Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
A baseline JAMB score of 150 is officially approved for university admissions into Southern Delta University (SDU).
Use of English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Five (5) O'Level Credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at not more than two sittings (Note: Highly competitive federal departments frequently enforce a single-sitting rule).
The university utilizes an online screening format. Candidates apply online by making a ₦2,000 payment and uploading a red-background passport photograph along with other required credentials via the university portal.
Direct entry candidates must possess at least a National Diploma (Upper/Lower Credit depending on the specific programme) from a reputable institution, alongside O'Level credit prerequisites.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at SDU is assuming that hitting the university's baseline general cut-off mark ensures eligibility for the screening process. Nursing operates inside highly restrictive capacity caps mandated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). If you score below the hard departmental minimum, your portal choice will face immediate drop filters regardless of aggregate score metrics.
