💡 Pro Tip: Calculating your aggregate score is key for DELSU. Since they divide your JAMB score by 8 and your Post-UTME score by 2, your performance in the Post-UTME carries significantly more weight than JAMB. Aim for at least 60/100 in the Post-UTME.

Admission Hack
DELSU's aggregate formula gives a massive mathematical advantage to candidates who score high in the Post-UTME. Because your JAMB score is divided by 8 (max 50 points) and your Post-UTME score is divided by 2 (max 50 points), a candidate with a mediocre 180 in JAMB can easily overtake a candidate with 250 in JAMB simply by outperforming them in the Post-UTME CBT. Furthermore, as a state-owned institution, DELSU heavily prioritizes indigenes of Delta State for admission quotas and offers them significantly lower tuition fees compared to non-indigenes.
Campus Survival
You must confirm your campus before making any housing or travel arrangements. If you are admitted for Law or Engineering, you are not going to Abraka; you will be heading to the Oleh Campus, which is located in the Isoko South LGA (quite a distance away). For students at the Main Campus in Abraka, campus life is heavily influenced by the beautiful River Ethiope. Off-campus accommodation in Abraka is abundant in areas like 'Site 2' and 'Site 3', but you must secure housing early as the best spots are taken by returning students immediately after the session begins.
