Clinical Science has the highest listed score at 77.3, followed by Law at 70.5, Dentistry and Pharmacy at 70 each, and Nursing Science at 71.2.<\/p>\n<p>This update is important for candidates who took part in the DELSU admission exercise and want to know how their aggregate compares with the benchmark for their chosen programme. However, meeting a departmental cut-off mark is not the same as receiving an admission offer. Candidates should continue checking the official DELSU admission portal and JAMB CAPS for their individual status.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-left:4px solid #0b6b78;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f8f8;margin:20px 0\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> The figures below are aggregate cut-off marks reported from the DELSU official bulletin dated 9 September 2026.
