The management of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has published the calculation formula that will be used for the PUTME screening exercise. This is to inform the entire University community and the General Public that Post UTME, Direct Entry, and other relevant screening examinations for the admission exercise will be conducted with an automated O’ level and UTME results grading system introduced last year by our University.
Candidates are advised to go to JAMB-accredited CBT centres/JAMB Offices and upload their O’ level results to JAMB CAPS Portal.
Please note that candidates should not use regular/non-JAMB accredited cyber cafes for result/s upload to the JAMB CAPS Portal. To ensure transparency in the admission exercise the following calculation formula will be used for the exercise.
Candidates will be screened based on their JAMB scores and O’level results for the four subjects taken in JAMB. The following considerations will apply:
A. RATIO – The ratio will be 70:30. i.e 70% JAMB score and 30% O’level subject score: 70/100 = 0.7; 30/100 = 0.3
B. RANKING OF O’LEVEL SUBJECTS SCORE – O’level results will be ranked as given below:
- A1= 90,
- B2= 80,
- B3= 70,
- C4= 60,
- C5= 55,
- C6= 50,
- D7, E8, and F9=0,
- Awaiting Result (AR) =0
For each candidate, the O’level subjects used will be the subjects the candidate sat for in JAMB. E.g. for a candidate who sat for English, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics in JAMB, the grades obtained in candidate’s O’level results in these subjects will be used to calculate the O’level points obtained.
C. BONUS – A candidate who credits his four subjects in a single sitting will get a bonus of 10 points (i.e. Bonus =10). A candidate who credited his four subjects in two sittings will get no bonus (i.e. Bonus = 0).
D. CALCULATIONS – Final score = [(JAMB SCORE`* 0.7) + [(O’level score + Bonus)*0.3]
Illustration: A student scored 285 in JAMB and had O’level results distributed as given in the table below:
Note to Mobile users: Scroll to the side to view all the contents in the table below:
| SUBJECTS | JAMB SCORES | O’LEVEL RESULTS | O’LEVEL SCORES |
| English | 66 | A1 | 90 |
| Mathematics | 78 | B3 | 70 |
| Physics | 70 | B3 | 70 |
| chemistry | 71 | B3 | 70 |
| TOTAL | 285 | 300 |
I. Single sitting:
Final score= Weighted JAMB score + Weighed O’level score
(285 x 0.7) + [ (300 +10) x 0.3]
= 199.5 + 93
= 292.5
II. Two sittings:
Weighted JAMB score + Weighed O’level score (285 x 0.7) + [ (300+ 0)x 0.3]
= 199.5 + 90
= 289.5
Note: The difference between the final screening scores of a candidate who credited his four subjects in a single sitting and the candidate who made it in two sittings is 3 (i.e 284.5- 281.5).
