How to calculate your own composite/aggregate/cut off
Jamb Score/8 + Post UTME score = Composite score.
For example
Someone who scores 200 in JAMB and 25 in Post UTME has a composite of 50.
200/8 + 25 = 50
More importantly, we now have a team of Course Advisers who are always available and willing to guide you with matters relating to your admission this year. You should take advantage of this rare opportunity as you are preparing for this year UTME Exams.
