Lens University Aggregate Score Formula

Lens University uses the standard Nigerian university weighted aggregate for admission ranking. The formula is:

Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score divided by 8) + (Post UTME Score divided by 2)

This yields a score out of 100, with JAMB contributing up to 50 points and Post UTME contributing up to 50 points.

Worked example: - JAMB score: 180. Divide by 8 = 22.5 points - Post UTME score: 60 out of 100. Divide by 2 = 30 points - Total aggregate = 52.5 out of 100

Since the cut-off for all courses at Lens University is 150, candidates in the 150 to 200 JAMB range who perform well in the Post UTME can still achieve competitive aggregates. The Post UTME score is equally weighted and gives candidates a chance to strengthen their position above the JAMB score alone.

Yes. The form is currently on sale. Lens University as a newer institution runs an admissions cycle that mirrors the Nigerian calendar, typically opening from mid-year and running through the third quarter.
