How to Calculate Aggregate Score for DELSU Admission Screening

To calculate the aggregate score for Delta State University (DELSU) admission screening, you must divide your JAMB UTME score by eight and add it to your DELSU post-UTME computer-based screening test score divided by two. Delta State University adopts a cumulative one-hundred-point aggregate formula where your Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board entrance examination contributes fifty percent and your institutional computer-based post-UTME screening test accounts for fifty percent toward your overall departmental placement score.

The first component of the screening formula processes your raw JAMB UTME score, which is scored out of four hundred marks. To convert this result onto a fifty-point scale, divide your raw UTME mark by eight. For example, if a candidate secures a score of two hundred and forty in JAMB UTME, dividing two hundred and forty by eight yields exactly thirty points. An applicant scoring two hundred and eighty marks earns thirty-five points, while a candidate scoring three hundred and twenty marks receives forty points toward the institutional composite.

The second component evaluates your performance in the DELSU post-UTME computer-based aptitude test, which is administered at the Abraka campus and graded out of one hundred marks. Dividing your post-UTME test score by two converts it to an equivalent fifty-point baseline. For instance, if an applicant scores seventy out of one hundred on the post-UTME test, dividing seventy by two yields thirty-five points. An applicant scoring eighty marks earns forty points, and a candidate achieving sixty marks secures thirty points toward the screening composite.

Summing your converted UTME points and your converted post-UTME screening points gives your final DELSU cumulative aggregate score over one hundred percent. If an applicant earns thirty-five points from JAMB UTME (representing a 280 score) and thirty-five points from the post-UTME screening test (representing a 70 score), their cumulative aggregate equals thirty-five plus thirty-five, resulting in an aggregate screening score of seventy percent.

Candidates must also satisfy the minimum O’Level prerequisites of five credit passes in relevant secondary subjects including English Language and Mathematics in WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB in accordance with regulatory directives from the National Universities Commission.

Aspiring candidates for highly competitive faculties such as Medicine and Surgery, Nursing Science, Pharmacy, Law, and Medical Laboratory Science should aim for an aggregate score above seventy-two percent to guarantee merit placement.

Applicants must monitor the official university admission portal and verify their profiles on the JAMB portal regularly.

Retaining certified duplicate printouts of screening registration receipts and result slips prevents verification complications during physical matriculation.

Accurate aggregate calculation allows prospective students to realistically gauge their departmental admission competitiveness before lists are finalized.

Maintaining valid contact details on the portal ensures candidates receive urgent administrative updates regarding screening timelines.

Admitted candidates should also ensure their local government indigene certificates are properly stamped by authorized liaison officers before arriving on campus.
