OGITECH School Fees 2026/2027: The Complete Fee Schedule

OGITECH School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Igbesa”? Located in the industrial hub of Ado-Odo/Ota, Ogun State Institute of Technology (OGITECH) is one of the most popular state polytechnics in Nigeria. It is famous for its “Silicon Valley” ambition and strong focus on technology and engineering courses. However, understanding the fee structure can be tricky. OGITECH uses a system where the “Tuition” is just one part of the bill. You also have to pay for “Obligatory Fees,” which often confuses freshers. Additionally, as an Ogun State-owned institution, fees differ slightly depending on whether you are an Indigene or a Non-Indigene.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND students, the “hidden” obligatory charges, and the reality of the 60/40 payment plan.

Estimated OGITECH School Fees for 2026/2027 Session

1. Acceptance Fee (Freshers Only)

Before you pay your main tuition, you must secure your admission. OGITECH is strict with this deadline. Once your name appears on the admission list (ND or HND), you are required to pay a non-refundable Acceptance Fee.

• Projected Amount: ₦30,000 – ₦40,000.

• Status: Strictly Non-Refundable.

• Deadline: Usually 2 weeks after the admission list is released.

• Warning: If you do not pay this fee within the stipulated time, the portal often automatically revokes your admission to offer the slot to another candidate.

2. Tuition & Registration Fees Breakdown (2026/2027 Projection)

Fees at OGITECH are generally segmented by Indigene Status and Program Level.

A. National Diploma (ND) Fees

• ND 1 (Ogun State Indigenes):

  • Tuition: ~₦55,000.

  • Obligatory Fees: ~₦40,000 (Development Levy, ICT, Utilities, etc.).

  • Projected Total: ₦95,000 – ₦110,000.

  • Requirement: You must present a valid LGA Identification Letter from an Ogun State LGA (e.g., Ado-Odo/Ota, Abeokuta South) to qualify.

• ND 1 (Non-Indigenes):

  • Projected Total: ₦110,000 – ₦130,000.

  • Breakdown: Non-indigenes pay a higher tuition differential.

• ND 2 (Returning Students):

  • Projected: ₦80,000 – ₦95,000.

  • Why the drop? Returning students do not pay for freshers’ items like the Matriculation Gown, Verification, or Orientation levies.

B. Higher National Diploma (HND) Fees

HND students typically pay slightly higher fees due to advanced practical requirements.

• HND 1 (Indigenes):

  • Projected Total: ₦105,000 – ₦120,000.

• HND 1 (Non-Indigenes):

  • Projected Total: ₦120,000 – ₦140,000.

• HND 2 (Returning Students):

  • Projected: ₦90,000 – ₦105,000.

3. Can I Pay in Installments? (The 60/40 Rule)

Yes. OGITECH management understands the economic reality. They typically allow a 60/40 installment plan.

• First Semester: You pay 60% of the total fee to register and attend lectures.

• Second Semester: You pay the remaining 40% before the second-semester exams.

• Tip: This option must be selected on your portal when generating your invoice. Do not assume it applies automatically if you just pay half the money to the bank; you must generate a “Part Payment Invoice.”

4. The “Hidden” Charges (Budget for These)

The fee listed on your portal invoice is the main bulk, but to settle down fully in Igbesa, you must budget for these ancillary costs:

Fee Type	Estimated Amount	Purpose
Departmental Dues	₦3,000 – ₦5,000	Paid to your department (e.g., Computer Sci, Mass Comm).
SUG Dues	₦2,500	Student Union Government levy.
Medical Registration	₦5,000	Mandatory health screening file opening.
Result Verification	₦5,000	Verification of O-Level results (WAEC/NECO) on the portal.
Entrepreneurship	₦3,000	Practical manual for mandatory skills training.
Files & ID Card	₦5,000	Administrative processing items.

5. Accommodation (Hostel vs. Off-Campus)

OGITECH has functional hostels (like the Iyalode Tinubu Female Hostel), but spaces are limited.

• School Hostel:

  • Projected Fee: ₦60,000 – ₦70,000 per session.

  • Invoice Item: Usually labeled “Hostel Fee” + “Processing Fee” (approx ₦500).

  • Status: Highly competitive. Usually reserved for female students on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Off-Campus (Igbesa Town):

  • Most students live in private lodges in Igbesa town.

  • Single Room: ₦50,000 – ₦80,000 per year.

  • Self-Contained: ₦120,000 – ₦180,000 per year.

  • Tip: Igbesa is an industrial area with many factories. Housing is available, but ensure you pick a lodge with good security and proximity to the “School Gate” to save on bike transport.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is “Obligatory Fee” separate from School Fees? On your invoice, they are often bundled together as the total “School Fee,” but historically, students have seen them broken down. The “Obligatory Fee” covers things like development levies and utilities. You cannot pay one without the other; they are a package.

2. What happens if I miss the Acceptance Fee deadline? If the deadline passes, the link to pay acceptance fee often disappears from your dashboard. This means your admission has been forfeited. You may need to visit the admission office physically to see if they can “re-open” it, but this is not guaranteed.

3. Is OGITECH a private school? No. It is a State Government owned polytechnic (Ogun State). However, because it is an “Institute of Technology” with a specialized mandate, its fee structure is slightly higher than some general polytechnics but still much lower than private schools.
