With a JAMB score of 190, you have a realistic chance of gaining admission to study Mass Communication at Delta State University (DELSU), but it will depend heavily on your Post-UTME performance.
​Here is the breakdown of your admission status for the 2026/2027 session:
​1. Eligibility Check
​General Cut-off: DELSU’s general JAMB cut-off mark is 150. Since you scored 190, you have cleared the first hurdle and are fully eligible to apply for the Post-UTME screening.
​Departmental Benchmark: Mass Communication is one of the more competitive courses in the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies. While 150 gets you into the exam, the "safe" zone for merit admission is usually a JAMB score of 200+. However, your 190 is strong enough to keep you in the race if you perform well in the next stage.
​2. The DELSU Admission Formula
​DELSU calculates your Aggregate Score using a 50:50 ratio between your JAMB score and your Post-UTME score.
Your JAMB Points: 190 / 8 = \mathbf{23.75} points.
​Target Aggregate: For Mass Communication, you should aim for a total aggregate of 58% or higher (based on last year's departmental cut-off of 58).
​What you need in Post-UTME: To hit a 58% aggregate, you need about 34.25 points from your Post-UTME, which means scoring roughly 69/100 in the screening exam.
