How Does FUNAAB Calculate Points for UTME Candidates
The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) adopts a Composite Grading System for the evaluation of candidates seeking admission into the University. The composite score is derived from the candidate's O'Level results and UTME score, based on a ratio of 50:50 respectively.
1. O'LEVEL COMPOSITE PERCENTAGE
O'Level points are calculated from five (5) core subjects as outlined below:
| Programme | Required Subjects |
|---|---|
| Core Sciences | English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology |
| Management Science | English Language, Mathematics, Economics, and the best 2 relevant subjects |
Grading Scale:
| Grade | Points |
|---|---|
| A1 | 6 |
| B2 | 5 |
| B3 | 4 |
| C4 | 3 |
| C5 | 2 |
| C6 | 1 |
| Others | 0 |
Maximum Total O'Level Points = 30 points
Important Notes:
- Where Agriculture is accepted in lieu of Biology, the grade obtained in Agriculture shall not count towards O'Level points.
- Candidates presenting two O'Level results (e.g., WAEC and NECO) shall have the better grade selected for each core subject. However, 1 (one) point shall be deducted from the total points so obtained.
Formula: O'Level Composite (%) = Total O'Level Points × (5/3)
2. UTME COMPOSITE PERCENTAGE
This applies to candidates applying through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) route.
Formula: UTME Composite (%) = UTME Score ÷ 8
FINAL COMPOSITE SCORE = O'Level Composite (%) + UTME Composite (%)
SUMMARY OF COMPOSITE COMPONENTS
| Component | Formula | Maximum Value |
|---|---|---|
| O'Level | Total Points × (5/3) | 50% |
| UTME | Score ÷ 8 | 50% |
| Total | Sum of both components | 100% |
