Rivers State University (RSU) Cut Off Mark & How to Calculate Their Aggregate Score

Are you interested in becoming a student of the Rivers State University? (RSU) If yes, then this post will be of great help to you as it is not only important for one to know the cut off mark of their preferred institution but also how to calculate the aggregate score.

On this note, we are going to tell you what aggregate and Post UTME Score means and what things are to be considered before calculating the aggregate score.

What is Post UTME Score?

After every UTME exercise, the exam body sets a particular mark {e.g., 120}. This mark is a score a candidate must have or cross to qualify him or her to sit for the chosen school’s POST UTME exercise.

This said mark is announced to all schools to enable them to decide the number of candidates they will admit. After the school’s decision, they announce a particular mark that must not be lower than the mark the UTME body fixed.

Any candidate who crosses the mark set by the UTME body and does not reach the chosen school’s mark is NEVER eligible to sit for the school’s POST UTME.

This mark or score set by the school admission board is known as SCHOOL’S CUT-OFF MARK.

How to Calculate RSU Aggregate Score

To correctly calculate your aggregate, know that the JAMB Examination is made up of 400 marks, whereas the RSU Post UTME is made of 100 marks.

  • Divide your JAMB score by 8,
  • Divide your Post UTME score by  2,
  • Add up the result.

This is how to calculate yours.

If Tina scored 240 in her JAMB and 80 in her Post UTME, then her Aggregate score can be gotten by following these steps.

240/8= 30

80/2= 40

40+ 30= 70

Tina’s aggregate score is 70.

RSU JAMB Fixed Cut-off Mark

Jamb fixed cut-off mark for RSUST is 180.

Candidates with higher scores are first considered in admission basics candidates with lower scores though they might meet the cut-off mark of 180, may likely not be admitted. In fact, it is the higher your scores, the higher the chance of being admitted.

Departmental Cut-off Mark

The Rivers State University of Science and Technology does not have a specific course cut-off mark.

However, candidates who have scored a minimum of one 180 in the UTME examination are eligible to apply for admission into any of their choice courses.

Due to the high number of students wishing to study at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, the admission process is competitive, and admission is given based on JAMB score and O-level grades.
