Olabisi Onabanjo University Cut-Off Mark For All Courses 2026

If you’re aspiring to attend Olabisi Onabanjo University in 2026 — or just planning ahead this blog post is meant for you.

In this post, I explained everything you need to know about Olabisi Onabanjo University Cut-Off Mark, including the courses offered, how to get admission, post UTME cut-off Mark.

Let’s get started

Has OOU released An admission list For 2025–2026?

Yes — OOU regularly publishes provisional admission lists for each academic session on its portal.

If you applied for the 2025/2026 session, you should check the official OOU portal (or the specific admission portal) for updates. Once your name appears on the list, you’ll need to proceed with acceptance/payment to secure your admission.

What Is The OOU Cut-Off Mark In 2026?

The general minimum cut-off mark for OOU for 2025/2026 admission is 160.

That means if you scored 160 or more in your UTME (and you chose OOU as first choice), you’re eligible to apply for OOU’s Post-UTME screening.

Important: 160 is just the baseline. Most courses — especially competitive ones — have higher departmental cut-off marks.

Which Courses Can I Study With 160 In OOU?

With a JAMB score of 160, you may be eligible to apply to many courses at OOU — but admission will also depend on:

• Whether your O’level (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) results meet requirements (usually 5 credit passes including English, Mathematics, and other relevant subjects).
• Departmental cut-off/competition — some courses require higher scores.
• According to some published departmental-cutoff lists, many arts, social-science, education, and less competitive courses may still admit students with baseline scores (e.g. 160).

So yes — with 160 you can apply for many courses, but success depends on competitiveness and aggregate performance in Post-UTME (if any).

How Much Are The School Fees For OOU (2025/2026)?

Tuition and associated fees vary depending on course, indigeneship status, and whether you’re a returning or fresh student. Here’s a breakdown based on recent data:

• For fresh/new students, total fees per session for many courses are reported in the range of ₦77,872 to ₦176,396 (depending on course and whether student is indigene or non-indigene).
• For example, for some arts/education courses (lower-cost courses), fees are on the lower end; for more resource-intensive courses (e.g. medicine, sciences), fees are toward the higher end.

Note: Fees may include tuition, but there are additional charges (e.g. TISHIP, energy levy, other levies). So when budgeting, always check whether the figure is just tuition or total fees (tuition + levies + other charges).

What Is s The Acceptance Fee For OOU 2026 (Freshers)?

The acceptance fee for newly admitted students (freshers) in 2025/2026 is ₦75,000 (non-refundable).

This fee is required to secure the admission offer — if not paid within the deadline, the admission may be forfeited.

How To Gain Admission To OOU — Step by Step

Here’s a simplified step-by-step process for gaining admission into OOU:

• Write JAMB UTME, and aim for at least the minimum score (160), but more if you want competitive courses.
• Choose OOU as your first choice institution in the UTME.
• Ensure your O’Level results meet requirements: typically 5 credit passes including English, Maths, and relevant subjects.
• Obtain Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening form when released by OOU.
• Pay the screening fee (if required) and complete the screening (Post-UTME) — often a computer-based test (CBT).
• Check admission list after screening results are out to see if you’ve been offered provisional admission.
• Pay the acceptance fee (₦75,000) to confirm admission.
• Proceed for verification and registration, at Academic Affairs and Faculty — bring required documents (UTME slip, O’level results, acceptance receipt, etc.).
• Pay school fees and other levies as soon as possible.

How Much Is The OOU Post-UTME Form (2025/2026)?

According to recent information, the screening fee (for Post-UTME) for 2025 admission was ₦2,000.

Keep in mind: Before you can register for Post-UTME, you need UTME score ≥ 160, choose OOU as first choice (or change if needed), and have uploaded O’Level results on JAMB CAPS.

What is The Minimum Score For Post-UTME In OOU?

OOU does not publicly guarantee a fixed aggregate “minimum Post-UTME score” because admission depends on course competition, departmental quotas, and aggregate performance. What they do use as baseline is the UTME cut-off (160) and internal (departmental) cut-offs that vary by course.

Hence, the best advice is: aim as high as possible (especially for competitive courses), prepare well for Post-UTME screening, and ensure strong O’Level results.

Frequent Asked Questions – FAQs

Is It Easy To Enter OOU?

It depends on the course. For less competitive courses, scoring the minimum (160) and having good O’Level results plus Post-UTME performance may be enough. For competitive courses (medicine, engineering, others), you’ll need higher scores and likely higher Post-UTME aggregates. So “easy” is relative to your course of choice.

Is OOU Post-UTME Out For 2025/2026?

Yes — OOU has released its Post-UTME / Direct Entry admission form for 2025/2026.

What Is The Age Limit For OOU?

One source related to the Post-UTME release mentions that candidates who will not be at least 16 years old by September 2025 are not eligible.
However, it’s always best to confirm via official notice for the year you apply.

Is OOU Private Or Public?

OOU is a public/state university (as opposed to a private institution).

How Many Questions Does OOU Set For Post-UTME?

We couldn’t find a reliable, up-to-date source specifying the exact number of Post-UTME questions set by OOU. It tends to vary. What is consistent is that screening is done via Computer-Based Test (CBT) for Post-UTME / Direct Entry.

Does OOU Accept 180 In JAMB?

Yes — if you score 180 in JAMB, you are already above the baseline (160), so you can use that to apply. However, final admission will still depend on departmental cut-off of your chosen course and Post-UTME/DE results.

Does OOU Accept 2nd Choice?

Most sources and admission guidelines emphasize selecting OOU as first choice at UTME registration to be eligible for admission.
If you didn’t pick OOU as first choice originally, you may need to change your choice (if allowed) before screening — but that depends on JAMB/OOU rules at that time.

Is OOU Foing Screening Or Post-UTME For 2025?

Yes — screening (Post-UTME/Direct Entry) is part of the admission process for 2025/2026.

Does OOU Have A Dress Code?

We did not find any credible, up-to-date public source confirming a formal dress code for OOU students as part of admission or general university rules. If you need info on that, it might be best to check official university handbooks or contact student affairs directly.

What Are OOU Students Called?

There’s no widely used formal nickname for OOU students that is universally recognized in sources. Typically, they’re just referred to as “OOU students” or “OOU undergraduates.”
