HOW TO APPLY FOR DELSU VACANCIES
Candidates who wish to take advantage of the available vacancies are required to follow the process below:
Step 1: Candidates should carry out a change of course/programme on the JAMB portal, selecting a programme whose cut-off mark is lower than their aggregate score.
Step 2: After completing the change on JAMB, candidates should visit the Delta State University admission portal to effect the change made on JAMB.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES
Candidates are required to upload evidence of their change of course/programme on the JAMB portal to the university’s portal.
The new programme selected must have a cut-off mark lower than the candidate’s aggregate score. Candidates whose scores do not meet the cut-off mark of the newly selected programme will not be considered.
For example, the cut-off mark for Public Health is 50. Therefore, only candidates with an aggregate score of 50 and above who have not been admitted can change to Public Health.
Candidates must also ensure that their UTME and UME subjects align with the admission requirements of the new programme. Their O’Level results should also be uploaded on the JAMB portal.
