Greetings to the esteemed members of the University community and the General Public! We are excited to announce the commencement of the 2023/2024 admission exercise at the prestigious University, marked by a groundbreaking automated O’level and UTME results grading system. To ensure a smooth process, candidates are urged to follow specific guidelines for the upcoming Post-UTME, Direct Entry, and other relevant screening examinations.
Important Instructions for Candidates:
All candidates must visit JAMB accredited CBT centers or JAMB offices to upload their O’level results on the JAMB CAPS Portal. It is crucial for consideration in the 2023/2024 admission exercise.
Avoid using regular/non-JAMB accredited cyber cafes for result uploads to the JAMB CAPS Portal to guarantee a smooth and transparent process.
Automated Grading System Calculation Formula:
The University has adopted a transparent and efficient calculation formula for the 2023/2024 admission exercise. Here’s a breakdown of the grading system:
For UTME Candidates:
A. Ratio: The screening will be based on a 70:30 ratio, with 70% attributed to UTME scores and 30% to O’level subject scores (70/100 = 0.7; 30/100 = 0.3).
B. Ranking of O’level Results Scores: O’level results will be ranked as follows:
- A1=90, B2= 80, 83= 70, C4= 60, C5=55, C6=50, D7, E8, and F9=0. Awaiting Result (AR)=0.
- The candidate’s O’level subjects will be those taken in the UTME.
C. Bonus: Candidates crediting all four O’level subjects in a single sitting will receive a bonus of 10 points; no bonus will be awarded for two sittings.
D. Calculations:
- Single Sitting: Final Score = (UTME score * 0.7) + [(O’level score + Bonus) * 0.3] Example: (280 * 0.7) + [(285 + 10) * 0.3] = 284.5
- Two Sitting: Final Score = (UTME score * 0.7) + [(O’level score) * 0.3] Example: (280 * 0.7) + [(285 + 0) * 0.3] = 281.5
Conclusion:
The University is committed to a fair and transparent admission process, incorporating an automated grading system for UTME candidates in the 2023/2024 admission exercise. Candidates are encouraged to adhere to the guidelines and upload their results promptly. We wish all applicants the best of luck in their academic journey at the prestigious University.
