Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, has announced an extension of the online registration deadline for its 2026/2027 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise until Monday, July 13, 2026.

DELSU extends Post-UTME application deadline, 2026/2027

Why the Deadline Was Extended & Grading Formula

According to university officials, the extension was approved primarily to give candidates who recently changed their first-choice institution to DELSU enough time to complete their online screening profiles. The core admission criteria remain unchanged:

  • Minimum UTME Cut-Off Mark: 150 and above in the 2026 UTME.
  • Composite Screening Formula:
    • 70% from your JAMB UTME Score
    • 30% from your O'Level Results

Candidates who have not yet registered—or who recently switched their first choice to DELSU on JAMB CAPS—should complete their online screening before the July 13, 2026 deadline. You can also prepare with the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.

Does the 70% JAMB and 30% O'Level screening formula mean DELSU is not writing a physical Post-UTME exam this year?

Yes, Gerald! If you scored 150 and above in the 2026 UTME, you can change your first-choice institution to DELSU on JAMB CAPS and complete your online screening before July 13, 2026.
