Official Osun State Polytechnic Iree (OSPOLY) Admission Guide 2026/2027

Official Osun State Polytechnic Iree Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about Osun State Polytechnic, Iree (OSPOLY) for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are searching for the cut-off mark for Mass Communication, distinguishing between the “Daily Part-Time” and “Full-Time” programs, or just want to confirm if the school is affiliated with UNILORIN, this guide covers it all.

First: Don’t Mix Up Your “Osun” Schools

If you are searching for “Osun Poly,” be careful. There are two major state polytechnics in Osun State that sound similar but are very different:

1. Osun State College of Technology, Esa-Oke (OSCOTECH): Located in Esa-Oke.

2. Osun State Polytechnic, Iree (OSPOLY): Located in Iree.

This guide is specifically for OSPOLY Iree. If you chose the school in Iree, you are in the right place.

Osun State Polytechnic Iree Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for OSPOLY Iree for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing one of the most populated and vibrant polytechnics in the South-West.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially aligned with the accessible minimum for polytechnics. The Osun State Polytechnic Iree JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 100.

Important Reality Check:

• The 100 Benchmark: If you scored 100 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 100 Enough? Yes, for many courses. OSPOLY is designed to be accessible. However, for “Hot Cake” courses, 100 is just the starting line.

• First Choice Policy: To be considered for admission, you generally need to make OSPOLY Iree 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 (100) across the institution, admission is open for all accredited courses if you meet the minimum requirement. However, specific departments have higher demand, meaning you need a stronger profile (High JAMB + Good O’Level) to get in on the first list.

Faculty of Information & Communication Technology

• Computer Science: 120+ (Very popular; 100 is risky here without great O’Levels).

• Mass Communication: 130+ (The most competitive course in the school).

• Office Technology & Management (OTM): 100+.

Faculty of Science

• Science Laboratory Technology (SLT): 120+ (High demand).

• Food Science & Technology: 110+.

• Statistics: 100+.

Faculty of Engineering

• Civil Engineering: 110+.

• Electrical/Electronic Engineering: 110+.

• Mechanical Engineering: 110+.

• Computer Engineering: 110+.

• Requirement: You must have Credit in Physics and Chemistry for all engineering courses.

Faculty of Financial Studies

• Accountancy: 120+.

• Banking & Finance: 100+.

The “Daily Part-Time” (DPT) Secret

If you scored below 100 or didn’t write JAMB at all, do not panic. OSPOLY Iree is famous for its Daily Part-Time (DPT) programme.

• What is it? It is an admission pathway that does not require JAMB.

• Is it “Part-Time”? In name only. DPT students at Iree attend lectures daily (Monday to Friday), just like Full-Time students. They share the same campus and facilities.

• The Difference: The school fees are slightly higher than Full-Time, and your admission is processed directly by the school, not through JAMB CAPS initially.

• The Degree: You graduate with the same National Diploma (ND) certificate.

Does OSPOLY Iree Write Post UTME Exams?

Usually No (Screening Only). Osun State Polytechnic Iree typically adopts an Online Screening Method, though they sometimes conduct “Oral Interviews” for specific sets.

1. Registration: You visit the portal (ospoly.edu.ng or polyiree.com) when the form is out (usually August).

2. Payment: You pay the screening fee online (approx. ₦2,000).

3. The Process: You upload your O’Level results and JAMB score. The system calculates your aggregate.

4. Oral Screening: In some recent sessions, the school has introduced a physical “Oral Screening” where you come to the campus with your documents for sighting. This is not a written exam but a verification process.

The UNILORIN Degree Affiliation

Did you know you can get a University Degree at Iree? OSPOLY Iree runs an affiliated Degree programme with the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN).

• Cut-Off Mark: 180.

• Courses: Computer Science, Mass Communication, Microbiology, etc.

• Benefit: You study at Iree but graduate with a UNILORIN certificate.

OSPOLY Iree School Fees

Fees vary depending on your program (Full-Time vs. DPT).

Estimated Fee Schedule for Freshers (ND 1):

• Full-Time (Indigenes): ~₦60,000 – ₦70,000 per session.

• Full-Time (Non-Indigenes): ~₦70,000 – ₦80,000 per session.

Important Admission Tips

2. O’Level Deficiency:

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

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

   • Note: If you have a deficiency, the DPT programme is often more lenient or offers remedial pathways.
