First: Don’t Mix Them Up!

If you are searching for “Osun Poly,” you need to be specific. There are two major state polytechnics in Osun State:

1. Osun State Polytechnic, Iree (OSPOLY).

2. Osun State College of Technology, Esa-Oke (OSCOTECH).

This guide is specifically for OSCOTECH, Esa-Oke. If you chose the school in Esa-Oke, you are in the right place.

OSCOTECH Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for OSCOTECH for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing one of the most technology-focused state institutions in the South-West.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially aligned with the national minimum for polytechnics. The OSCOTECH JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 120.

Important Reality Check:

• The 120 Benchmark: If you scored 120 and above in the 2026 UTME, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME screening form. This score qualifies you to apply for any National Diploma (ND) course.

• Is 120 Enough? Yes. OSCOTECH is generally accessible. A score of 120 is usually sufficient to get you into most departments, provided you have good O’Level grades to back it up.

• First Choice Policy: To be considered for admission, you generally need to make OSCOTECH your First Choice on JAMB CAPS. If they are currently your Second Choice, apply for a Change of Institution immediately.

Departmental Admission Targets

Since the cut-off mark is generally uniform (120) across the institution, admission is open for all accredited courses if you meet the minimum requirement. However, specific departments may have slightly higher demand.

OSCOTECH School Fees

OSCOTECH is a state-owned institution, and fees are moderate. Note that fees are usually slightly different for “Indigenes” (Osun State origin) versus “Non-Indigenes.”

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (ND 1):

• Tuition & Sundry Charges:

  • Indigenes: ~₦45,000 – ₦55,000 per session.

  • Non-Indigenes: ~₦60,000 – ₦75,000 per session.

• Acceptance Fee: Approximately ₦15,000 – ₦25,000 (This is non-refundable and paid immediately after admission to secure your slot).

• Screening Fee: ₦2,000 – ₦3,500 (Paid online during Post-UTME registration).

• Total First Year Budget: You should plan for a total of approximately ₦80,000 – ₦110,000 for your first year (excluding accommodation) to cover acceptance, tuition, and registration files.

Does OSCOTECH Write Post UTME Exams?

Yes, in the form of a CBT Screening. Unlike some schools that only do “Online Screening” (checking only your documents), OSCOTECH often conducts a Computer Based Test (CBT) screening exercise.

1. Registration: You visit the portal (admission.oscotechesaoke.edu.ng) when the form is out (usually August/September).

2. Payment: You pay the screening fee online or via scratch card from designated banks.

3. The Test: You may be invited to the campus for a CBT exam. The questions usually cover English, Mathematics, and General Knowledge.

4. Verification: Bring your original O’Level results and JAMB slip to the screening venue.

Important Admission Tips

1. Daily Part-Time (DPT): If you scored below 120 or didn’t write JAMB, OSCOTECH has a very popular Daily Part-Time (DPT) programme.

   • The Secret: DPT students attend lectures daily, just like full-time students. The certificate is the same ND certificate. The main difference is that DPT school fees are slightly higher, and you don’t need JAMB to apply.

2. O’Level Deficiencies:

   • Engineering/Science: You must have Credit in Physics and Chemistry.

   • Management: You must have Credit in Mathematics and English.

3. Location: Esa-Oke is a quiet academic town. It is accessible from Ilesa and Osogbo. Ensure you plan your accommodation early, as hostels near the school gate fill up fast.
