UNILAG Grading System | How To Calculate Aggregrate Score

UNILAG grading system for undergraduate admission has been one thing many students who are seeking admission into the school want to know about. Not only this, fresh students are also curious to know the school grade points and how to calculate Grade Point Aggregate (GPA).

This article is written to answer all the above issues in a way to get prospective students and freshers to know more about the school.

Before I go to the major aim of the article, I would like to provide you with some information about the University Of Lagos. UNILAG was established in 1962 and presently has 12 faculties which include Arts, Basic Medical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, Social Sciences, Science, Environmental Sciences, Education, Dental Sciences, and Business Administration.

The University of Lagos is one of the best Universities in Nigeria and also one of the most preferred schools in Nigeria.

Now to the major aim of this post “UNILAG Grading System”. I will first discuss how to calculate your aggregate score for you to stand a chance of gaining admission into the school.

Prospective Students

Here I will be explaining to you how you can calculate your aggregate score. This will inform you where you stand in the UNILAG admission process.

JAMB Score

The JAMB score carries the majority of the percentage (50% ) and this goes a long way to determining whether a student will be offered admission or not.

The 50% means = 400 scores in JAMB divided by 8 = 50. Now if you want to calculate yours, divide whatever you score in JAMB by 8.

For instance, if you score 280 in JAMB, your grade point will be 280 divided by 8 = 35%

WAEC/NECO/GCE Point

This part takes 20% of the total aggregate score. Below is how UNILAG grade WAEC/NECO results of candidates

• A1 – 4.0
• B2 – 3.6
• B3 – 3.2
• C4 – 2.8
• C5 – 2.4
• C6 – 2.0

This means if you have an A1 in Mathematics, B3 in English Language, B2 in Physics, B3 in Chemistry, and C4 in Biology, your total grade point for this will be (4 + 3.2 + 3.6 + 3.2 + 2.8 = 16.8%)

The screening exercise (PUTME) carries 30% of the total point. UNILAG Post UTME is always on a grade 30. Let’s assume you have 20 out of the 30, this will make it 20%.

Your total aggregate will then be JAMB score (35%) + WAEC/NECO/GCE grade (16.8%) + Post UTME Grade (20%) = 71.8%

Note: Candidate Must Score a MINIMUM OF (12/30) in Post-UTME and score 200 and above in JAMB to be considered for admission.

This part will not be concluded until I include the UNILAG cut-off mark for admission. This will help you to know where you stand after you have known your aggregate score.

For example, many students want to study medicine and surgery and let’s assume the aggregate score we calculated earlier is for a student who wants to study medicine and surgery in UNILAG.  UNILAG’s cut-off mark for medicine and surgery is 77.03 and the aggregate score for the student I calculated who wanted to study medicine and surgery is 71.0. This means this particular person’s name will not come out in the merit list although he might be considered later.

Undergraduate Students

The grade point in UNILAG for undergraduate students is 5. Below is what the grading system looks like:

• First Class Division: (70 – 100% with 5.00 – 4.50 CGPA)
• Second Class Upper Division: (60 – 69% with 4.49 – 3.50 CGPA)
• Second Class Lower Division: (55 – 59% with 3.49 – 2.40 CGPA)
• Third Class Division: (45 – 49% with 2.39 – 1.50)

From the classes of grade above, a student who desires a first class should aim at scoring 70 and above, especially in courses with 2, 3, and 4 units.
