How To Calculate UNN Screening Score

As the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is coming to an end, it is very important to note that your utme score only will not give you entrance into the university.

Before you can get admission into University of Nigeria, you must be graded based on your performance in the UTME and SSCE. This Screening score issue began last year when the former JAMB Boss declared that there will be no more POSTUME in Tertiary Institutions. Different Institution brought out their method of calculating the screening score of candidates.

The Management of University of Nigeria, Nsukka also brought out their simple but reliable method of calculating the screening scores of candidates.

In this post, at the end of the tutorial, you will be able to calculate the screening scores of yourself and that of your friends.

How To Calculate UNN Screening Score

O’Level Scores and their Grades

A1 — 100%

B2 — 90%

B3 – – 80%

C4 — 70%

C5 — 60%

C6 — 50%

D7 — 40%

E8 — 30%

F9 — 20%

The equation for calculating Screening score:

Screening Score = (60/100 x JAMB Score) + (40/100 x WAEC Score).

Take for example that your chose English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in your WAEC, and the scores are respectively B2, A1, B3 and C5, using the grading system above,

WAEC SCORE  — 90 + 100 + 80 + 60 =330

JAMB SCORE — 290

Screening Score = [60/100 x 290] + [40/100 x 330] = 174 + 132 = 306.

Now that you have learned how to calculate your screening score, what next?

As candidates await the release of SSCE results, I advice you to anticipate success instead of failure. But for those of you that have already seen your result, this will help you know your stand during admission/screening exercise.

In the next post, I will also show you the disadvantages of combining results ie WAEC and NECO during screening process.
