This is definitely meant for you if you’re a Delta State University (DELSU) aspirant. Well, you’ve found the right place to get the updated information about the admission process at Delta State University.
Now let me give you a detailed breakdown of everything I did before gaining into Delta State University!
1. Choosing DELSU During JAMB Registration:
To start your journey as an aspirant of Delta State University, make sure you select DELSU as your first choice during JAMB registration and also double check the course requirements before registration. After doing this, it is also essential to get a good JAMB score above 200 to increase your chances, although some competitive courses may require higher scores.
2. Participate in DELSU Post-UTME Screening:
After passing your JAMB successfully, you’ll have to register for DELSU’s post-UTME by purchasing the form through our online cybercafé service. This process involves paying a screening fee of 2,000 naira and giving all necessary details of your O’level result (WAEC/NECO/GCE). Print your screening slip for reference, and make sure you prepare well for aptitude questions and perform excellently in the screening to boost your chances of securing admission on merit or in the second batch.
3. Meet the O’Level Requirements:
Make sure you’re applying with at least five credit passes in all required subjects, including mathematics and English language, in not more than two sittings. To avoid disqualification or issues later on, make sure you confirm that all information is correct before applying!
4. Release of Departmental Cut-Off Mark:
DELSU normally releases departmental cut-off marks after the post-UTME screening and release of results of the post-UTME exam. Compare your scores with the cut-off mark for your desired course to know your chances of admission. If your score is below the cutoff, consider changing to a less competitive course.

5. Release of Admission List:
Delta State University usually releases admission lists through the DELSU admission portal and JAMB CAPS as well. Monitor these platforms regularly to see if you’ve been offered admission. If admitted, accept your admission on JAMB CAPS right away and start preparing for the journey ahead of you.
6. Payment of Acceptance Fee
After you accept your admission, then you can proceed to pay the DELSU acceptance fee. You are supposed to pay your acceptance fee within a week or two after you’ve been offered admission by the institution, so make sure to note the date for the deadline for payment of the acceptance fee.
7. Completion of Screening Clearance:
After paying the acceptance fee, you can proceed to start your screening process, which normally begins with the medical screening. Then you can start your screening at your faculty, department, and also the admission office, providing all necessary documents, including:
- Birth certificate
