UDUSOK Screening Format: What to Expect
UDUSOK typically does not conduct a CBT Post-UTME exam. Instead, the online screening process involves:
- Evaluation of JAMB score
- Review of O’Level grades
- Calculation of an aggregate score using a formula (see below)
How UDUSOK Computes Aggregate Score
The typical formula used is:
Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score / 8) + (O’Level grade points)
Here’s how O’Level grades are calculated:
- A1 = 6 points
- B2 = 5 points
- B3 = 4 points
- C4 = 3 points
- C5 = 2 points
- C6 = 1 point
The best 5 relevant subjects are selected based on the course applied for.
Example:
- JAMB score = 240 → (240 ÷ 8) = 30
- O’Level = 5 A1s = 30 points
- Total aggregate = 60
This would likely meet the cutoff for many courses but may fall short for Medicine or Law.
