Official COOU Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) cut-off marks for all courses for the 2026/2027 session. Whether you still call it ANSU or by its new name, COOU, all the necessary information concerning the JAMB cut-off mark, Departmental cut-off mark, and the crucial details about their “Two-Campus” system is listed below.

COOU Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a state university that has rapidly gained respect in the South-East. Formerly known as Anambra State University (ANSU), COOU operates a unique Multi-Campus System (Uli Campus and Igbariam Campus). We are here to provide you with the official admission stats for the upcoming 2026/2027 academic year.

COOU JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has made a public notice that the official and accepted COOU JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 150.

Important Reality Check:

• The 150 Benchmark: This is the general entry score. If you scored 150, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME form for most courses in Arts, Education, and Agriculture.

• The “Professional” Benchmark: For the “Big 4” courses—Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Nursing—a score of 150 will NOT work. The management officially sets the cut-off for these courses at 200. You must score 200+ to even buy the form for these departments.

• First Choice Policy: COOU is strict. You generally need to make them your First Choice to be considered for admission.

Does COOU Write Post UTME Exams?

Unlike UNIZIK or UNN, COOU typically does NOT conduct a physical Post-UTME examination.

Instead, they use an Internal Screening Method.

• How it works: You register online and upload your JAMB Score and O’Level Result (WAEC/NECO).

• The Grading: The admission unit calculates your average point based on your grades.

• Implication: Your O-Level result is your secret weapon. If you have A1s and B2s in your WAEC, you have a higher chance of admission than someone with just Cs, even if their JAMB score is slightly higher.

Important COOU Admission Tips for 2026/2027

To secure your admission into COOU, keep these critical points in mind:

1. Know Your Campus: Don’t get confused.

   • Uli Campus: Engineering, Sciences, and Pre-Science.

   • Igbariam Campus: Law, Arts, Social Sciences, Agriculture, and Administration.

   • Awka (Amaku): Teaching Hospital (Clinical Medicine).

2. O’Level Upload: Since there is no physical exam, you MUST upload your WAEC/NECO results to JAMB CAPS. If you leave your CAPS on “Awaiting Result,” you will not be screened.

3. Indigene Factor: COOU is owned by the Anambra State Government. Candidates who are Indigenes of Anambra State often enjoy a slightly lower cut-off mark than candidates from other states.

4. Acceptance Fee: COOU has one of the strictest deadlines for Acceptance Fee payment. Once admitted, ensure you pay immediately to avoid losing the slot.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the COOU portal, school fees, or the specific location of your faculty, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
