How Delta State Polytechnic, Otefe-Oghara Calculates Aggregate Admission Scores

To secure admission on the merit list, candidates are ranked based on a composite aggregate screening score rather than raw UTME score alone.

1The Official 50:50 Calculation Formula

Delta State Polytechnic, Otefe-Oghara typically computes the final aggregate percentage using the standard Nigerian university 50:50 composite model:

Aggregate Score = (JAMB Score ÷ 8) + (Post-UTME Score ÷ 2)

• JAMB Component: 400 marks scaled down to 50% (Score ÷ 8).
• Post-UTME Component: 100 marks scaled down to 50% (Score ÷ 2).

2Step-by-Step Worked Example

Suppose candidate Chinedu applies for Medicine at Delta State Polytechnic, Otefe-Oghara:

• JAMB Score: 280 → 280 ÷ 8 = 35.0%
• Post-UTME Score: 74 → 74 ÷ 2 = 37.0%
• Total Aggregate Score: 35.0 + 37.0 = 72.0%

If the departmental merit cut-off for Medicine is 70.0%, Chinedu secures merit admission!
