6 C6 5 Add the points and divide the total by 5. Example English – A1 = 10 Mathematics – B2 = 9 Physics – B3 = 8 Chemistry – B2 = 9 Biology – B3 = 8 Total = 44 44 ÷ 5 = 8.8 O'Level Contribution = 8.8 Marks Complete Aggregate Example ComponentScore JAMB (280 ÷ 8) 35 Post-UTME 30 O'Level (44 ÷ 5) 8.8 Final Aggregate 35 + 30 + 8.8 = 73.8% Aggregate Score = 73.8% OAU Admission Competitiveness Prospective candidates should understand that meeting the minimum UTME requirement does not automatically guarantee admission. Highly competitive programmes such as: Medicine and Surgery Nursing Science Law Pharmacy Computer Science Engineering Medical Rehabilitation typically require significantly higher aggregate scores due to intense competition. Candidates are encouraged to aim for the highest possible scores in both UTME and Post-UTME examinations. Important Advice for Candidates Before the admission exercise concludes, ensure that: Your O'Level results have been uploaded on JAMB CAPS. Your subject combination is correct. Your personal details match across all submitted documents. You regularly monitor the OAU portal for updates. You keep copies of all registration and payment documents. Failure to comply with admission guidelines may affect your admission consideration.
