Ladoke Akintola University of Technology popularly known as LAUTECH is a State owned University located in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria.
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) is a top-ranking university in Nigeria. It’s well known for its strong focus on science, technology and engineering.
The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses across various faculties, including Engineering, Pure and Applied Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Management Sciences, and Health Sciences.
LAUTECH is currently one of the best state universities in Nigeria today. Each year thousands of students compete for admission into LAUTECH.
Over the last 2-3 years, it was ranked as one of the most sought-after state universities in Nigeria.
LAUTECH uses an aggregate score to determine who qualifies for admission into various courses.
Your aggregate score is gotten from the combination of your JAMB (UTME) score and your O-level grades.
In today’s article we would be showing a step-by-step guide on calculating your aggregate score in LAUTECH.
How to calculate LAUTECH aggregate score
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) uses the JAMB (UTME) score and O’ level grades to determine their aggregate score.
JAMB UTME – 75%
O’ LEVEL – 25%
making a total of 100%
To calculate your aggregate score you would need to convert both your UTME score and I level grades in percent. For example, Olusegun scored 295 in JAMB (UTME).
To get his UTME score in percentage, you would divide his UTME score over 400 and then multiply by 75%.
(His UTME Score ÷ 400) × 75
(295 ÷ 400) × 75 = 55.31%
So the next thing now is to get his O-level score in percentage.
Let’s all assume that Olusegun is aspiring for computer science, so what he needs is 5 O-level core subjects, and they are
- Mathematics
- English language
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
And his respective grades for these subjects are:
- Mathematics A1
- English language A1
- Physics A1
- Chemistry B3
- Biology C4
And
- A1 = 6 points
- B2 = 5 points
- B3 = 4 points
- C4 = 3 Points
- C5 = 2 points
- C6 = 1 point
So let’s assign the points to Olusegun’s O-level subjects.
- Mathematics A1 = 6 points
- English language A1 = 6 points
- Physics A1 = 6 points
- Chemistry B3 = 4 points
- Biology C4 = 3 points
Then the next step is to add the various points together, then divide by 30 and multiply by 25%.
So, in essence
6+6+6+4+3 = 25 points
(25÷30) × 25%
20.83%
So the last step now is to add both the UTME score in percentage together with the O level score in percentage.
So Olusegun’s aggregate score = 55.31% + 20.83% = 76.14%.
Calculating your aggregate score is an important step in securing admission into Ladoke Akintola University (LAUTECH).
After LAUTECH releases its cut-off mark and departmental cut-off, they go on with their Post UTME screening, so it is important to know your aggregate score so that you would know your chances of admission based on the cut-off mark released.
