UNICAL Aggregate Score Calculator

UNICAL is reported to average your UTME score and your post-UTME score, so each counts for half of the aggregate.

How UNICAL calculates your aggregate score

Aggregate = UTME ÷ 8 + post-UTME ÷ 2. The weighting is UTME 50%, post-UTME 50%.

• Out of 100: UTME ÷ 8 + post-UTME ÷ 2.
• O'level results decide whether you qualify for the course; they are not added as marks in this formula.

UNICAL aggregate score worked example

A candidate with 240 in UTME and 65 in the post-UTME test (out of 100) scores:

• UTME: 240 ÷ 8 = 30 (out of 50)
• Post-UTME: 65 ÷ 2 = 32.5 (out of 50)
• Aggregate = 30 + 32.5 = 62.5 out of 100

What aggregate score do I need for UNICAL?

There is no single pass mark. After screening, UNICAL publishes departmental cut-off marks for each course, and they change from year to year with the number of applicants. Competitive courses such as Medicine, Law, Nursing and Pharmacy always need a much higher aggregate than the general cut-off.

Enter last year's cut-off for your course as the target in the calculator to see the post-UTME score you would need to reach it.

Before you rely on the result

The University of Calabar does not publish one fixed formula that stays the same every year. This calculator uses the method most widely reported for recent screening exercises. Compare it with the formula in UNICAL's current post-UTME or screening notice, and if the weights differ, change them under "Change the formula" and the result updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the UNICAL aggregate score calculated?

UNICAL is reported to average your UTME score and your post-UTME score, so each counts for half of the aggregate. In short: Aggregate = UTME ÷ 8 + post-UTME ÷ 2.

Does UNICAL add O'level grades to the aggregate?

Not in this formula. Your O'level result decides whether you qualify for the course (normally five credits including English Language and Mathematics), but it doesn't add marks to the aggregate.

How much does the UNICAL post-UTME score count?

The post-UTME is worth 50 of the 100 marks. Each mark you gain in the test adds 0.5 to your aggregate, against 0.13 for each UTME mark.
