Clarification on Post-UTME Results and Grading System
The Admissions Office has received several enquiries from parents and candidates regarding perceived differences between individual results and Post-UTME scores. This guide provides clarification to address these concerns.
Understanding the Post-UTME Grading System
The Post-UTME grading process is structured and technical, not a simple or random assessment of results. Each candidate’s performance is evaluated in line with the specific course of study applied for.
- Example 1: Medicine (MBBS)
For candidates applying to Medicine, subjects such as Biology are given higher weight, while subjects not relevant to the course (e.g., Economics) are not considered. - Example 2: Economics and Related Programmes
For candidates applying to Economics, the subject Economics is prioritized, while Biology does not contribute to the score.
This means that two candidates with similar results may receive different Post-UTME scores depending on the relevance of subjects to their chosen programme.
Assurance of Transparency
The Admissions Office assures all stakeholders—parents, guardians, and candidates—that:
- The grading system is transparent, credible, and standardized.
- The process is designed to ensure fairness, accuracy, and alignment with course requirements.
We encourage everyone to trust the system, as the evaluation method is carefully structured to reflect each candidate’s suitability for their chosen programme.
