How to Calculate UNIZIK Post-UTME Screening Score 2025

Calculating your Post-UTME screening score is a crucial step in securing admission to Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) for the 2025 academic session. UNIZIK employs a transparent and automated grading system that evaluates candidates based on their UTME (JAMB) scores and O’Level results. Understanding this calculation method will help you assess your eligibility and prepare effectively for the admission process.

UNIZIK Post-UTME Screening Score Calculation

The screening score is derived from a combination of your UTME score and O’Level grades, weighted in a 70:30 ratio respectively. Here’s a step-by-step guide to calculating your score:

1. UTME Score Weighting (70%):

   • Formula: UTME Score × 0.7
   • Example: If you scored 280 in UTME: 280 × 0.7 = 196

2. O’Level Results Weighting (30%):

   • Grading System:
     • A1 = 90
     • B2 = 80
     • B3 = 70
     • C4 = 60
     • C5 = 55
     • C6 = 50
     • D7 = 25
     • E8 to F9 = 0
     • Awaiting Result (AR) = 0
   • Calculation:
     • Sum the grades of the four subjects taken in UTME.
     • Example: Grades: English (A1), Mathematics (B3), Physics (B3), Chemistry (C5)
       • English: A1 = 90
       • Mathematics: B3 = 70
       • Physics: B3 = 70
       • Chemistry: C5 = 55
       • Total: 90 + 70 + 70 + 55 = 285
     • Bonus:
       • Single Sitting: Add 10 points
       • Two Sittings: No bonus
     • Example: Single Sitting Total = 285 + 10 = 295
     • Weighted O’Level Score: Total O’Level Score × 0.3
       • Example: 295 × 0.3 = 88.5

3. Final Screening Score:

   • Formula: (UTME Score × 0.7) + (Weighted O’Level Score)
   • Example: 196 (UTME) + 88.5 (O’Level) = 284.5

For candidates using two sittings for O’Level results, the absence of the 10-point bonus will slightly reduce the final score.
