FUHSI 2025/2026 ADMISSION SCREENING FORMULA EXPLAINED
The Federal University of Health Sciences, Ila-Orangun uses a combined score from both the UTME (JAMB) and the O’Level (WAEC/NECO) results to determine each candidate’s final Post-UTME Screening Aggregate.
Screening Components
UTME (JAMB) Score — 80% weight
O’Level (WAEC/NECO) Result — 20% weight
This means your UTME performance carries more weight, while your O’Level grades also contribute significantly to your final score.
Step 1: O’Level Grading System
Each of the five required subjects (English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology) is scored using the following point system
A1 = 6 points
B2 = 5 points
B3= 4 points
C4= 3 points
C5 = 2 points
C6= 1 point
The total O’Level points = sum of your five subjects (maximum = 30 points).
Step 2: Formula for Screening Aggregate
Screening Score =
(UTME Score ÷ 400 × 80) + (O’Level Points ÷ 30 × 20)
Example Calculation
Candidate details:
UTME Score: 273
O’Level Results: Biology (B2), Chemistry (C5), English (C6), Mathematics (B2), Physics (C6)
O’Level Points = 5 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 1 = 14
Now applying the formula:
(273/400 × 80) + (14/30 ×20)
= 54.6 + 9.33 = 63.93
Aggregate Screening Score = 63.93%
