If you can consider reading this book to the end, I promise, you will secure your
admission this year by God grace
INTRODUCTION
My name is Amoo kamaldeen olamiwale popularly known as DR sense, I'm educational
consultant, the man behind causes of low jamb score and how to murder jamb once. The
founder of SEC TUTORIAL (the online tutorial like no other).
A low or high score doesn't secure your admission. How you use your score will
determine.
1.7 million + jambite are battling for 500k admissions space. It is certain that 1.2 million
will not gain admission this year. I will be teaching you how to secure your admissions
even with a low jamb score. This has nothing to do with upgrading.
There's nothing like upgrading except if you want to downgrade your life...
I know you are emotionally down because of your UTME results. I can relate because I
have been in your shoes before. It is even worse than yours. Or have you been in a
🌝
situation whereby you wrote all ssce( be waec, neco, gce, neco gce etc) and you keep on
failing your best subject . Have you? I have written 7 ssce exams. I finished secondary
school in 2012 and have my O'Level result in 2017. My first Jamb was in 2014 before
❓🌝
gaining admissions in 2019. You can see how rough my journey was. Can you compare
your situation with mine .
No matter your situation, always give thanks to God because you will always be in the
middle. You are greater than someone and someone will always be greater than you
A low UTME score is not fatal, it's a blessing in disguise 💯👌 . To find out how to gain
admission with your score ensure you read this to the end. In fact, 60% of those who
scored low might gain admissions while 60% of those who scored high might not.
Admission is not all about UTME score. No doubt a high score is always a big chance but
if not used well it might end up being a waste. Also if you used your low score wisely by
❓
doing the needful, your admission is guaranteed.
What is now the needful
Continue reading.
It is either you face reality now or reality will face you later.
As I said earlier, this year's admissions is a battle between you and 1.7 million others for
500, 000 admissions space.
NOw how can you secure your admissions in this 500,000 space?
First, there is a difference between the benchmark and the cutoff of marks.
Your UTME score is a benchmark that qualifies you to apply for various schools, while
your departmental cutoff marks are calculated by the students' performance.
JAMB will release the UTME minimum benchmark for all Universities.
School can increase it but can't reduce it.
For example, the Unilag, UI and OAU UTME benchmark is always 200. Any candidate that
scored below 200 can't apply.
Below is how school departmental cutoff marks for each course are calculated 👇
I will be using unilag and UI as examples throughout 📌.
👇👇👇👇👇
Unilag department cutoff marks for each course are calculated using the format
The University of Lagos calculates the aggregate scores of applicants by weighting 20%
to O-Level results, 50% to the UTME score, and 30% to the post UTME score.
In this system of scoring: A1 = 4.0 points; B2 = 3.6 points; B3 = 3.2 points; C4 = 2.8
points; C5 = 2.4 points; C6 = 2.0 points. Grades must be obtained at ONE SITTING.
The following are the steps you should take to calculate your aggregate score:
Divide your UTME score by 8.
Use the form below to calculate your O-level aggregate score using only your 5 required
subjects for the course you applied for.
Add the component scores from steps 1 - 3 above and the score you get is your total
aggregate score.
For example, Kamal scored 294 in UTME, b3 in five of his Olevel subjects and 21 in his
Post UTME kaml aggregate is now 294/8 + (3.2*5) + 21
Let us look at this simple illustration. For example, korede scored 280 (out of 400) points
at JAMB and 66 (out of 100) at post UTME. Korede will have to divide 280 by 8, which
equals 35, and divide 66 by 2, which equals 33. Korede's total aggregate is now 68.
🤪. He shocks
🤣
Also, school has little to zero effect on cutoff marks for each course
you . Oya, wait, let me explain.
Each school cutoff marks are determined by students' performance and below 👇 is how
it is calculated.
Let's assume 1000 jambites applied for unilag mbbs course and unilag has 100
admissions space for them. After the unilag post results is out, all mbbs aspirants
💯📌
aggregates will be arranged in ascending order and the first 100 highest aggregates will
be picked . The last person aggregate on the list (i.e the 100th person)will be the
cut off mark for that year.
🤪
As you can see, it is the students' performance that determines the school cutoff mark
for each course. School don't just wake up and fix cut-off marks .
How schools give admissions and set up department cutoff marks for all courses.
Merit carry 45%, 35% is for catchment area and 20% to those from educationally less
developed states (ELDS)
Merit admissions 👌👇
👇
Institutions gave admissions to aspirants according to their total aggregate score in
ascending order. I.e those with high score will make the merit list
After post utme or screening ( for some schools), all aspirants' aggregates will be
calculated and arranged in ascending order.
💯
The first 90 highest score will be admitted and the 90th aggregate on the list will be the
merit cutoff for that year .
If you aggregate is above or equal the cutoff mark, you admissions is 💯 guaranteed
Let move to catchment area
States within the same geographical area as the university are considered to be under
catchment area mostly. Students from the states specified as Catchment states are
considered privileged as they have more chances to be offered admission to the school
where they are in the Catchment area.
UNILAG, OAU and most federal universities in the West Catchment Area are all the
western states, such as Ekiti,Lagos,Ogun,Ondo, Osun and Oyo, while in unizek, Futo and
most federal universities in the East catchment area are all the eastern states. Such as
imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Abia
Here is how the catchment cutoff mark is being calculated at universities 👇
If the admissions quota for accounting is 200 students and 1000 aspirants apply for
accounting.
After post UTME, all aspirants' aggregates from each catchment state will be calculated
and arranged in ascending order.
💯
The first 16 highest scores will be admitted and the 16th person aggregate on the list will
be the state catchment cutoff for that year .
If your aggregate is above or equal to your state cutoff mark, your admission is
guaranteed. That is why it's advisable to choose a university that has your state in the
catchment area in order to increase your chances.
Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK): Anambra, Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria: Kaduna Adamawa , Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Jigawa,
Kaduna, Kano, Gombe, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Katsina, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Nasarawa,

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU): Bauchi Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno,
Gombe, Taraba, Yobe

Federal University of Technology, Yola: Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, Yobe
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ife: Osun, Ekiti, Lagos, Osun, Oyo, Ondo
Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUSOK): Sokoto Jigawa, Kwara, Kebbi, Katsina,
Kano, Kano, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Niger, Sokoto, Zamfara
University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN): Enugu Abia, Anambra, Bayelsa, Cross-River, Delta,
Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu, Imo, Rivers
All the 19 northern States + Ebonyi, Bayelsa, River and Cross River are states under
ELDS
It must, however, be noted that this does not mean that schools don't admit students
outside the catchment and ELDS area. Instead, the catchment and ELDS areas are given
special consideration.
JAMB admission is defined in areas of merit, catchment areas, and educationally less
developed states (ELDS).
The fact is that if a candidate from another state outside the catchment area beats the
MERIT cut-off mark of the University for the chosen course, he or she will be admitted
regardless of the Catchment Policy
💯
Your school might give you your desired course or transfer you to a less competitive
course where there is still space for more admissions .
Some schools like UI etc do release some courses you can change to after the merit
cutoff mark has been released.
However, the school can give some candidates admissions based on their hidden
👌
reason. You might be 0.1 below the merit cutoff and some at 3. Below will be admitted
under the supplementary list
SCHOOL AND COURSE YOU SHOULD AVOID WITH low UTME CORE.
📌
If you score below 200, avoid school like unilag, UI and OAU because it will end up in
waste of money and time
If you score less than 200, go to a state university or federal university that accepts
people below 200 and avoid competitive courses like mbbs, accounting, law, mass
communication, pharmacy etc. Ensure you calculate your aggregate to see your chance.
If you are not 2 points above the previous cutoff for your course, kindly change to a
course that is similar to your dream course. Having at least 2 points above the previous
cutoff mark will make you be on a safer side if the cutoff increases this year.
You can also apply for polytechnics like Yaba tech, Ibadan poly, kogi poly etc to reduce
your stress.
Hear this 👇
Don't miss needful with faithful if you don't want to fail faithfully
Stop looking for the miracle that you didn't create. Face reality now before reality faces
📌
you. University is not a determinant of success . Mbbs, accounting, law etc are not a
determinant of success . Most of you are going on a course that is again your
potential talent. If you want to study a medical course by force, there are many courses
you can change to now. Go and search for all the medical courses and see the one that
🤪
fits your potential value + if your UTME score can fit into the course. If you don't change
now, when admissions start, even if you beg for toilet education then you will not see .
Even the 0.1 below the merit cutoff mark can deny you admission.
Courses like IRPM etc ( Industrial relations and personnel management) are some of the
👌💯
best courses that most commercial students don't know about. Go and google the
importance of the course and see its employment opportunities .
Search for the number of courses in your department and their importance. Get yourself
educated and pick the one that is close to your course now.
If you have 270 below, avoid competitive courses like accounting, law, pharmacy,
💯
engineering, computer science etc at unilag, UI and some other top schools. You have
opportunity to change to a good course now and secure your admission with ease. I
📌
was denied admissions with my 294 UTME score + 21/30 in unilag post utme because of
a point below merit cutoff mark . Does that mean Unilag is evil? Capital NO.
Hear this 👇
You have zero to 1% chance of gaining admission once you are not on the Merit list.
FIRST, find out how your school calculates their aggregate scores and calculate yours.
Some schools used O'Level, UTME and post utme score e g OAU Unilag etc while some
score used only jamb and post UTME e g UI, UNIBEN etc
Second, calculate your utme and O'Level grade now and subtract it from previous
departmental cutoff marks of your score and add at least 3. Points to it, that is post
UTME score that you must score to be on a saver side.
Ok you don't understand ❓ right?
❓
Let me use unilag for example for easy understanding.
Did you just say why am I using only Unilag because you are not an aspirant of Unilag
Well I'm sorry for the inconveniences. I'm using Unilag and UI so often because I
❓ 😂
understand the school admissions process like my palm. Nevertheless I will also use
😂😂
UNIBEN as an example also. Did you just say yes ooh you are from eastern states
Oshee Omo Igbo
❓
English, economics and two of government, commerce and accounting. Your O'Level
point= 16.8. You don't how I calculate your O'Level grade, right
don't worry, I have explained how to calculate some schools' departmental cutoff marks.
You will read that later in this book. Just continue reading
Your UTME SCORE will be divided by 8 (280/8) = 35= Your current aggregate.
assuming UNIBEN Mbbs Previous departmental cutoff mark is 78 minus your current
aggregate (78-35)= 43 Now you are to add 3 to 43 equal to 46. 46+/50 should be your
target mark if you want to be on the safer side
Hope you understand how you can calculate your chance of gaining admission now ❓
Ok. I'm glad you are.
Did you just asked what of those that are not writing post UTME ❓
Yes you are still going to used the same format and see if your current aggregate is
above your course previous cutoff mark by at least 3.
The best and the sweetest admission is to be on the merit list because that is the only
💯
admission that is guaranteed. Any other one, be it connection or any other form, has 0 to
1% sure . know this now, know peace.
📌
Doing JAMB every year is a waste of time and money. We are in the era when certificates
😂
have little to nothing to do with success . Certificates and degrees have little effect
now. We are in the Era of sabificate now . If you are still having this mindset of
👏👏
finishing university with a good grade and start looking for a nonexistent job,
🎓👌💯📌
congratulations . You have finished the foundation of your life of poverty . You will
start living there after your graduation
I'm sorry if that is too harsh. I'm just trying to let you know the world we are now
REASON WHY YOU CAN CAUSE YOURSELF, YOUR ADMISSIONS EVEN WITH HIGH
UTME SCORE
😁😁😁
You will cause yourself admission once you follow JAMB subject requirements. Doing
💯
registration school is the only one that gives admission, not jamb. Once you fail
to follow the school subjects requirements, forget your admission .
For example: Lasu requirement for mathematics in UTME subject for political science,
while it is optional in jamb requirements.
Changing to a course that doesn't fit in with your UTME SUBJECTS combo
Before making a change of course, check the school requirements to know if your UTME
subjects fit in the wrong UTME SUBJECTS for a particular course, means automatic
disqualification.
🥴
need to pass the school cutoff to gain admission if you like score 400 in UTME,
once you fail to pass your school post utme past mark forget your admission .
I know of someone that scored 294 in UTME and scored 11 in unilag exams, which was
below the Unilag mark. Even if the person's total aggregate is above the merit cutoff
marks, Unilag will not even consider him at all.
The earlier you start preparing for your post UTME exams, the better.
You need to know your school of choice admission process. How to calculate aggregate,
o'level grade, Documents needed for the admission process etc
*Whatever you do not have the proper knowledge about, will end up eating you up
ignorantly"*
😁😁 stop
🌝😁
Baber that went to a bald my village, his unfortunately was from his ignorance
be ignorance of your choice of institution
😂 🥴🥴
The arrangement of your name in waec is different from jamb. You are sule Lola abike in
waec while you are abike sule Lola in jamb . Who are you trying to confuse? .
Your name in all your documents must be arranged in the same order.
Looking for connections instead of studying to past merit list
🥴🥴
*There are 420 ways to gain admission, number one is the merit list. The rest are
419*
Check out what Fola, which has more than 2 connections in Unilag, has to say 👇
Good day .
My name is Fola.
I know many people would have plugs and those that would pay 160k and the rest.
I'm not saying there are no legit connections, but truth be told, in this school of first
choice, the connection is not 100% sure and in most federal universities.
I know y'all would be asking me how I knew that. Well, let me tell you 👇
You know, I mean they give professors a slot or two admissions for each and the other
guys are the ones actually running this admissions sheet, but my little mistake was
thinking that connection was everything.
The surest way of admission to UNILAG and most top federal universities, like UI, OAU
etc, is your merit admission
You don't need to cajole anyone to help you because even if they try to help you, they
aren't sure.
I wrote JAMB thrice. And still I didn't even end up going to UNILAG, but if it was
connections, I have more than 3 plugs for Unilag. I finally gained admission in 2021 to
study business education at Unilag. Unfortunately, Ekiti state university has given me
accounting.
To top it all, not everyone will get admission. You should know that. Use the cut off mark
for last year as your bench mark and set a goal for yourself. If you feel it's realizable, then
go for it. If not Omo, do a change of course/institution, or have a back-up plan. "No go de
wait for unnecessary connection", education is getting worse day by day now, for you to
be repeating UTME
Yes. The best admission is still the merit list. I can even tell you that you'd miss the cut
off by 0.1 and someone would miss by 5 and they'd pick that one over you in
supplementary (with no connection)
The best admission still remains on the merit/catchment list, said by Fola 😊
Now let move to 👇
HOW TO CALCULATE VARIOUS SCHOOL POST UTME
Let us look at this simple illustration. For example, korede scored 280 (out of 400) points
at JAMB and 66 (out of 100) at post UTME. Korede will have to divide 280 by 8, which
equals 35, and divide 66 by 2, which equals 33. Korede's total aggregate is now 68
In this system of scoring: A1 = 4.0 points; B2 = 3.6 points; B3 = 3.2 points; C4 = 2.8
points; C5 = 2.4 points; C6 = 2.0 points. Grades must be obtained at ONE SITTING.
The following are the steps you should take to calculate your aggregate score:
Use the form below to calculate your O-level aggregate score using only your 5 required
subjects for the course you applied for.
Add the component scores from steps 1 - 3 above and the score you get is your total
aggregate score.
For example, Kamal scored 294 in UTME, b3 in five of his Olevel subjects and 21 in his
Post UTME kaml aggregate is now 294/8 + (3.2*5) + 21
Example:
The aggregate is the addition of the two which is in percentage; (35 + 40 ) = 61%
HOW TO CALCULATE
FUNAAB CUTOFF MARK
To calculate your WAEC/NECO result in percentage, FUNAAB had a score for each grade
which is a follow
A1 – 6 marks
B2 – 5 marks
B3 – 4 marks
C4 – 3 marks
C5 – 2 marks
C6 – 1 mark
These scores must be obtained from 5 compulsory subjects as related to your course.
Example:
Assuming you made b2 in your 5 relevant subjects. When you multiply the individual B2
by 6 and sum them up, I would got 25 = 25 *⅔ = 50/3=16.66
LASU uses your JAMB score and O’level result to get an aggregate score. It is this
aggregate score that will be used as final consideration for admission.
JAMB score has 50% point while your O’level result also has 50% point.
A1 ==> 10 marks.
A2/B2 ==> 9 marks.
B3 ==> 8 marks.
C4 ==> 7 marks.
C5 ==> 6 marks.
C6 ==> 5 marks.
Now let’s show you how to properly calculate the LASU aggregate score:
Say you have 290 in JAMB Score and got 4As and 1 B2 in your five compulsory subjects.
Your LASU aggregate score will be;
This is how must school that are not doing post utme calculate their aggregate.
UNN Students will have to multiply their JAMB Score by 0.6, Write down the answer you
get,
You will have to also multiply your POST-UTME Score by 0.4.
Now simply add up what you get in total.
E.g let’s say your jamb score is 202 and your post utme score is 307. Then we will have
(302*0.6) + (307*0.4) = Aggregate score = 304.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If your aggregate score happens to be in a decimal number (e.g
203.6) be rest assured that it will all be concluded in the whole number. With the
Aggregate score, that is what will be used in order to know if you gained admission or
not.
In order to be worthy of admission into UNN, Please make sure you have met the
departmental cut-off mark and get the necessary requirements ready.
HOW TO CALCULATE
FUTA CUTOFF MARK
FUTA Post UTME exams are objective and it comprises 25 questions of your UTME
subject combination making it 100% in total.
For you to get your FUTA aggregate score, from your JAMB SCORE, divide your score by
4 and your POST-UTME score which is a total of 25 questions multiplied by 4 to convert it
to 100%.
Example:
16 x 4 = 64
62.5 + 64 = 126.5
JAMB UTME TOTAL MARK is 400 while UNIABUJA Post UTME Score is 100.
Therefore, what you do is very simple.
Simply divide your JAMB score by 8 and then proceed further to divide your post utme
score by 2. After which you add both of them together.
This means that if you are an aspirant of the University of Abuja scores 280 in JAMB and
75 in post utme, then you can proceed to calculate your aggregate by doing the below.
280/8 = 35
75/2= 37.5
35+37.5 = 72.5…….
LAUTECH
How to Calculate LAUTECH Aggregate Score
Step 1: Get your O’level Point:
A1 =6
B2 =5
B3 =4
C4 =3
C5 =2
C6 =1
Say you got parallel A in O’level at one sitting, then your O’level screening point will be
40%
Step 2: Get your JAMB point: let say your JAMB UTME score is 260. Then your jamb
point is (290/400) * 60 = 43.5%
Step 3: Calculate aggregate score: Now add your O’level and jamb point to get your
aggregate score. For our example, our aggregate score is 73.5%.
The school will release their departmental cut-off mark. What you will see there is a
minimum aggregate score required for a course.
When you have your JAMB score, Post UTME score and O’level grades handy you can
follow the calculation process below.
Divide your JAMB score by 8
Add Post UTME score
Grade your O’level score and add it too
The result is your aggregate score
Assume You scores 280 in JAMB,
30 in Post UME and has the following
grades in your 5 relevant O’Level subjects.
B2 = 1.8
A1 = 2
C4 = 1.4
A1 = 2
B2 = 1.8
For example, in order to calculate your OOU Post UTME aggregate score, the formula
purportedly adopted by the institution is the summing up of your UTME (JAMB) SCORE
divided by 8 and your POST UTME SCORE divided by Your Jamb score is allocated 50%.
2. Considering O’level (WAEC, NECO, GCE or NABTEB): O level is calculated using the 5
core subjects(core to the course you wish to study as decided by the University) as
follows:
A1 – 6 points
B2 – 5 points
B3 – 4 points
C4 – 3 points
C5 – 2 points
C6 – 1 points
3. Considering POST-UTME: Here is the score many candidates seem to find rather
confusing. Some complain of having a higher score in the POST-UTME than university
cut-off points without being admitted. But what they must understand is that even if they
score 100% in that exam it amounts only to 30% of the cut-off point.
So their Post -Utme score is usually proportioned to 30 marks using 0.3 as the multiplier
Example: If a candidate had 202 in Jamb and his O level goes Like this:
Maths-B3,
Chemistry-C4,
Biology- B2,
English- C5,
Physics-C6,
Economic-B3,
For the O level, only 5 subjects (math, english, chemistry, biology, and physics) are
needed.
English – C5 – 2 point,
Chemistry – C4 – 3 points,
Biology – B2 – 5 points,
Physics – C6 – 1 point
His post utme score is allocated 30% and is multiplied by 0.3. i.e 58 x 0.3=17.4 Therefore,
the candidates’ composite is the sum of these 3 scores i.e Jamb+O’level+post utme.
Thanks for reading. Hope you learned one or two things about admissions processing.

ask me any questions concerning school admissions.
I love you.
Jamb and post utme are the easiest exams I have come across in my life, but hard for so
🥴🥴🥴
many people. In fact, the only exam I can compare post UTME with is common
Entrance .
Calm your nerves and let me explain myself before you stone me 😂😂
Believe it or not, 50% of your English, math and general knowledge questions are
derived from common entrance past questions mostly.
😁
But one of the mistakes most aspirants make is studying big textbooks for the post
UTME exam .
🥴🥴
First, your institution will never ask you what is beyond your level
😂😂😂 and
Schools like unilag, unilorin etc, do ask questions about states and capitals
if care is not taken, you will fail it joyfully.
🥴🥴
