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.

UNILAG Grading Point for 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 majority of the percentage (50% ) and this goes a long way to determine whether a student will be offered admission or not.

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

If 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 result 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 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%)

UNILAG Post UTME Grading Point

This carries 30% of the total point. UNILAG Post UTME is always on a grade 30. Let 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 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 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 assume the aggregate score we calculated earlier is for a student who want tostudy medicine and surgery in UNILAG.  UNILAG 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.
