Planning to study Mathematics at DELSU but confused about the new aggregate system? DELSU introduced a completely new calculation method for 2025/2026, and this guide will show you exactly how to calculate your aggregate score with step-by-step examples.
Is There a Post-UTME Exam for DELSU Mathematics in 2025?
No, there is no Post-UTME exam for DELSU Mathematics in 2025. This is a significant change from previous years.
DELSU has completely overhauled their admission process for the 2025/2026 session. Instead of the traditional JAMB + Post-UTME system, the university now uses a simpler JAMB (70%) + O’Level Results (30%) aggregate system.
This means you won’t need to travel to the university for a Post-UTME examination. Your admission will be determined solely by your JAMB UTME score and your O’Level grades. This change makes the admission process more straightforward and cost-effective for students.
Requirements to Calculate Your DELSU Aggregate
You need these subjects for Mathematics Department aggregate calculation:
- JAMB Subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and English Language (all compulsory).
- O’Level Subjects: At least 5 credits including your four JAMB subjects plus one additional relevant subject like Further Mathematics or Geography.
When uploading your O’Level results, always upload your core JAMB subjects first. This ensures proper processing of your aggregate score.

How to Calculate Your DELSU Aggregate
DELSU changed their admission system for 2025/2026. Previously, they used JAMB (60%) + Post-UTME exam (40%). Now it’s JAMB (70%) + O’Level results (30%).
This means no more Post-UTME exams. You won’t need to travel to the university or pay extra exam fees. Your admission depends only on your JAMB score and O’Level grades.
Your JAMB score now carries more weight at 70%, but strong O’Level grades can still boost your total aggregate by up to 30 points.
Step 1 – Calculate Your JAMB Component
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: 200 ÷ 400 = 0.5, then 0.5 × 70 = 35. Your JAMB aggregate is 35 out of 70 possible points.
| JAMB Score | Aggregate Points |
|---|---|
| 400 | 70.0 |
| 350 | 61.25 |
| 300 | 52.5 |
| 250 | 43.75 |
| 200 | 35.0 |
Step 2 – Calculate Your O’Level Component
Your O’Level results contribute 30% to your aggregate based on a points system for grades.
WAEC/NECO/GCE Points Breakdown
| Grade | Points |
|---|---|
| A1 | 6 |
| B2 | 5 |
| B3 | 4 |
| C4 | 3 |
| C5 | 2 |
| C6 | 1 |
The calculation uses five subjects: your four core JAMB subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English) plus one additional relevant subject like Further Mathematics or Geography. Simply add up the points for these five subjects to get your O’Level component, with a maximum of 30 points possible.

Complete Calculation Example
Here’s how to put everything together using a real example.
Student Profile: JAMB Score: 200, O’Level Results: A1, B2, C4, C5, C6
JAMB Calculation: 200 ÷ 400 = 0.5, then 0.5 × 70 = 35 points
O’Level Calculation: A1 (6) + B2 (5) + C4 (3) + C5 (2) + C6 (1) = 17 points
Final Aggregate: 35 + 17 = 52 out of 100
This student’s aggregate score is 52, which will be compared against the departmental cut-off when released.

FAQ
What is the minimum JAMB score for DELSU Mathematics 2025?
While there’s no official minimum, you need at least 180+ to be competitive. Most admitted students score 200+.
Can I use different O’Level results (WAEC and NECO) for my aggregate?
Yes, you can combine results from different exam bodies as long as you have the required subjects and grades.
What if I have more than 5 good O’Level grades?
DELSU will use your best 5 grades that include your core JAMB subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English) plus one relevant subject.
How is DELSU aggregate calculated for Mathematics Department?
JAMB score (70%) + O’Level results (30%) = Total aggregate. Formula: (JAMB÷400)×70 + O’Level points.
When will DELSU release cut-off marks for 2025/2026?
Typically between August and September, after Post-UTME form sales conclude.
What O’Level grades are accepted for DELSU aggregate calculation?
A1 to C6 grades are accepted. A1=6pts, B2=5pts, B3=4pts, C4=3pts, C5=2pts, C6=1pt.
Is 50 aggregate score good for DELSU Mathematics?
50 is borderline. Competitive range is 55+, highly competitive is 65+. Wait for official cut-off.
Can I calculate DELSU aggregate without Post-UTME score?
Yes! DELSU removed Post-UTME for 2025/2026. You only need JAMB and O’Level results.
What happens if my JAMB subject combination is wrong for Mathematics?
You cannot calculate aggregate or gain admission without the correct subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English.
Does DELSU accept NECO, GCE for aggregate calculation?
Yes, DELSU accepts WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, and GCE O’Level results for aggregate calculation.
How do I know my DELSU aggregate is competitive?
Compare with previous years: 65-70+ (excellent chances), 55-64 (good chances), 45-54 (borderline).
