Important Instructions for Candidates

Candidates are required to upload their O’level results to the JAMB CAPS Portal.

Ensure that you upload the same results to both the JAMB CAPS and UNIZIK portals.

Uploading at JAMB accredited CBT Centres or JAMB Offices is mandatory, as using regular cybercafes may lead to disqualification.

UNIZIK Admission Screening Formula

The formula is based on a 70:30 ratio, where 70% comes from the UTME score and 30% from the O’level results.
A. Ratio BreakdownUTME score: 70% (0.7)
O’level subject score: 30% (0.3)
B. O’level Results GradingA1 = 90
B2 = 80
B3 = 70
C4 = 60
C5 = 55
C6 = 50
D7 = 48
E8 = 40
F9 = 0
Awaiting Result (AR) = 0
C. Bonus for Single SittingSingle Sitting: Candidates who pass all four O’level subjects in a single sitting receive a bonus of 10 points.
Two Sittings: No bonus for those who pass the subjects in two sittings.
D. Final Score Calculation

The final screening score is calculated using this formula:

Final Score = (UTME score * 0.7) + [(O’level score + Bonus) * 0.3]
Example of the Screening Formula in Action
Candidate’s Scores:UTME Score: 285
O’level Grades:English: B3 (70 points)
Biology: A1 (90 points)
Physics: C4 (60 points)
Chemistry: B2 (80 points)
Single Sitting Example:Final Score = (285 * 0.7) + [(300 + 10) * 0.3]
Final Score = 199.5 + 93 = 292.5
Two Sittings Example:Final Score = (285 * 0.7) + [(300 + 0) * 0.3]
Final Score = 199.5 + 90 = 289.5

The difference between a candidate with a single sitting and a two sittings result is 3 points (292.5 – 289.5).

This formula ensures transparency and fairness in the UNIZIK Admission Screening for the 2024/2025 session.
