Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) cut-off marks significantly determine admission into Nigerian universities. It serves as a benchmark to assess the eligibility of candidates seeking admission. In this context, we’ll explore the basics of JAMB cut-off marks for universities.
Institutional Autonomy: While JAMB sets a general cut-off mark, it’s important to note that individual universities have the autonomy to set their specific cut-off marks. Some universities may choose to adopt the JAMB general cut-off mark, while others may set higher cut-off marks based on the competitiveness of their courses and the number of available slots.
Admission Criteria: JAMB scores are just one aspect of the admission criteria. Universities may consider additional factors, including post-UTME scores, O’level results, and other specific requirements for different courses. It’s essential for candidates to familiarize themselves with the admission policies of the universities they are applying to.
OAU JAMB Fixed Cut-off Mark
We are using this medium to formally inform all aspirant of obafemi awolowo university that the jamb cut off mark for all courses is 180.
You might ask: “this year i choose Obafemi Awolowo university as my choice of institution and We scored 180 in jamb but i wasn’t given admission”
180 jamb score can’t guarantee you admission into obafemi awolowo university OAU, you need to take their screening exams and also need to beat the departmental cut off mark for the course you want to study.
OAU Departmental Cut-off Mark
There are certain factors that comes into play or are looked into by the management of obafemi awolowo university when the institution wants to consider an applicant for admission.
Please note that meeting the cut off mark is not enough the institution will still have to check your O level grades. If you have As you will get 6 marks, B will give you 4 and C will give 3.
If you are from Osun state then you will be favored in the institution catchment policy.
If you are among those who performed well in the institution post UTME screening exercise and on the other hand a lot of candidates failed then there is every likelihood that you will be considered for admission.
Warning : those that have low jamb score can always go for department whose cut off mark are low. To achieve this you must get the jamb change of course and institution form.
