The UNICAL aggregate score is calculated by combining your JAMB score (50%) and Post UTME score (50%). To compute it, divide your JAMB score by 8 and your Post UTME score by 2, then add both results.
For example, if you scored 240 in JAMB and 70 in Post UTME:
(240 ÷ 8) + (70 ÷ 2) = 30 + 35 = 65 aggregate score.
Your aggregate score determines whether you meet the departmental cut-off for your chosen course.
