Minimum Requirements (Eligibility Basics)
📊
JAMB Score
160 is what OOU usually uses as least cutoff to obtain the Post-UTME form. It is not yet officially confirmed for this year. It only makes you eligible — it does NOT guarantee admission.
🎯
First Choice
OOU must be your first choice on JAMB CAPS. Change it if needed before or during screening.
📝
O'Level Results
At least 5 credits (including English & Maths), maximum 2 sittings. Must be uploaded on JAMB CAPS — if not, no admission even with a high score.
🎂
Age Requirement
At least 16 years old by September.
📚
Subject Combination
Must match your course exactly (check the JAMB brochure). Wrong combination = automatic disqualification.
2
Screening Format & What to Expect
🖥️
CBT
OOU ICT Centre, Main Campus, Ago-Iwoye
❓
~50
Questions to Answer
⏱️
30–45
Minutes Duration

Questions are drawn from your JAMB subjects plus possible current affairs. English sections may cover comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and idioms.

💡 Pro Tip: Time is short — speed & accuracy matter. Practice past questions consistently before your screening date!

Aggregate Score Calculation
⚠️ This is NOT the official calculation method yet
JAMB Score ÷ 8 = max 50 points
Post-UTME = max 50 points
─────────────────────
Final Aggregate = JAMB + Post-UTME
📌 Example: 240 in JAMB → 240 ÷ 8 = 30 points. Add your Post-UTME score to get your final aggregate.
Minimum aggregate is typically around 40–50% depending on your course. A higher aggregate always gives you better chances.
🔥 Competitive Courses — Medicine, Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, Mass Comm, Engineering, Computer Science — require much higher scores. Aim for 200+ in JAMB plus a strong Post-UTME performance.
4
Competitive Reality
❌ Low Score Warning
160 is just a baseline from previous years — it is not enough for competitive courses. Know your chances honestly.
✅ Less Competitive Courses
Some departments may accept lower aggregates. Research the cutoff trends for your specific course.
🏛️ Important: Admission is processed strictly through JAMB CAPS. There is no "connection" or manual admission pathway — don't fall for scammers.
5
Common Mistakes to Avoid ❌
🚫Not uploading your O'Level results to JAMB CAPS
🚫Using the wrong subject combination for your course
🚫Not showing up for the Post-UTME screening at all
🚫Getting a low Post-UTME score that drags down your aggregate

🚫Not practicing past JAMB and Post-UTME questions
🚫Applying to a highly competitive course with a low score and no backup plan

          Join our WhatsApp group      For every aspirant seeking admission into Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), knowing your aggregate score is one of the most important steps in understanding your chances of being admitted. Your aggregate is a combination of both your UTME and Post-UTME results, and it determines whether you meet the requirement for full-time admission. Many students focus only on passing UTME, but the truth is that OOU gives weight to both exams, and this final score is what decides if you are eligible. It is important to note that the minimum aggregate score required for full-time admission into OOU is 40%. This means that if your score falls below 40, you will not be considered for admission, no matter how well you performed in UTME or Post-UTME individually. However, scoring above the minimum gives you a stronger chance, especially if your chosen course has a competitive cutoff. For example, courses like Medicine, Law, a...
