How to Calculate ESUT Aggregate Score
Your aggregate score is the final score ESUT uses to decide if you’ll be admitted. It combines your:
- JAMB UTME score
- and Post-UTME score
Yes, ESUT still conducts Post-UTME, unlike some schools.
Steps On How To Calculate ESUT Aggregate Score
- Divide your JAMB score by 2
- Divide your post UTME score by 2
- Add both scores after division
- The total is your ESUT aggregate score
Here’s the formula:
Aggregate Score=(UTME score/2)+(Post-UTME score/2)
Note: Both your JAMB and Post-UTME scores are each given a 50% weight. So the maximum aggregate you can get is 100.
For Example
Let’s say you scored:
- UTME: 260
- Post-UTME: 70
- Now do the math:
- UTME: 260 ÷ 2 = 130 ÷ 2 = 65
- Post-UTME: 70 ÷ 2 = 35
- Aggregate Score = 65 + 35 = 100

Note: Please note that these scores are not the official scores for this yeah but are approximations and may vary from year to year based on the competition and overall performance of candidates.
What If I Scored Low in JAMB or Post-UTME?
- Do better in one: If JAMB is low, boost your Post-UTME. It balances out.
- Change course: Pick a course with less competition.
- Use supplementary form: ESUT sometimes offers this for those who didn’t meet their course cut-off.
- Try again: You can write JAMB next year better prepared.
How to Boost Your Admission Chances
- Practice past ESUT Post-UTME questions (they often repeat).
- Aim for 70+ in Post-UTME to be on the safe side.
- Ensure your O’level results are uploaded to JAMB CAPS.
- Choose a course that matches your score strength.
- Keep an eye on ESUT’s admission updates.
