When admission season kicks off and your JAMB and O'Level results are finally in your hands, the biggest question on your mind is whether your scores are high enough for your dream course at the Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH).
Relying on guesswork or simply comparing your raw JAMB score to previous years isn't enough. Every admission cycle, highly qualified students miss out on their preferred courses because they didn't take the time to calculate their actual standing. Knowing your exact aggregate score is the only way to accurately measure your chances against departmental cut-off marks—and it gives you the crucial time needed to apply for a change of course if you fall short.
Want to skip the manual math? If you want to find out your exact score and admission chances in seconds, you can calculate your aggregate automatically right now at uniscore.vercel.app/calculate/lasustech.
But if you prefer to do the math yourself and understand exactly how LASUSTECH grades your results, here is the breakdown.
How the LASUSTECH Formula Works
LASUSTECH uses a perfectly balanced 100-point grading system. Your admission aggregate is split equally: 50% comes from your JAMB score, and the remaining 50% comes from your O'Level grades. There are no extra points awarded or deducted for the number of sittings you present.
Here is exactly how to calculate your points for both sections.
Step 1: Your JAMB Score (Maximum 50 Points)
At LASUSTECH, your JAMB score makes up exactly half of your total aggregate. To convert your JAMB score into this point system, you apply a specific multiplier.
The Formula: Simply multiply your total JAMB score by 0.125. (For example, if a candidate scored a perfect 400 in JAMB: 400 × 0.125 = 50 points).
Step 2: Your O'Level Subjects (Maximum 50 Points)
Your O'Level results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) make up the other half of your score. You only need to select the 5 core subjects that are strictly required for your proposed course of study.
Because O'Levels carry so much weight at LASUSTECH, the grading scale is exceptionally high compared to many other schools. You add up the points for your 5 relevant subjects based on this scale:
- A1 equals 10 points
- B2 equals 9 points
- B3 equals 8 points
- C4 equals 7 points
- C5 equals 6 points
- C6 equals 5 points
(For example, if you scored straight A1s in your 5 core subjects: 5 subjects × 10 points = 50 points).
Putting It All Together: A Sample Calculation
Let’s calculate the aggregate score for a fictional aspirant named David, who is applying to study Computer Science.
David's Academic Profile:
- JAMB Score: 220
- O'Level Grades: Mathematics (A1), English Language (B2), Physics (B3), Chemistry (C4), and Biology (B2).
The Calculation
1. Calculate the JAMB Points:
- David's JAMB score (220) multiplied by 0.125.
- 220 × 0.125 = 27.5 Points
2. Calculate the O'Level Points:
- Mathematics (A1) = 10 points
- English Language (B2) = 9 points
- Physics (B3) = 8 points
- Chemistry (C4) = 7 points
- Biology (B2) = 9 points
- Total O'Level Points = 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 9 = 43 Points
Final Aggregate Score:
- JAMB Points (27.5) + O'Level Points (43)
- 27.5 + 43 = 70.5%
David's final admission aggregate score for LASUSTECH is 70.5%. He can now compare this percentage directly against the official departmental cut-off mark for Computer Science.
