UNIZIK Announces New Grading System For 2020/2021 Session Admissions

UNIZIK Announces New Grading System For 2020/2021 Session Admissions.

This is to inform the entire University community and the General Public that the PostUTME and other relevant Screening Examinations for the 2020/2021 admission exercise have been replaced with the O’level and UTME results grading system.

This is also in consideration of the very large number of applications and the need to comply with COVID-19 preventive guidelines of the Federal Government of Nigeria. In place of Post UTME Scores and other relevant Screening Examination Scores, the University Management has adopted an automated O’level subject grading system for the exercise.

In order to ensure transparency in the admission exercise, the following calculation formula will be used for the exercise.

UMTE CANDIDATES: Candidates will be screened based on their  JAMB scores and  O’level result for the four subjects taken in JAMB. The following considerations will apply:

A. RATIO  – The ratio will be  70:30.  i.e 70% JAMB  score and  30% O’level  subject score
70/100 = 0.7; 30/100 = 0.3

B. RANKING OF O’LEVEL SUBJECTS SCORE – O’level results will be ranked  as given below:
A1= 90
B2= 80
B3= 70
C4= 60
C5= 55
C6= 50
D7= 40
E8 to F9=0
Awaiting Result (AR) =0

For each candidate, the  O’level subjects used will be the subjects the candidate sat for in JAMB. E.g for a candidate who sat for  English, Mathematics, Chemistry, and  Physics in JAMB, the grades obtained in candidate O’level results in these subjects will be used to calculate the O’level points obtained.

C. BONUS – A candidate who credited his four subjects in a single sitting will get a bonus of 20 points (i.e Bonus =20).   A candidate who credited his four subjects in two sitting will get no bonus (i.e Bonus = 0).

D. CALCULATIONS –
Final score = [(JAMB SCORE`* 0.7) + [(O’level score + Bonus)*0.3]

Illustration: A student scored 280 in JAMB and had O’level results distributed as given in the table below:
