Yes, a 268 is an excellent score that puts you in a very strong position for Law at Rivers State University (RSU).
​While Law is one of the most competitive course in the at RSU, you have cleared the biggest hurdle. Here is how your admission chances look for the 2026/2027 session:
​1. The Cut-off Reality
​JAMB Baseline: RSU typically sets a general cut-off of 190, but for Law, the departmental requirement is usually 240+. At 268, you are comfortably above the minimum merit bar.
​The Competition: Even with a high score, RSU receives thousands of applications for Law. Your admission will ultimately depend on your Average Aggregate Score.
​2. How RSU Calculates Your Aggregate
​RSU uses a 50/50 formula:
​JAMB (50%): Your score divided by 8 (268 \div 8 = \mathbf{33.5}).
​Post-UTME (50%): This is a CBT exam usually consisting of 50 questions (English, Government, Literature, and Current Affairs).
​The Target: To be 100% sure of a Merit List spot for Law, you should aim for an aggregate score of 70% or higher.
​Your Math: Since you already have 33.5 from JAMB, you only need to score 36.5/50 (73/100) in the Post-UTME to reach that 70% "Safe Zone."
