Eligible candidates can follow these general steps:

  1. Visit the official DELSU admission/application portal.
  2. Select the 2026/2027 Post-UTME application.
  3. Enter your JAMB registration number.
  4. Complete the required personal and academic information.

  7. Upload the required passport photograph and documents where applicable.
  8. Carefully review the information entered.
  9. Submit the completed application.
  10. Print or save your application slip for future reference.

The current application information says candidates should print the completed form after submission and keep it safely.

Candidates Should Upload Their O'Level Results

One of the important requirements candidates should pay attention to is the uploading of their O'Level results to the JAMB portal.

Candidates awaiting their O'Level results may be able to apply, but they are expected to upload their results to JAMB once they become available. The published DELSU admission information warns that candidates who fail to upload the required results may not be considered for admission.

Applicants should therefore check their JAMB profile and make sure their results and other admission details are properly updated.

Don't Wait Until the Last Day

Although DELSU has provided candidates with additional time, applicants should avoid waiting until the final hours of the registration period.

Late registration can create problems if a candidate experiences:

  • Internet connection issues
  • Payment difficulties
  • Incorrect information
  • Problems uploading documents
  • JAMB profile issues
  • Difficulty accessing the application portal

Completing the registration early gives candidates time to correct mistakes before the portal closes.

Check DELSU's Official Information Before Applying

Candidates should rely primarily on information released by Delta State University and its official admission platforms when making decisions about their applications.
