OGITECH Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for OGITECH for the 2026/2027 academic session, you need to pay attention because this school has a Two-Tier Cut-Off System. Unlike schools with a flat score for everyone, OGITECH sets a higher bar for its most popular courses.

JAMB Cut Off Mark Breakdown

The school management has officially aligned with the following cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 academic session:

1. General Minimum Cut-Off: 120.

   • For most Engineering and Environmental courses, if you scored 120 and above, you are eligible to apply.

2. The “Big 4” (Competitive Courses): 140.

   • If you are applying for Mass Communication, Business Administration, Public Administration, or Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), the cut-off mark is strictly 140.

   • Warning: If you scored 130 and apply for Mass Comm, you will likely be denied or migrated to a different course.

Important Reality Check:

• First Choice Policy: To be considered for admission, you generally need to make OGITECH your First Choice on JAMB CAPS. If they are currently your Second Choice, apply for a Change of Institution immediately.

• O’Level Upload: Admission here is heavily dependent on your O’Level results. You must upload them to JAMB CAPS, or your name will never appear on the admission list.

OGITECH School Fees

OGITECH is a state-owned institution, and fees are moderate, though slightly higher than some federal polytechnics.

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (ND 1):

• Tuition & Sundry Charges: You should budget between ₦60,000 and ₦90,000 per session.

  • Note: Science and Engineering students often pay towards the higher end due to laboratory and workshop levies.

• Acceptance Fee: Approximately ₦30,000 – ₦40,000 (This is non-refundable and paid immediately after admission to secure your slot).

• Screening/Application Fee: ₦2,000 (Statutory fee paid online).

• Total First Year Budget: You should plan for a total of approximately ₦100,000 – ₦130,000 for your first year (excluding accommodation) to cover acceptance, tuition, and registration files.

Does OGITECH Write Post UTME Exams?

Yes, sometimes. Unlike many polytechnics that have switched to 100% screening, OGITECH has maintained a culture of conducting a Computer Based Test (CBT) for admission in previous sessions.

1. Registration: You visit the portal (ogitech.edu.ng) when the form is out (usually July/August).

2. The Exam: If a CBT is announced, expect questions on English, Mathematics, and Current Affairs.

3. Physical Screening: Even if there is no exam, there will be a physical verification of documents.

   • Tip: Ensure the name on your JAMB result matches your O’Level result exactly. Mismatches are a major cause of disqualification here.

Important Admission Tips

1. Indigene Certificate: If you are from Ogun State, ensure you have a valid Certificate of Origin. It may help with quota considerations.

2. HND Options: The school runs a very robust Higher National Diploma (HND) programme. Transitioning from ND to HND within the school is seamless if you graduate with at least a Lower Credit.

3. Part-Time: If you scored below 120 or didn’t write JAMB, OGITECH has a popular Part-Time programme. Lectures are usually held on weekends or evenings, allowing you to work in the nearby industries (Agbara/Igbesa) while you study.
