Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

1. The Cut-Off Mark Strategy

• General Cut-Off: OAUSTECH generally sets a minimum cut-off of 150.

• Departmental Targets:

  • Nursing Science: You need a high JAMB score (200+) and a strong Post-UTME score. Recent data shows the departmental cut-off for Nursing often hovers around 60-65% in the screening aggregate.

  • Med Lab: Aim for 180 – 190+.

  • Engineering/Computer Science: Aim for 160 – 170.

  • Agriculture/Science: 150 is usually safe.

2. Catchment Area

• The university is owned by the Ondo State Government.

3. Direct Entry (DE)

• OAUSTECH accepts JUPEB and National Diploma (ND) (Upper Credit preferred).

• JUPEB: The university runs its own JUPEB programme. If you fail JAMB, you can enroll in OAUSTECH JUPEB, and admission into 200 Level is almost guaranteed if you pass.
