Check the OOU cut off mark for 2025. See if you qualify and get ready to apply. Read now to know the admission rules.
The OOU post-UTME form will soon be out. If you want to apply, you must read this guide. The school leaders at Olabisi Onabanjo University have shared the cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 school year. All students who want to apply should check the OOU cut-off mark and make sure they reach it.
Why is the OOU Cut-Off Mark important? It is because the cut-off mark is the first thing you must meet before you can move forward with admission. The cut-off mark is the lowest JAMB score you must get to be allowed to study at OOU.
Every year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) sets a general cut-off mark. After that, schools like universities and polytechnics set their own marks but still follow JAMB’s rules.
If you want to study any course at OOU, you must check the OOU cut-off mark for 2025. You will also see other admission steps you must follow to get admitted this year.
OOU Cut-Off Mark For 2025/2026 Admission
The OOU cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 admission is 160. If you took the JAMB exam, you should check your score now. If you scored 160 or higher, you are allowed to apply to study at OOU.
But there is something more you should know. The 160 cut-off mark is not for all departments. Some departments are harder to get into and ask for a higher score. So after checking the general cut-off mark, also check the cut-off mark for the course you want to study.
Meeting the OOU cut-off mark is very important. But you also need to meet other rules like having the right O’level results and picking OOU as your first choice during JAMB registration. Read the next parts to know all the steps you must follow.
