How to Calculate EKSU Aggregate Score
EKSU Aggregate Score Calculation Method
Ekiti State University calculates candidates’ aggregate scores using a 100% grading system, broken down as follows:
- O’Level Result – 40%
- JAMB Result – 60%
Step 1: O’Level Score (40%)
Each of the five required O’Level subjects is graded as follows:
- A1 = 8 points
- B2 = 7 points
- B3 = 6 points
- C4 = 5 points
- C5 = 4 points
- C6 = 3 points
- D7 = 2 points
- E8 = 1 point
- F9 = 0 point
Add the points for the five subjects. The maximum obtainable score is 40 points.
Example:
- Mathematics (C4) = 5
- English (A1) = 8
- Chemistry (A1) = 8
- Biology (A1) = 8
- Physics (B2) = 7
- Total O’Level Score = 36/40
Step 2: JAMB Score (60%)
Use the formula below to calculate your JAMB contribution:
(JAMB Score ÷ 400) × 60
Example:
If your JAMB score is 280:
(280 ÷ 400) × 60 = 42
Step 3: Final Aggregate Score
Add both scores together:
O’Level Score = 36
JAMB Score = 42
Final EKSU Aggregate Score = 78%
