If you took the 2026 UTME and listed Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku (DSPG) on your JAMB profile, your next step is the Post-UTME screening.
This process turns your JAMB score into a real chance at admission for the National Diploma (ND) Regular I programmes.
Making the right choices and ensuring your documents are accurate matter as much as your score.
Below is a clear and practical guide to the DSPG Post-UTME Form for the 2026/2027 academic session.

What Is the DSPG Post-UTME Screening For?
The DSPG Post-UTME is the school’s admission screening for those who want to join its full-time National Diploma Regular I programmes.
It takes place after JAMB UTME results are out.
DSPG uses this process to check your eligibility, test you with a Computer-Based Test (CBT), and ensure your documents match what you submit in person.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply for the DSPG Post UTME Form
- Check that your JAMB details are correct: Make sure DSPG is your first or second choice, or complete a Change of Institution if needed.
- Visit the official DSPG portal at mydspg.edu.ng.
- Click “Student,” then “Admission,” then select “ND Application Form.”
- Enter your personal, academic, and O’Level details carefully, making sure they match your JAMB profile exactly.
- Pay the non-refundable N2,000 screening fee online using a Verve or Mastercard Interswitch ATM card.
- Submit your application and keep your confirmation/receipt safe.
- Look out for your screening invitation. Only shortlisted candidates get screening dates, so check the portal and your contact details often instead of waiting for a personal call.
- Go to your CBT and physical screening with your original documents. Bring your JAMB slip, O’Level results, passport photo, and any other documents the Admissions Office asks for.
What Happens During Screening
DSPG’s screening process has two clear components:
Computer-Based Test (CBT): All registered candidates are scheduled for a CBT, which typically tests general knowledge and subject readiness relevant to admission requirements.
Physical credential verification: After the CBT, DSPG will verify your original certificates and registration documents in person to ensure they match what you submitted online.
If your information is false or inconsistent, you will be disqualified.
To stay eligible, you must be accurate when you apply.
Application Deadline
The DSPG Post-UTME application for 2026/2027 closes on 1st October 2026.
Since screening dates are only sent out after you apply and sometimes with little notice, it’s best to apply early.
This gives you time to gather your documents, fix any JAMB CAPS issues, and avoid last-minute portal problems.
After Screening: What Determines Final Admission?
Even if you pass the CBT and document check, admission is not guaranteed.
DSPG considers several factors:
- Your UTME score
- Your CBT screening performance
- The strength and relevance of your O’Level results
- Available slots in your chosen department, since demand varies significantly across DSPG’s seven schools
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What happens if I meet the UTME cut-off mark but forgot to change my course of study on JAMB CAPS?
Your application is likely to be delayed or rejected at verification, since DSPG explicitly requires your JAMB-registered course to match what you’re applying for.
Resolve this through JAMB CAPS before submitting your DSPG form, not after.
2. Can I apply for DSPG Post-UTME if I chose the institution as my third or fourth choice?
Not directly.
DSPG’s stated eligibility rule covers candidates who selected it as first or second choice.
If it were ranked lower, you’d need to complete a JAMB Change of Institution to DSPG first.
3. Is the N2,000 screening fee separate from tuition or acceptance fees?
Yes, completely separate.
The N2,000 fee only covers your Post-UTME screening registration.
If you’re offered admission afterwards, you’ll need to pay a separate acceptance fee and tuition, which DSPG communicates separately.
4. Does DSPG give preference to Delta State indigenes during Post-UTME screening?
DSPG hasn’t explicitly stated this as part of its Post-UTME screening criteria in its published admission notices, though indigene status commonly affects tuition fee tiers at state-owned institutions.
For screening and admission specifically, confirm directly with the Admissions Office if this matters to your situation.
5. Can I still register if my O’Level result is currently being processed or awaited?
DSPG’s published requirements list specific credit conditions without explicitly addressing candidates awaiting results, so confirm this directly with the Admissions Office (via the contact details on the portal) before assuming either way.
6. What if I don’t hear back after submitting my application? Does that mean I wasn’t shortlisted?
Not necessarily. DSPG states that screening dates are communicated exclusively to shortlisted candidates, which means there may be a delay before you’re notified.
Regularly checking the portal is more reliable than assuming rejection based on silence alone.
7. Is there a way to correct a mistake on my application after submission?
DSPG hasn’t published a clear self-service correction process in its Post-UTME notice, so if you notice an error after submitting, your safest option is to contact the Admissions Office directly (via the official phone line or email) as early as possible rather than waiting until screening.
8. Do all seven schools at DSPG have the same level of competition for admission?
No.
While DSPG doesn’t publish separate departmental cut-off marks, demand naturally varies; courses like Accountancy, Computer Science, and Mass Communication tend to attract more applicants relative to available slots than less commonly chosen programmes like Metallurgical Engineering or Social Development.
Final Thoughts
The DSPG Post UTME Form for 2026/2027 is simple in theory, but most problems come from administrative mistakes like the wrong JAMB choice, not updating your course, or applying too close to the deadline.
Make sure your JAMB CAPS details are correct, apply early on the official mydspg.edu.ng portal, and take both the CBT and document checks seriously.
Doing these things well gives you a strong chance of admission to DSPG.
