Whether you are searching with the old name or the new one, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, school fees, and the specific admission requirements for the “Southern Star” of Ondo State.

Is it OSUSTECH or OAUSTECH?

Before we dive into the numbers, let’s clear the air. The university was officially renamed Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH) in honor of the former governor.

• Why does this matter? While you might still search for “OSUSTECH Cut-off Mark,” your admission letter, school portal, and JAMB CAPS will all read OAUSTECH. Don’t be confused when you see the new name; it is the same institution located in Okitipupa.

OSUSTECH (OAUSTECH) Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for this university for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a rapidly growing institution with a strong focus on technology and marine sciences. OAUSTECH is unique because it is located in the oil-rich coastal region of Ondo State. Below are the admission stats you need to target.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the OAUSTECH JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 150.

Important Reality Check:

• The 150 Benchmark: This score qualifies you to purchase the Post-UTME form. If you score 150, you are eligible to register for screening for courses in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture, and Engineering.

• The “Health Science” Exception: For the newly introduced and highly competitive courses like Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, and Public Health, a score of 150 is NOT enough. The official eligibility cut-off for these specific courses is usually set at 180.

• First Choice Policy: OAUSTECH is strict. You MUST choose them as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you will not be able to register for the screening until you do a Change of Institution.

• Acceptance Fee: ~₦40,000 – ₦50,000 (Non-refundable).

• Note: Students in Nursing and Engineering may pay slightly higher fees due to practicals and clinical levies.

Does OAUSTECH Write Post UTME Exams?

It Depends on Your Course.

1. For Health Sciences (Nursing, MLS, Public Health): YES. In the last admission cycle, candidates for these courses were required to sit for a Physical Post-UTME Test at the university campus in Okitipupa. The competition is high, so they use this test to select the best.

2. For Other Courses (Science, Agric, Engineering): NO. Admission is typically done via Online Screening, where they grade you based on your JAMB score and O-Level results.

Important Admission Tips

1. O’Level Upload: You MUST upload your WAEC/NECO results to JAMB CAPS. OAUSTECH will not admit any candidate with “Awaiting Result” status on CAPS.

2. Catchment Area: Being a state university, OAUSTECH gives a slight preference to indigenes of Ondo State, but they admit heavily from all over Nigeria, provided you meet the merit cut-off.

3. Direct Entry: OAUSTECH accepts JUPEB and ND. If you have a Lower Credit in ND, you can apply for most Science/Agric courses, but Upper Credit is recommended for Engineering and Nursing.

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions concerning the OAUSTECH portal (portal.oaustech.edu.ng), acceptance fee payment, or the specific exam date for Nursing candidates, as our support team is always on standby to attend to you.
