Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic (Ibarapa Poly) Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for AOPE for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing one of the most affordable and accessible state-owned polytechnics in the South-West.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially aligned with the national minimum. The Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 100.

Important Reality Check:

• The 100 Benchmark: If you scored 100 and above in the 2026 UTME, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME screening form. This score qualifies you to apply for any National Diploma (ND) course.

• Is 100 Enough? Yes, absolutely. AOPE is very student-friendly. Unlike competitive schools in Ibadan or Lagos, where 100 is just a formality, here a score of 100 is a valid admission ticket, provided you have your 5 O-Level credits (including Mathematics and English).

The “Aggregate Score” System

This is the most important part of this guide. Admission into AOPE is not based on your JAMB score alone. The school uses a point-based system to calculate your Aggregate Score.

The Formula:

1. JAMB Score: Your JAMB score is divided by 400 and multiplied by 70.

2. O-Level Grades: Your 5 relevant subjects are graded (A1=6 points, B2=5, B3=4.5, C4=4, C5=3.5, C6=3).

3. Total: The two scores are added together.

Example:

• If you scored 180 in JAMB: (180 / 400) * 70 = 31.5 points.

• If you have 5 C6S in WAEC: 3 * 5 = 15 points.

• Total Aggregate: 31.5 + 15 = 46.5%.

Departmental Aggregate Targets

Based on this calculation, here are the Safe Aggregate Scores (not JAMB scores) you should aim for to be on the Merit List:

Faculty of Communication & Management Studies (FCMS)

• Mass Communication: 50% – 55% (This is the most competitive department; you need good O-Level grades here).

• Business Administration: 40%.

• Accountancy: 35%.

• Public Administration: 35%.

• Office Technology & Management (OTM): 35%.

Faculty of Science (FSC)

• Science Laboratory Technology (SLT): 50% – 52% (Very high demand).

• Computer Science: 35% – 40%.

• Library & Information Science: 35%.

• Statistics: 35%.

Faculty of Engineering (FENG)

• Civil Engineering: 35%.

• Electrical/Electronic Engineering: 35%.

• Mechanical Engineering: 35%.

• Computer Engineering: 35%.

Faculty of Environmental Studies (FES)

• Estate Management: 35%.

Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic School Fees

One of the biggest selling points of AOPE is its transparency with fees. The fees are broken down clearly for “Indigenes” (Oyo State origin) and “Non-Indigenes.”

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (ND 1):

• Tuition & Levies (Total Package):

  • Indigenes: ~₦115,000 – ₦120,000 per session.

  • Non-Indigenes: ~₦128,000 – ₦135,000 per session.

  • Note: This total includes tuition, medicals, ICT, and development levies.

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

• Screening Fee: ₦2,000 (Paid online during registration).

Does AOPE Write Post UTME Exams?

No. Adeseun Ogundoyin Polytechnic typically adopts an Online Screening Method.

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

2. Input Grades: You will be required to input your O-Level Grades exactly as they appear on your certificate. This is crucial for the aggregate calculation mentioned above.

3. Uploads: Upload your JAMB Result and passport photograph.

4. Verification: The system calculates your points. If you meet the departmental cut-off (e.g., 55% for Mass Comm), you are admitted.

Important Admission Tips

1. Daily Part-Time (DPP): If you scored below 100 or didn’t write JAMB, AOPE has a massive Daily Part-Time programme.

   • Good News: The lectures are held daily (just like full-time), and you wear the same matriculation gown. The only difference is the admission mode.

2. Name Consistency: Ensure the name on your JAMB result matches your O’Level result. Since admission is screening-based, any mismatch can lead to automatic disqualification.

3. HND Transition: The school runs a robust Higher National Diploma (HND) programme. You can complete your ND and HND in Eruwa without needing to transfer.
