This guide provides instructions for calculating the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka (UNIZIK) screening Aggregate score for the 2024/2025 academic session. The process will be presented in a step-by-step format for clarity, accompanied by an illustrative example.
For individuals seeking information on the anticipated UNIZIK screening Aggregate score for the current year, the wait is almost over. Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, is considered the premier university in Nigeria for pursuing diverse academic disciplines.
Established in 1991, the university has garnered significant acclaim nationwide. The UNIZIK aggregate score denotes the average score, serving as the departmental cut-off mark for a specific course. Attainment of your department's aggregate (average) score is a prerequisite for admission.
The calculation of the UNIZIK Screening Aggregate Score for the 2024/2025 academic session involves two main components: the UTME score and the O’level subject score.
For UTME candidates, 70% of the UTME score and 30% of the O’level subject score are considered.
Additionally, O’level results are ranked as follows:
- A1=90
- B2=80
- B3=70
- C4=60
- C5=55
- C6=50
- D7=0
- E8=0
- F9=0
- Awaiting Result (AR)=0
The calculation process is as follows:
- Calculate the weighted UTME score (70% of your UTME score).
- Calculate the weighted O’level score (30% of your O’level score + bonus).
- Add both scores to obtain the final screening score.
Moreover, a bonus of 10 points is awarded for crediting four O’level subjects in a single sitting, while no bonus points are given for crediting four O’level subjects in two sittings. This is essential to consider in determining the final screening score.
To illustrate, if a candidate credits four O’level subjects in a single sitting, the calculation would be as follows: (285 x 0.7) + [(300+10) x 0.3] = 292.5. Conversely, if a candidate completes the O’level subjects in two sittings, the calculation would be: (285 x 0.7) + [(300+0) x 0.3] = 289.5.
Consequently, there is a 3-point difference in the final screening scores between a candidate who credits the four O’level subjects in a single sitting and a candidate who completes them in two sittings.
