How to Calculate Your DELSU Aggregate
The admissions procedure at DELSU has been modified for the 2025–2026 academic year. JAMB score (60%) and WAEC/NECO & GCE (40%) were utilized in the past; presently, they use JAMB score (70%) and WAEC/NECO (30%).
This means no more Post UTME examinations, saving you the burden of traveling to Delta State, specifically Abraka, to write the exams.
Step 1 – Calculate Your JAMB Component
Note: Your JAMB score now covers 70% of your admission and the WAEC/NECO 30%.
Your JAMB score contributes 70% to your total aggregate using this formula: (Your JAMB Score ÷ 400) × 70.
To calculate this, divide your JAMB score by 400, then multiply the result by 70. For example, if you scored 200 in JAMB: 270 ÷ 400 = 0.675, then 0.675 × 70 = 47.25. Your JAMB aggregate is 47.25 out of 70 possible points.
| JAMB Score | Aggregate Points |
| 400 | 70.00 |
| 350 | 61.25 |
| 300 | 52.50 |
| 250 | 43.75 |
| 200 | 35.00 |
Step 2 – Calculate Your O’Level Component
Your O’Level results contribute 30% to your aggregate based on a points system for grade
WAEC/NECO/GCE Points Breakdown
| Grade | Points |
|---|---|
| A1 | 6 |
| B2 | 5 |
| B3 | 4 |
| C4 | 3 |
| C5 | 2 |
| C6 | 1 |
The calculation includes five topics: your four core JAMB subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and English), as well as one additional applicable subject such as Geography or Economics. Simply add the points for these five subjects to acquire your O’Level component, which has a maximum of 30 points.
