UNIZIK Post-UTME Screening Date and Test Format
As of registration opening, UNIZIK had not announced a specific date for a written Post-UTME exam. Candidates are advised to continuously monitor their email, phone number, and the UNIZIK website for further details on the screening exercise.
What is confirmed is how UNIZIK’s official admission formula works (released for the most recent prior cycle, and expected to follow the same structure):
- The system is automated, blending your UTME score and your O’Level grades rather than requiring you to sit a separate written test.
- Ratio applied: 70% UTME score, 30% O’Level score.
- O’Level grade conversion: A1 = 90, B2 = 80, B3 = 70, C4 = 60, C5 = 55, C6 = 50; D7, E8, F9, and Awaiting Result (AR) = 0.
- Only the same four subjects you sat for in UTME are scored from your O’Level results.
- Bonus points: candidates with O’Level results from one sitting get +10 bonus points; two sittings receive no bonus.
[VERIFY this exact formula applies unchanged for 2026/2027] UNIZIK has historically published its formula ahead of each cycle, so confirm via the official portal once the 2026/2027 version is released.
UNIZIK Post-UTME Past Questions: How to Prepare
Since UNIZIK’s confirmed formula blends UTME and O’Level scores rather than a separate written exam, traditional “past questions” practice has limited direct relevance. To prepare effectively:
- Upload your O’Level results correctly to both JAMB CAPS and the UNIZIK portal only at JAMB-accredited CBT centres or offices, not regular cyber cafés, since results from unauthorized locations may not be recognised.
- Double-check that the same O’Level results appear identically on both JAMB CAPS and UNIZIK’s portal mismatches can cost you your place.
- If a written exam is announced for your specific cycle, revise your UTME subject combination as a precaution.
UNIZIK Post-UTME Cut-Off Mark and Aggregate Score Formula
The general JAMB cut-off mark for UNIZIK is 160 for the 2026/2027 cycle this is your minimum entry point, not a guarantee of admission.
Worked example using UNIZIK’s confirmed formula:
A candidate scores 285 in UTME, with O’Level grades of English (B3=70), Biology (A1=90), Physics (C4=60), and Chemistry (B2=80) a total O’Level score of 300.
- Final Score = (UTME score × 0.7) + {(O’Level score + Bonus) × 0.3}
- One sitting: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 10) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 93 = 292.5
- Two sittings: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 0) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 90 = 289.5
The gap between one and two sittings is small just a few points but it can matter for borderline candidates.
On departmental cut-offs, historical figures show wide variation by course [VERIFY current cycle figures before relying on these]:
- Medicine and Surgery, Nursing: historically the highest, often around 220–280, with Nursing specifically reported needing 280+ JAMB along with a strong post-screening performance.
- Mass Communication, Law, Pharmacy, Anatomy, Physiology: historically around 200.
- Computer Science, English Language, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Geology, most Engineering courses: historically around 190.
- Electrical and Electronic Engineering: reported around 212.
- Business Administration: reported around 219.
- Less competitive Arts and Education courses: generally closer to the 150–160 general baseline.
