Delta State University (DELSU) sets specific cut-off marks to guide students on the scores needed for each department. These marks help you determine your eligibility for various courses based on your JAMB and Post UTME scores. DELSU Departmental Cut Off Mark
How Are Cut-Off Marks Calculated For Delsu?
Your JAMB score is divided by 8 and added to half of your Post UTME score to arrive at a composite score. For example: Let’s say you applied for Pharmacy whose UTME cut-off mark is 65, and you scored 276 in Jamb and 74 in Post UTME. Let’s calculate your aggregate to see if you passed the Pharmacy 65 Cut-off mark.
| Parameter | Calculation | Total |
|---|---|---|
| JAMB | 276 ÷ 8 | 34.50 |
| Post UTME | 74 ÷ 2 | 37 |
| Aggregate Score | – | 71.5 |
Your aggregate from our calculation will be 71.5, and it’s above the Pharmacy cut-off. This means your admission chances are super high!
