AndrewThe Delta State College of Nursing Sciences admission form for the 2026/2027 academic session is officially open, and applications are currently being accepted across all five campuses. The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences management has officially opened admissions for its National Diploma Nursing programme at campuses in Agbor, Asaba, Eku, Warri, and Sapele. The CBT entrance examination has been scheduled for Friday, August 15, 2026, which means candidates must complete their registration, bank payment, and form collection well before that date.
If you scored 150 and above in the 2026 JAMB UTME and are looking for a verified, currently active nursing admission exercise in the South South, the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences is one of the strongest options available right now. Five campuses across Delta State mean this institution has broader geographic reach than almost any other standalone nursing college in Nigeria. This guide covers who qualifies, how the three-step application process works, the CBT examination details, all five campus contact lines, and why the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences deserves serious attention from candidates in this cycle.
About the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences
The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences is a state government-owned nursing training institution operating across five campuses spread through the major population centres of Delta State. The five campuses are located in Agbor, Asaba, Eku, Warri, and Sapele, covering Delta North, Delta Central, and Delta South senatorial districts. No other standalone nursing college in Nigeria’s South South has this kind of geographic footprint.
The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences is accredited by both the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) to run its National Diploma and nursing programmes. Graduates of the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences who pass the NMCN Final Qualifying Examination are registered as Registered Nurses (RN) with the full professional recognition that certification carries.
The five-campus structure means candidates from different parts of Delta State have access to the same accredited nursing training programme without needing to relocate far from their communities. A candidate in Warri applies to the Warri campus. A candidate in Asaba applies to the Asaba campus. A candidate in the Eku or Agbor or Sapele corridor applies to their nearest campus. The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences is built around that geographic logic.
Programme Available for 2026/2027
The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences 2026/2027 admission exercise covers the following core programme:
National Diploma in Nursing (ND Nursing) The entry-level general nursing programme open to fresh candidates from secondary school. The ND Nursing programme runs across all five campuses of the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences. Upon completion of the programme and passing the NMCN Final Qualifying Examination, graduates are certified as Registered Nurses (RN).
This is the primary programme open to new candidates for 2026/2027. HND and Post Basic programmes at the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences have their own separate admission cycles and requirements. Fresh candidates from secondary school should apply for the ND Nursing programme only.
Eligibility Requirements for the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences
Every candidate must satisfy all of the following conditions before applying.
JAMB Score A minimum score of 150 in the 2026 JAMB UTME is required. After confirming your score meets this threshold, you must proceed to any JAMB accreditation centre to change your preferred institution to the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences campus of your choice: Agbor, Warri, Eku, Asaba, or Sapele. The institution change must be completed before you apply.
O’Level Requirements You must possess a minimum of five credit passes in the following subjects from WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
Credits from WAEC and NECO must be obtained in not more than two sittings. NABTEB credits must be obtained in only one sitting. The Delta State College of Nursing Sciences accepts NABTEB as a standalone result, but only if all five required credits appear on that single sitting result.
Age Requirement Applicants must be 16 years or older. This is the lowest minimum age among all the nursing colleges we have covered in this series so far, making the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences accessible to younger candidates who are academically ready.
The Three-Step Application Process at Delta State College of Nursing Sciences
This is where the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences differs significantly from most other nursing colleges in Nigeria. The application process is not a single online registration. It runs in three sequential steps involving a bank payment, a physical form collection, and then an online portal completion. Skipping or reversing any of these steps will invalidate your application.
Step 1: Bank Payment
Visit any Zenith Bank branch and make a non-refundable payment of N20,500 using the following account details:
- Account Name: Ministry of Health, Dept of Nursing and Midwifery
- Account Number: 1015649624
- Bank: Zenith Bank
After making the payment, collect your bank teller immediately. This teller is your proof of payment and is required for the next step. Do not lose it.
Step 2: Collection of Physical Form
Take your Zenith Bank teller to the Bursary Department of the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences campus you have chosen as your preferred campus. Collect your physical application form from the Bursary.
The physical form contains a Unique Online Application ID. This ID is the key you will use in Step 3 to access the online portal and complete your registration. Fill out the physical form accurately with your correct O’Level and JAMB details before proceeding.
Step 3: Online Registration and QR Code Generation
Visit the official Delta State College of Nursing Sciences portal at dscns.ng. Enter your Unique Online Application ID in the field provided and click Continue. Upload your passport photograph, fill in your details, and complete the online registration. Save and print your completed form, which will display a generated QR code.
Final Submission: After printing your completed online form, submit photocopies of both the physical form and the online printout with the QR code to the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences campus of your choice. Both documents must be submitted together.
The QR code printed on your online form is also what you must bring to the CBT examination venue on August 15. Without the original copy of your form and the QR code printout, you will not be admitted to the examination centre.

Why the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences Is a Strong Choice This Cycle
This institution stands out among nursing colleges currently selling forms in the South South for several reasons.
The JAMB cut-off of 150 is one of the most accessible among accredited nursing colleges in the zone. Candidates who scored between 150 and 179 and are not eligible for UBTH CONS (180) or OAUTHC (180) can apply here without needing to wait for another cycle or settle for an unaccredited institution.
The minimum age of 16 years is also the lowest among all colleges in this series. Younger candidates who completed secondary school early and have their five O’Level credits ready can apply without waiting until they turn 17.
The five-campus spread means the institution is geographically within reach for almost any candidate in the state, whether they live in the Asaba corridor in Delta North, the Ughelli and Sapele axis in Delta Central, or the Warri axis in Delta South.
