To calculate your actual cut-off mark, you will have to divide your jamb score by 8 and your post UTME score by 2, then your actual cut-off mark will be a summation of your jamb score divided by and your post UTME by 2. Confused? Wait, let me make it more clear to you.

 

For instance, a student who wishes to study pharmacy in the school scored 280 in jamb and score 90 in post UTME, the actual cut off mark will be calculated as follows;

280/8=35

90/2=45

35+45=80
