DELSU Post-UTME 2026: Cut-Off, Form and How to Apply

Delta State University, Abraka, DELSU for short, is one of the most sought-after schools in the South-South, and competition for its places is real. If you picked DELSU and you are wondering how the Post-UTME screening works, here is a plain-language walkthrough of the cut-off, the fee and how to apply.

Eligibility and requirements

To apply for DELSU Post-UTME, you generally need a UTME score of 150 and above, with DELSU set as your first choice in the current UTME. You also need five O’level credits, including English and Mathematics, relevant to your course, and your O’level results must be uploaded on the JAMB portal. Direct Entry candidates are not left out: A’level, ND, NCE and similar qualifications are accepted.

How much is the form?

The DELSU screening form has typically cost around ₦2,000, but fees can change from session to session, so confirm the exact amount on the official DELSU portal before you pay, and pay only through the approved channel, never an agent’s personal account.

How to apply

• Make sure DELSU is your first choice and your O’level is uploaded on JAMB.
• Visit the official DELSU admissions portal and create an account or log in.
• Fill the Post-UTME or Direct Entry screening form carefully.
• Pay the screening fee through the approved option, then submit and print your acknowledgement slip.

Apply early in the day when the portal is less congested, and keep your acknowledgement slip safe, because you will likely need it during screening and clearance.

What many candidates miss

A strong UTME score alone does not seal admission. DELSU, like most schools, weighs your O’level grades and screening performance in your overall standing, so a weak O’level can still drag you down even after a good JAMB result. Confirm too whether the school is running a written exam or a document-based screening this year, because that decides how you prepare.

How to prepare for the screening

Once your form is submitted, treat the screening seriously whether it is a written test or a document check. If DELSU runs a written Post-UTME, practise past questions in your UTME subjects and brush up on current affairs and basic English, since the format is usually quick multiple-choice. If it is document-based, make sure every certificate, your JAMB slip and your O’level printout are clean, correctly named and ready to present. Confirm the exact venue, date and what to bring from the official portal, and arrive early with your acknowledgement slip and a valid ID. Candidates who turn up organised and calm consistently do better than those who scramble at the last minute.

Avoid these common mistakes

The errors that cost DELSU candidates are avoidable. Do not forget to make DELSU your first choice before paying, because the screening assumes it. Do not leave your O’level unuploaded on the JAMB portal, as that alone can disqualify you. Never pay the screening fee into an individual’s personal account; use only the approved channel on the portal. And do not rely on an old cut-off or fee from a previous year, since both can change. Confirm everything from the official DELSU site before you act.
