Southern Delta University (SDU), Ozoro, formerly known as Delta State University of Science and Technology, has announced a minimum UTME cut off mark of 150 for the 2026/2027 academic session. Candidates who scored 150 or above in the 2026 UTME and meet the other admission requirements can proceed with the university's admission process.

The 150 score serves as the general minimum requirement for the courses listed by the university. However, scoring the minimum mark does not guarantee admission into every programme, especially where the number of applicants is high and available spaces are limited.

If you are planning to study at SDU, your JAMB score is only one part of the admission process. You should also confirm the requirements for your preferred course, complete the Post UTME screening process and ensure that your O'Level results and other credentials meet the university's conditions.

SDU Cut Off Mark for 2026/2027

The official JAMB cut off mark for Southern Delta University for the 2026/2027 academic session is 150.

Candidates who scored at least 150 in the 2026 UTME can apply for admission into eligible programmes, provided they meet the other requirements set by the university.

However, candidates with a score close to the minimum mark should carefully consider the competitiveness of their preferred course. If you have a low JAMB score and are applying for a highly competitive programme, choosing a less competitive course may improve your chances of gaining admission.

Does SDU Have Departmental Cut Off Marks?

The general SDU cut off mark is 150, but the actual score required for admission may vary from one course to another.

A departmental cut off mark is the score used to determine the final admission chances of candidates after considering factors such as the number of applicants, available spaces, UTME performance and the competitiveness of the programme.

SDU has not publicly released separate departmental merit, catchment or ELDS cut off marks for the 2026/2027 academic session. Therefore, candidates should not assume that scoring exactly 150 guarantees admission into a highly competitive course.

What to Do If You Scored 150 in JAMB

If you scored 150 in the 2026 UTME, you meet the general SDU cut off mark. However, you should still ensure that you complete the required Post UTME screening and meet the O'Level requirements for your chosen programme.

If your preferred course is highly competitive, you may also consider a less competitive programme if your score is not strong enough compared with the scores of other applicants. This can improve your chances of being considered for admission.

SDU Post UTME Screening

Candidates who meet the minimum UTME score should proceed with the SDU Post UTME screening when the application window is open.

You should ensure that:

  • You meet the minimum UTME score of 150.

  • You chose SDU as your first choice institution or complete a JAMB Change of Institution where necessary.

  • You have the required O'Level credit passes for your course.

  • Your UTME subject combination matches your chosen programme.

  • Your O'Level result is uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal.
