Learn how to calculate UNIBEN aggregate score using your JAMB and Post-UTME results. Simple formula, clear examples, and cut-off insights for all courses.
If you’re aiming to study at the University of Benin (UNIBEN), one of the most important steps is understanding how your aggregate score is calculated.
Your JAMB and Post-UTME scores are combined using a simple formula to determine if you meet the departmental cut-off mark for your desired course.
In this post, I’ll break it down for you step by step, with real life examples, so you can confidently check your chances of gaining admission.
How to Calculate UNIBEN Aggregate Score
Your aggregate score is what UNIBEN uses to decide if you qualify for admission into your chosen course. It’s a combination of
- Your JAMB score and
- Post-UTME score.
Some schools include WAEC or NECO results, but UNIBEN does not.
Steps On How To Calculate UNIBEN Aggregate Score
- Divide Your JAMB score by 8
- Divide your post-UTME score 2
- Add the two scores after division
- The total is your aggregate score
- Here’s the formula
- Aggregate = (JAMB Score / 8) + (Post-UTME Score / 2)
For example
Let’s say you scored:
- JAMB: 280
- Post-UTME: 72
- Using the formula: Aggregate = (JAMB Score / 8) + (Post-UTME Score / 2)
- JAMB: 280 ÷ 8 = 35
- Post-UTME: 72 ÷ 2 = 36
- So your aggregate score would be:
- 35 + 36 = 71
