UNIZIK Calculation Formula for 2025/2026 Post UTME Screening
Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka has released the official formula for calculating admission scores for the 2025/2026 screening. The process combines UTME and O’level grades with a set ratio and bonus marks. Candidates are urged to upload results correctly to both JAMB CAPS and UNIZIK portals.
The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka has made public the formula it will apply in admitting students for the 2025/2026 academic session. This method will affect Post-UTME, Direct Entry, and other related screenings.
It is an automated system that mixes UTME scores with O’level results in a set ratio, giving everyone a fair shot. But it is also strict, so missing steps may cost an applicant their place.
Key Instructions for Candidates
Applicants are expected to:
- Upload their O’level results to the JAMB CAPS Portal only at JAMB-accredited CBT centres or offices.
- Avoid regular cyber cafés, as results from such places may not be recognised.
- Ensure the same O’level results are uploaded on both JAMB CAPS and the UNIZIK portal.
Skipping any of these could lead to disqualification, so attention to detail matters.
How the UNIZIK Admission Formula Works
The screening pulls data from two areas, UTME scores and O’level grades, then blends them using a ratio.
- Ratio applied: 70% UTME score and 30% O’level score.
- Grading of O’level results:
- A1 = 90
- B2 = 80
- B3 = 70
- C4 = 60
- C5 = 55
- C6 = 50
- D7, E8, F9 = 0
- Awaiting Result (AR) = 0
- Subjects considered: Only the same four subjects a candidate sat for in UTME will be scored in O’level.
- Bonus:
- One sitting = +10 points
- Two sittings = no bonus
Formula
Final Score = (UTME score × 0.7) + {(O’level score + Bonus) × 0.3}
Example Calculation
Let’s take a student who scored 285 in UTME with the following O’level grades:
- English – B3 = 70
- Biology – A1 = 90
- Physics – C4 = 60
- Chemistry – B2 = 80
Total O’level score = 300
- Single Sitting: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 10) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 93 = 292.5
- Two Sittings: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 0) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 90 = 289.5
The gap between single and two sittings here is just 3 points, but those little points can sometimes tilt the table.
Closing Thoughts
The method is straightforward yet demanding. UNIZIK has shown its hand early so candidates can prepare wisely. The task is clear, upload your results properly, know how your grades are scored, and walk into the process with open eyes.
