How To Calculate Departmental cut-off mark.

NOTE: All Institutions do not have the same cut-off mark; as they each have their different departmental cut-off for each course which they may likely change with the changing academic session.

Method (1)

Let's say, you are aspiring for pharmacy in UNIBEN and they have their departmental cut-off for studying pharmacy set at 75.

So, let’s assume you scored 66 points in Post UTME and 250 in UTME since post UTME and JAMB are over 100 and 400 respectively.

So, let’s carry out the exercise and see if you are qualified to study pharmacy at the University of Benin.

1). First of all, you will have to divide your post UTME score by 2 which is 66/2=33

Also your jamb score by 8 which is 250/8=31.25

Add the two answers together which will be something like this 31.25+33=64.25

The arithmetic above proves that the aspiring UNIBEN candidate is not qualified to study pharmacy at UNIBEN despite having a good score.

So, the method for calculating your departmental cut-off mark for all schools with this method is to divide your jamb score by 8 and post UTME score by 2.

 Method (2)

This method doesn’t require students to write post UTME, it centers around pure screening

The only two things that will be required of you are your JAMB as well as your ‘O’ level result. Unlike others where you have departmental cut-off marks, this method doesn’t require any departmental cut-off marks, but the higher your JAMB score, the higher your chances of being admitted into the institution. Some of the Universities that employ this method include the Delta state university of science and technology Ozoro DSUST, University of Delta Agbor, also used this method in 2021 but did Post-UTME in 2022 and the University of ABUJA and Others.

 

 Method (3)

In this method the results from your post UTME, jamb, and o level grades are used to calculate your departmental cut-off mark.

PROCEDURE:

On like the first and second method this method is more technical, but it's also very easy, but very confusing as Departmental cut-off mark will be deter from three different exam results as state earlier...

1. You will Divide your JAMB score by 8 as was done in the first method.

2. The Post-Utme grade, in this method are over 20.19.

3. Your o-level grades are total over 30.

 

We will explain how to calculate your O level result, just continue reading.

How To Calculate Your O Level Grade For Admission

Every institutions only requires five subjects from your O'LEVEL which must include Maths and English and any other three subject relevant to the course You are applying for, also note most Nigeria Universities permit two sitting, by two sitting I mean combination of two O'LEVEL Result to get the required five subjects . 

You can visit Jamb website to check the admission O'LEVEL requirements for each course, based on University.

Most institutions whose O'LEVEL requirements is only five o-level subjects have the A1 equal to 6 points.

 This simply means if you score 5A”s in the required O'LEVEL subjects, then you have already had 30 marks.

A1 = 6 points

B2 = 5 points

B3 = 4 points

C4 = 3 points

C5 = 2 points

C6 = 1 point

Lets assume a candidate applying for civil engineering in Delsu and the departmental cut of mark is 70. Below is how to calculate the departmental cut-off mark with the third method

For instance, if the candidates JAMB score was 250 while the candidate scored 15 for post UTME and have 5As, in the required subject for civil engineering. Below is how his/her cutoff mark will be calculated.

Candidate Jamb -> 250/8=31.25

Candidate O'LEVEL result (5A = 5×6 point = 30)

 In this method, dividing the post UTME score is not required.

Next proceed to add the divided jamb score, O'LEVEL points and Post-utme score.

31.25+30+15=76.25.

From the end result of the calculation, this candidate is qualify to study Civil Engineering at DELSU.

Please Note This: scoring above the Departmental cut-off mark doesn't guarantee your Admission to any course or university , this is because, every course has its own admission quota, that's the total number of students they are permitted to admit in a particular course. 

So, also pray while you focus on have high grades...

Thank you, Please share the post as you do I pray you get admission this year.
