Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into OSPOLY Iree, you need to understand the strategy:

1. The Cut-Off Mark Strategy

• Official Mark: The polytechnic generally accepts a JAMB score of 100 – 120.

• Flexibility: Iree is known to be admission-friendly. If you scored 120+, your admission into competitive courses like SLT or Mass Comm is likely, provided your O’Level result is strong.

2. The Daily Part-Time (DPT) Route

• No JAMB? If you missed the JAMB cut-off, buy the DPT Form immediately it comes out (usually around August/September).

• Same Certificate: The National Diploma you get from DPT is the exact same standard as Full-Time. Employers generally do not discriminate between the two for OSPOLY graduates because of the rigorous daily schedule.

3. Location Awareness

• Iree Town: The school is located in Iree, near Ikirun. It is distinct from Osogbo.

• Accommodation: OSPOLY does not have a large internal hostel system. 90% of students live in private hostels (“Villas”) in Iree town. Plan your budget for Off-Campus rent.
