Yobe State University – YSU Cut Off Mark & How to Calculate Their Aggregate Score

We have come to know that many students find it really difficult to calculate their aggregate score and their cut off mark and it really isn’t their fault as calculating cut off marks varies for different institutions.
On this note, we have made it easy for you by giving you the step by step procedure on how to calculate Yobe State University (YSU) aggregate score, but before this, we are going to tell you what aggregate and Post UTME Score means and what things are to be considered before calculating the aggregate score .
WHAT IS AGGREGATE SCORE
That means the candidate must get at least 50 Questions Correctly. The aggregate score will be used to determine the cut-off point for admission into each of the programmes. Cut-off points for each course will be determined by the performance of all the candidates who applied for the course.
WHAT IS POST UTME SCORE
After every UTME exercise, a particular mark is set out by the exam body {e.g 120}. This mark is a score a candidate must have or cross, to qualify him or her to sit for the chosen school’s POST UTME exercise. This said mark is announced to all school’s to enable them decide the number of candidates they will admit.
After the school’s decision, they announce a particular mark which must not be lower than the mark the UTME body fixed. Any candidate who cross the mark set by the UTME body and did not reach the chosen school’s mark, is NEVER eligible to sit for the school’s POST UTME.
This mark or score set by the school admission board is known as SCHOOL’S CUT OFF MARK..

How To Calculate YSU Aggregate Score
When calculating YSU aggregate score, three areas are considered and they are:
JAMB ;
Divide your JAMB score which is over 400 by 8
O’LEVEL
A1- 4.0
B2 -3.6
B3 – 3.2
C4 – 2.8
C5 – 2.4
C6 – 2.0
POST UTME
Post UTME score is over 30
Here’s a example for easy understanding
Lets Assume Tina scores 250 in JAMB, and English A1- 4, Mathematics C4- 2.8, Physics B3- 3.2 , Chemistry A1-4.0, Biology C5-2.4, and 22 in Post UTME.
JAMB 250/8= 31.25
O’Level 4 + 2.8 + 3.2 + 4 + 2.4 = 16.4
Post UTME 22
Sum up the total of the three 31.25 + 16.4 + 22 = 69.65
Therefore Tina’s aggregate score is 69.65.
