We have taken the time to explain how you can calculate the UNICAL POST-UTME aggregate for the 2022/2023 academic year. Kindly note that both the UTME and POST-UTME scores solely contribute to the UNICAL aggregate, and they are both 50%.

To calculate the UNICAL POSTUTME aggregate, divide your UTME score by 8.

So, take, for instance, you scored 260 in JAMB and 70 in the Post-UTME examination, below are the steps to calculate your aggregate:

The first is to divide your JAMB score by 8. Which will be 260/8 = 32.5%.
Secondly is to divide your POST-UTME score by 2 which will be 70/2 = 36.5%.
Finally, your aggregate will be the sum of the first and second steps above, which will be 32.5% + 36.5% = 69%.
