How Kogi State University (KSU), now Prince Abubakar Audu University (PAAU) Calculates Your Aggregate Score or Cut-off mark.

Kogi State University (KSU) uses an aggregate score to determine whether you will be admitted. This score combines your JAMB and Post-UTME results, but KSU gives different weights to each.

Below we will explain how it works and how you can calculate your score by yourself, please do well to visit KSU’s official website for more information.

  • JAMB Score: 40% of your total aggregate
  • Post-UTME Score: 60% of your total aggregate

Unlike many federal universities that give JAMB and Post-UTME equal weight, KSU places more emphasis on your Post-UTME score.

To calculate your aggregate score:

  1. Divide your JAMB score by 10 (to scale it to 40%).
  2. Use your post-UTME score directly out of 60.

Example:

If you scored 240 in JAMB and 40 out of 60 in Post-UTME:

  • JAMB: 240 ÷ 10 = 24
  • Post-UTME: 40

So, your aggregate score = 24 + 40 = 64.

This aggregate score will then be used to determine your admission status.
