Yes, you can absolutely still go for Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) at Delta State University (DELSU). Your JAMB score of 220 is a strong foundation and comfortably clears DELSU's general institutional minimum cut-off mark of 150.
​Whether you secure the admission depends on your final aggregate score. DELSU utilizes a 50/50 grading system to determine your departmental aggregate:
​JAMB Score (50%): Your UTME score divided by 8.
​Post-UTME Score (50%): Your raw post-UTME test score out of 100, divided by 2.
​O'Level: DELSU does not factor O'Level grades directly into the numerical aggregate calculation formula; your WAEC results are simply used as a pass/fail screening requirement (you must have at least 5 credits in your core science subjects).
​Calculating Your Current Standing
​Based on your 220 JAMB score:
220 / 8 = 27.5 points out of 50.
​Your Target Post-UTME Score
​The departmental merit cut-off mark for Medical Laboratory Science at DELSU typically hovers around 66%.
​To reach that aggregate target, you can calculate the points you need from your Post-UTME like this:
66 - 27.5 = 38.5 points required from the Post-UTME component.
​Since the Post-UTME component score is your raw test mark divided by 2, your target exam mark is calculated as:
38.5 * 2 = 77
​Summary
​To stand a safe chance of studying MLS at DELSU, you should target a raw score of 77 out of 100 on your DELSU Post-UTME screening exam. It is a high target, but highly achievable given your strong starting JAMB score.
