Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria is a big university with many undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Founded in 1961, it’s a place of academic excellence.

Regarding accommodation, OAU has both on-campus and off-campus options. On-campus hostels are Angola, Awolowo, ETF, Fajuyi for male students and Akintola, Alumni, Moremi, Mozambique for female students.

Postgraduate students are in Muritala Muhammad Hall. Private hostels like Maintenance Hall, Amazing Grace Hostel and Ojaja Hall are also available. But reports say conditions may not always meet up to expectations.

In terms of sports, OAU has a full-fledged sports centre with modern facilities.

The centre has IAAD-compliant swimming pool, tartan track, volleyball court, tennis court, squash court, hockey pitch, two football pitches (one with a covered pavilion), gymnasium and an indoor multipurpose sports court.

These facilities are used for sports activities and competitions like NUGA and WAUG.

For healthcare, OAU has a health centre that caters for students and staff.

While the centre is meant to attend to minor and non-life threatening health issues, some students have complained of the quality of service and attitude of the staff.

So while the health centre is available, there’s room for improvement in service delivery.

OAU has facilities for student life; accommodation, sports and healthcare. But experiences may differ and some may need improvement.

How OAU Screening Score is Determined

How OAU Screening Score is Determined

  1. The number of applicants applying for admission this year will determine the cut-off mark.
  2. The availability of admission quotas in each department determines the cut-off point.
  3. Both JAMB and OAU Post-UTME screening performances overall influence the cut-off marks.
  4. OAU admission policy also plays a role in determining departmental cut-off marks.

Additional Information

  • If your JAMB score is below 200, you are ineligible for OAU Post UTME screening.
  • Meeting JAMB and OAU cut-off marks is necessary, but meeting additional requirements is also essential for admission consideration.
  • Highly competitive courses like Law, Medicine, and Nursing, among others, typically have higher cut-off points.

Conclusion

Admission is also based on cut off mark and you must take this very serious. This cut off mark applies to all candidates who want to participate in the Post UTME screening. It is determined by the number of candidates and the number of spaces in each department. You must score the required JAMB score to qualify for the Post UTME screening. Without it you will not be allowed to participate.

Your performance in the Post UTME screening also matters in getting admission. So you must prepare well to excel in both JAMB and Post UTME. Remember meeting JAMB and departmental cut off mark doesn’t guarantee admission as other requirements may be considered. These may include your grades, subject combination or other requirements set by the school.

Try to score high in JAMB and Post UTME. Plan early and be consistent to stand a chance in the limited spaces in your department.

    According to what I saw online it says that OAU post utme registration starts on June 24th and ends July 24th and it says that the post utme exercise will commence by August 15th. My question is that I’m writing my waec this year, so I’m wondering if my result will meet up with the selected date?
