Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into an Ogun State Government Polytechnic, you need to understand the current strategy:

1. The “MAPOLY” Switch

• The Reality: Since the Ipokia campus is not yet admitting students independently, you should direct your application to Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta. It is the institution currently running the accreditation for the courses listed above.

• Cut-Off Mark: The general cut-off is 120, but for Mass Communication and SLT, you need 150+ to be safe.

2. The Alternative: OGITECH

• Igbesa Option: If you specifically want a polytechnic in the Yewa/Awori axis (closer to Ipokia), consider the Ogun State Institute of Technology (OGITECH), Igbesa. It is fully functional, accredited, and runs very similar courses (Engineering, Science, Accountancy).

3. Scam Alert

• Fake Forms: Be very careful of cybercafes selling “Ipokia Poly” forms. Unless the Ogun State Government makes an official announcement about the resumption of the Ipokia campus for 2026, those forms are likely fake. Always check the portal URL.
