OOU Courses | Cut Off Mark | & Requirements [UPDATED]

This is to inform the general public, especially the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) aspirants that the JAMB cut-off mark is 160.

Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), located in Ago Iwoye, is a Nigerian university owned and operated by the state government. It holds official accreditation and recognition from the National Universities Commission (NUC) of Nigeria.

Understanding the OOU Cut Off Mark

The cut off mark is the minimum score required in UTME for candidates to be eligible for admission. JAMB sets the national minimum benchmark, but each university, including OOU, determines its own score based on competitiveness and admission capacity.

In OOU’s case:

• 160 is the general cut off mark accepted across many courses.
• However, some departments may have higher cut off marks due to a high number of applicants and limited admission quota.

Is 160 Enough to Get Into Any Course at OOU?

While 160 qualifies you for the OOU Post-UTME, it may not be sufficient for all courses, especially the more competitive ones. Departments such as:

• Law
• Medicine and Surgery
• Nursing
• Accounting
• Mass Communication
• Computer Science

often have departmental cut off marks higher than 160, typically ranging between 180 and 250. These marks are determined after the Post-UTME screening and are based on:

• Number of applicants
• Performance in UTME and Post-UTME
• Available quota in the department

OOU Departmental Cut-Off Mark

OOU departmental cut-off mark is usually different from their JAMB cut-off mark. The departmental cut-off mark is the final mark that will determine a candidate’s admission.

For years now, OOU has not made its departmental merit/ELDS/Catchment cutoff mark public.

If we should judge with previous years, then we will be right to say the OOU departmental cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 session will not be made public. But if they do make it public, we will update this page as soon as possible.

Tips to Improve Your Chances of Admission into OOU

• Score Above 160 in UTME: The higher your UTME score, the better your chances—especially in competitive departments.
• Perform well in Post-UTME: This contributes to your aggregate score and can boost your admission chances.
• Have strong O’Level results: Grades like A1–B3 across relevant subjects improve your total score.
• Consider less competitive courses: If your score is on the lower side, apply for departments with lower competition.
• Upload documents early: Ensure your O’Level results are uploaded to JAMB CAPS as soon as possible.
