This post contains the Rivers State University (RSU) departmental cut off mark for all the courses at the University.
The Rivers State University (RSU) general cut off mark for the 2022/2023 academic admission session is 180.
Students who score 180 and above in the 2022 JAMB examination are eligible to apply for the RSU Post UTME screening.
The DELSU cut off mark is a combination of your JAMB score and your Post UTME score.
Here is the step to calculate your RSU aggregate score;
- Divide your JAMB score by 8
- Know your RSU Post UTME score
- Add your JAMB score divided by 8 to your Post UTME score.
For example, you have a JAMB score of 220 and a Post UTME score of 41.
The calculation for your aggregate score is;
- JAMB Score: 220/8 = 27.5
- RSU Post UTME Score = 41
- RSU Aggregate Score: 27.5 + 41 = 68.5
Your aggregate score will determine if you will get the course you have applied to study at Rivers State University.
Let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further clarification.
Also, you can read my post on how to prepare and pass the RSU Post UTME exams here.

It depends on the career part you want to choose.
Geology may be a better option.

Yes
Please does rsu round what ever figure up ?
E.g you had 64.5 is it gonna be 65 orrr just 64 or they are going to leave it like that 64.5

It doesn’t round up.
But there is a high chance of admission with such a borderline score.

Ben,
Have you checked again if you have been offered admission?
I applied for Law and my aggregate is 61.4 while the cut off point is 67, is there a possibility of me gaining admission.
Secondly, do they consider catchment area in their admission?
It is best to purchase the change of course form.
