Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into Ede Poly, you need to understand the “Osun” advantage:

1. The Cut-Off Mark Strategy

• Official Mark: The polytechnic generally accepts a JAMB score of 120.

• The “Merit” Trap: However, for “Hot Cake” courses like SLT, Computer Science, and Accountancy, the competition is fierce. You often need 160 – 180+ to be on the Merit list.

• Safety Net: If you score between 120-140, consider applying for less competitive courses like Horticulture, Geological Technology, or Leisure and Tourism to secure admission first, then you can try to change departments later (if allowed) or focus on the course.

2. The DPT Option (No JAMB)

• Low Score? If you scored below 120 or didn’t write JAMB, buy the Daily Part-Time (DPT) form.

• Why DPT? As mentioned earlier, DPT at Ede Poly is almost identical to Full-Time in terms of lecture quality and duration (2 years). It is the best backup plan for students who miss the UTME cut-off.

3. Location Factor

• Campus: The school has two campuses (North and South) located close to each other in Ede town.

• Accommodation: Ede is a student-friendly town with very affordable private hostels. It is just a few minutes’ drive from Osogbo, the state capital.
