The Complete Guide: How to Calculate Your Kwara State University (KWASU) Aggregate Score

Imagine this: The JAMB portal finally opens, you check your result, and you see a solid 240. You are thrilled, your parents are celebrating, and your WAEC results are looking great too. But as the KWASU post-UTME screening draws closer, that initial excitement starts to morph into anxiety. Is 240 really enough for your dream course at Kwara State University? Every admission cycle, thousands of brilliant students miss out on their preferred courses. The heartbreaking part? It is rarely because their scores were objectively "bad," but because they did not understand how their university calculates aggregate scores. They leave their admission to guesswork instead of calculating their exact standing and making strategic decisions (like applying for a change of course before the window closes).

Knowing your exact KWASU aggregate score is absolutely essential. It is the only metric that tells you where you truly stand against the departmental cut-off marks.

How the KWASU Formula Works

Kwara State University uses a straightforward 100-point grading system. Unlike some universities that factor in the number of exam sittings you have, KWASU's formula strictly evaluates just two things: your JAMB score and your O'Level grades.

Here is the detailed breakdown of how the 100% is shared.

Step 1: Your JAMB Score (Maximum 70 Points)

At KWASU, your JAMB score carries the massive majority of the weight—up to 70% of your total aggregate. To convert your JAMB score into KWASU's point system, you apply a specific multiplier.

The Formula: Simply multiply your total JAMB score by 0.175. (For example, if a candidate scored a perfect 400 in JAMB: 400 × 0.175 = 70 points).

Step 2: Your O'Level Subjects (Maximum 30 Points)

Next, KWASU evaluates your O'Level results (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB), which make up the remaining 30%. You do not need to calculate all 9 subjects you wrote; you only need to select your 5 core subjects that are strictly relevant to your proposed course of study.

KWASU assigns a specific numerical value to each grade. You simply add up the points for your 5 relevant subjects based on this scale:

• A1 equals 6 points
• B2 equals 5 points
• B3 equals 4 points
• C4 equals 3 points
• C5 equals 2 points
• C6 equals 1 point

(For example, if you scored straight A1s in your 5 core subjects: 5 subjects × 6 points = 30 points).

Note: Unlike some other state and federal universities, KWASU does not add bonus points or deduct points based on the number of O'Level sittings you present. It is strictly about the grades.

Putting It All Together: A Sample Calculation

Let’s calculate the aggregate score for a fictional aspirant named Fatima, who is applying to study Mass Communication.

Fatima's Academic Profile:

• JAMB Score: 240
• O'Level Grades: Literature in English (A1), English Language (B2), Government (B3), Economics (B2), and Civic Education (C4).

The Calculation

1. Calculate the JAMB Points:

• Fatima's JAMB score (240) multiplied by 0.175.
• 240 × 0.175 = 42 Points

2. Calculate the O'Level Points:

• Literature in English (A1) = 6 points
• English Language (B2) = 5 points
• Government (B3) = 4 points
• Economics (B2) = 5 points
• Civic Education (C4) = 3 points
• Total O'Level Points = 6 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 3 = 23 Points

Final Aggregate Score:

• JAMB Points (42) + O'Level Points (23)
• 42 + 23 = 65%

Fatima's final admission aggregate score for KWASU is 65%. She can now compare this score against the official cut-off mark for Mass Communication to see how safe she is.
