McIu Post-Utme Cut-Off Marks and Scoring System

To be eligible to participate in the McIu Post-UTME screening, candidates must have met the minimum admission requirements of five O’Level credits including English Language and Mathematics. As a first-time candidate, I had to ensure I obtained the minimum UTME score set by the school.

McIu Post-UTME Cut-Off Marks

The McIu Post-UTME cut-off mark varies from year to year, depending on several factors like the performance of candidates that year and available admission slots. For the 2021/2022 admission year, the cut-off mark was 180. Candidates who scored 180 and above in the UTME were eligible to sit for the McIu Post-UTME.

McIu Post-UTME Scoring System

The Post-UTME screening consists of a Computer Based Test (CBT) made up of objective questions from subjects like English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. For each correctly answered question, I received 3 marks. Wrong answers or unattempted questions attracted no marks.

To gain admission into McIu, an aggregate score of at least 200 was required from the UTME and Post-UTME scores. The Post-UTME contributed 50% to the aggregate score. For example, if a candidate scored 190 in UTME and 70 in Post-UTME, the aggregate score would be 190 + (70 x 0.5) = 190 + 35 = 225. This means the candidate is eligible for admission.

In conclusion, to maximize my chances of gaining admission into McIu, I had to, first of all, meet the minimum admission requirements. Then I worked to obtain a competitive UTME score above the cut-off mark. Finally, intensive preparation was required to also obtain a good Post-UTME score since it contributes significantly to the aggregate score used for admission. By following these steps, I was able to scale through the admission process successfully.

Conclusion

In conclusion, MCIU has provided extensive details on its post-UTME registration and eligibility criteria to guide prospective candidates.
