Official Ojaja University (Formerly Crown-Hill) Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about the university formerly known as Crown-Hill University, which has been acquired, rebranded, and upgraded to Ojaja University by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
If you are searching for “Crown-Hill University” for the 2026/2027 academic session, you need to update your records: the university has entered a new era. Whether you are attracted by the new royal ownership, the focus on entrepreneurship, or the campus located in Eiyenkorin, Ilorin, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the new fee structure, and the admission reality.
Crown-Hill (Ojaja University) Cut Off Mark 2026/2027
If you are aiming for this university, you are choosing an institution that is currently undergoing a massive transformation. Located on the Ilorin-Lagos Expressway, Ojaja University is designed to be a blend of cultural heritage, academic excellence, and modern skills.
Important Note on the Name Change: When you go to the JAMB CAPS portal to accept admission or change your institution, do not look for “Crown-Hill University” if you can’t find it. Look for Ojaja University. They are the same physical campus, but with a new management and vision.
Ojaja University JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses
The school management has officially set the Ojaja University JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 140.
Important Reality Check:
-
The 140 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to access the application portal. If you scored 140 and above, you are eligible to register for screening for most courses in the Faculties of Natural & Applied Sciences and Arts, Management & Social Sciences.
-
The “Ooni’s Standard” Effect: Since the takeover by the Ooni of Ife, the university is pushing for higher standards. While 140 makes you eligible to apply, they are increasingly looking for students with strong O-Level results (Credits in English and Mathematics are non-negotiable) who are ready for a rigorous academic environment.
-
First Choice Policy: Ojaja University is very welcoming. You do not need to have chosen them as your First Choice initially. You can apply first, and then do a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS later to regularize your admission.
