DELSU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Delta State University (DELSU)—located in the vibrant university town of Abraka—you are choosing a university known for its strict academic calendar and beautiful campus. DELSU is a state university that operates a Multi-Campus System (Abraka, Oleh, and Asaba), bringing quality education closer to the people. Below are the admission stats for the 2026/2027 academic year.

DELSU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the DELSU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 150.

Important Reality Check:

• The 150 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to purchase the Post-UTME form. If you score 150, you are eligible to register for screening for most courses in the Faculties of Education, Agriculture, and Arts.

• The “Professional” Benchmark: Do not be deceived; a score of 150 will NOT get you into competitive courses. For Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Pharmacy, the competition is fierce. You generally need a score of 240+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list.

• First Choice Policy: DELSU is extremely strict. You MUST choose Delta State University as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will not be able to buy the Post-UTME form.
