Official Oduduwa University Ipetumodu Admission Guide 2026/2027

Official Oduduwa University Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu (OUI), for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are attracted by its proximity to the ancient city of Ife, its modern architecture, or its strike-free academic calendar, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the admission screening reality, and the tuition fee breakdown.

OUI JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Oduduwa 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 Colleges of Management, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences.

• The “Health Science” Exception: While 140 makes you eligible to apply to the university, it does not guarantee admission into high-demand courses like Nursing Science. This course is the “hot cake” of the university. To be safe, you generally need a score of 180 to 200+ to stand a realistic chance on the merit list.

• First Choice Policy: Oduduwa 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 regularise your admission.

Oduduwa University Departmental Admission Targets

While 140 qualifies you for general screening, admission into professional courses involves meeting specific departmental minimums. Below are the Safe JAMB Scores you should aim for to be confident of admission.
