The Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, has announced a new way of calculating scores for admission, which is the 70/30 grading system.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Public Relations Unit of the Directorate of Ceremonials, Information and Public Relations, Vice Chancellor’s Office.
Recall that previously, DELSU used a method called the 50/50 grading system, where a candidate’s JAMB (UTME) score was 50 percent of the screening score, while the Post UTME result made up the other 50 percent. The said Post UTME score was earned through examinations.
But now, DELSU has introduced a new grading system called the 70/30 grading system.
“In this new method, 70 percent of a candidate’s screening score will come from their UTME (JAMB) score, and the remaining 30 percent from their O’Level result,” the statement added.
With this development, DELSU no longer uses examination for Post UTME screening.
