UNIZIK Official 2025/2026 Post-UTME Screening Formula: How to Calculate Your Final Screening Score
What Every Candidate Must Know
Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, Anambra State, has released the official formula for calculating Post-UTME screening scores for the 2025/2026 admission cycle. According to the University’s Registrar and Secretary to Senate, Dr. Chineye Gloria Okeke, the method ensures transparency and fairness in the admission process.
📌 What Your UNIZIK Screening Is Based On
- UTME score
- O’Level (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) grades in four core subjects relevant to your chosen course (as on JAMB).
✅ Calculation Breakdown
A) Weighting Ratio
- UTME: 70%
- O’Level: 30%
Formula: (UTME score × 0.7) + (O’Level Score × 0.3)
B) O’Level Grade → Point Table (per subject)
| Grade | Point |
|---|---|
| A1 | 90 |
| B2 | 80 |
| B3 | 70 |
| C4 | 60 |
| C5 | 55 |
| C6 | 50 |
| D7 / E8 / F9 | 0 |
| AR (Awaiting Result) | 0 |
Only the four relevant core subjects for your course are used.
C) Bonus Points
- Single sitting: +10 points
- Two sittings: +0 points
📊 Worked Example
Candidate: UTME score = 285
O’Level Grades (4 relevant subjects)
| Subject | Grade | Point |
|---|---|---|
| English | B3 | 70 |
| Biology | A1 | 90 |
| Physics | C4 | 60 |
| Chemistry | B2 | 80 |
| Total | 300 |
Single Sitting Calculation
- UTME contribution: 285 × 0.7 = 199.5
- O’Level + bonus: (300 + 10) × 0.3 = 93
- Final screening score: 199.5 + 93 = 292.5
Two Sittings Calculation (No Bonus)
- UTME contribution: 285 × 0.7 = 199.5
- O’Level: 300 × 0.3 = 90
- Final screening score: 199.5 + 90 = 289.5
Conclusion: Single sitting yields a higher aggregate (292.5) than two sittings (289.5) due to the +10 bonus. The difference here is 3.0 points.
🧮 How to Calculate Your Own Score (Step-by-Step)
- List the four relevant O’Level subjects for your course and convert each grade to points using the table.
- Add the four points to get your O’Level total (max 360 if all A1, but UNIZIK uses 4 subjects × 90 = 360; here, the example totals 300).
- If your grades are from one sitting, add +10 bonus; if from two sittings, add +0.
- Compute:
(UTME × 0.7) + (O’Level total × 0.3).
⚠️ Important Notes
- Upload your O’Level results to both JAMB CAPS and the UNIZIK Portal.
- Use only JAMB-accredited CBT centres for uploads—non-JAMB centres will not be accepted.
- AR (Awaiting Result) or failing grades score 0 until updated with valid results.
