Are you preparing to apply to Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka? Understanding the DELSU Post-UTME screening process can help you prepare your documents, check your eligibility and avoid mistakes when the university opens its admission screening application.
DELSU publishes screening instructions through its official website and admission announcements. Requirements, application fees, cut-off marks and deadlines can change from one admission session to another. Candidates should therefore confirm the notice for their intended session before paying or submitting an application.
Important update: This guide explains the general screening process and includes a clearly labelled example from DELSU’s 2025/2026 admission notice. It is not confirmation that the 2026/2027 screening application is currently open. Check the official DELSU website and its news and announcements page for the latest notice.
What Is DELSU Post-UTME Screening?
Post-UTME screening is part of the admission process used by universities to assess candidates who seek admission through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
For DELSU applicants, the screening process may involve checking eligibility, completing an online application, supplying examination and personal details, uploading requested documents and following any further instructions issued by the university.
The exact procedure depends on DELSU’s official admission notice for the relevant academic session. Do not assume that every year has the same requirements or application dates.
DELSU Post-UTME Screening Requirements
Before beginning an application, prepare to verify the following requirements against the current official notice.
1. UTME result and institution choice
Check the university-choice and UTME-score requirements stated in DELSU’s current screening announcement.
In its notice for the 2025/2026 admission session, DELSU invited candidates who selected the university as their first choice and scored at least 150 to apply. That figure is a historical requirement for that session, not a confirmed cut-off mark for 2026/2027.
Read the official 2025/2026 screening notice and check the current announcement before relying on any score.
If DELSU permits candidates who initially selected another institution to apply after changing their first choice, follow the instructions and deadline stated in the applicable notice. Do not assume that a change of institution will be accepted after an application window closes.
2. O’Level results
Prepare your O’Level results, such as WAEC, NECO or another examination accepted by the university for your programme.
Check the subject requirements for your chosen course. The required subjects and number of credits may differ by programme, so a candidate should not rely on a general list alone.
You can also use the JAMB IBASS Eligibility Checker to review programme requirements by selecting your entry mode, institution, course, O’Level results and UTME subject combination.
3. Correct course and subject combination
Confirm that your UTME subject combination matches the requirements for your intended course. Also check whether your O’Level subjects meet the programme requirements.
If you are uncertain, check JAMB’s eligibility information and the university’s official programme requirements before submitting an application.
4. Personal details and contact information
Use accurate details that agree with your examination and application records. Keep access to the phone number and email address you provide, because the university may use them to communicate further instructions.
5. Application fee and deadline
Do not assume the screening fee or deadline from a previous session still applies. Confirm the current amount, official payment method, opening date and closing date in DELSU’s latest announcement.
Never send money to an individual who claims to be an admission agent or use an unofficial payment link.
How to Apply for DELSU Post-UTME Screening
Follow the steps below as a preparation guide. When the current application opens, the live instructions on the official DELSU application portal take priority.
Step 1: Visit DELSU’s official website
Go to Delta State University’s official website and look for the latest admission or Post-UTME announcement.
Read the notice carefully to confirm the academic session, eligibility criteria, application deadline, fee and official portal.
Step 2: Open the correct application portal
Use the application link provided in the official announcement. Do not rely on a portal link copied from an old social media post without checking that it applies to the current admission exercise.
DELSU has previously directed applicants to its student portal for screening applications. However, the correct form and portal link should always be confirmed from the current notice.
Step 3: Enter your UTME details
Where requested, enter your JAMB registration number and other required details carefully. Review your information before continuing.
If the portal reports a mismatch or error, follow the official instructions for resolving it instead of creating multiple applications.
Step 4: Complete the application form
Fill in the required personal, examination and programme details. Supply O’Level information and any other requested information exactly as instructed.
Check spelling, examination numbers, subject grades, course selection and contact details before proceeding.
Step 5: Make payment through the authorised channel
If the current screening notice requires a fee, use only the payment method and portal identified by DELSU.
Confirm that the transaction is successful and keep the payment receipt or reference. Do not make another payment immediately if the first transaction appears delayed; first check the portal and follow its support instructions.
Step 6: Upload the requested information
Upload your passport photograph, O’Level details or other documents only in the format and size accepted by the portal.
Review each uploaded item to ensure it is legible and belongs to you.
Step 7: Submit and save your application
Review the completed form, submit it and save or print the confirmation page if the portal provides one.
Keep your application details and payment evidence somewhere secure. You may need them to confirm registration or follow later screening instructions.
Note: The exact steps, labels and documents can change. Follow the live instructions displayed on the official application portal rather than treating this general guide as a substitute for the current notice.
What Happens After You Apply?
After submitting your application, regularly check the contact details you registered and DELSU’s official announcements.
Depending on the current admission exercise, candidates may receive additional instructions about screening, verification, admission status or other stages of the process.
You should also monitor your JAMB profile for admission-related updates and follow any instructions issued by the university and JAMB.
Submitting a screening form does not automatically guarantee admission. Admission depends on the university’s applicable criteria, available spaces and the outcome of its admission process.
Common DELSU Post-UTME Application Mistakes to Avoid
- Using an old cut-off mark: A score stated in a previous session’s notice may not apply to the next session.
- Missing the deadline: Confirm the official closing date and do not wait until the last moment to submit.
- Choosing the wrong subject combination: Check the requirements for your specific programme.
- Entering incorrect details: Review your JAMB number, O’Level results and contact information before submission.
- Using unofficial payment links: Make payments only through the channel authorised in the current notice.
- Ignoring official updates: Check DELSU’s announcements and registered contact details regularly.
