It is no longer news that a point system will be used for admission
screening into Nigerian tertiary institutions for the 2016/2017
academic session. This was agreed upon by stakeholders in the
education section. The agreement and moralities for the admission
screening was later released and published by JAMB.
It will interest all admission-seekers to know that it is no longer
business as usual. Submitting two WAEC/NECO/GCE results (i.e two
sittings) is no longer the same with submitting one sitting for
admission. Candidates who submit O'level at one sitting have an
advantage over their counterparts with two sittings. It will
contribute ti your total points that determines if you meet the
cut-off marks.
In this new admission system, admission would depend on the point
tally of the candidate calculated using their O'level results
(subjects grades) and their JAMB score. Here is how this would be
calculated.
*.Any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her
relevant subjects already has 10 points. The exam could be NECO,
WASSCE, November/December WASSCE etc, but any candidate who has two
sittings only gets 2 points.
*.O' Level grade points: Each grade would have it equivalent point;
A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks.
*.UTME scores points: where each score range has its equivalent point
which can be summarised thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33
points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points.
*.For example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20 points, while a
candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points.
Please be informed that FEES WILL STILL BE CHARGED for the screening
exercise. Also,catchment and educationally less-developed statewould
still be used for admission from the 2016/2017 academic session.
HOW TO DO THE CALCULATIONS
SITTINGS:Let's say you had all your required O'level subjects in one
sitting, you have 10 marks there already.
O'LEVEL:Now, let's assume you have 2 As, 3 Bs and 4 Cs in your O'level
result (WAEC/NECO/GCE), then you have, (2×6) + (3×4) + (3×3) = 33
Points
JAMB SCORE:Let's assume you score 200 in JAMB, you have 24 Points there.
Summing everything together, we have SITTINGS POINT + O LEVEL POINT + JAMB POINT
Your calculated total point for admission is now 10 + 33 + 24 =67 Points.
Now, you can only pray that the admission cut-off mark for your course
is not more than 60 to have a high chance of getting admission into
the institution of your choice.
