OSCOTECH School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

OSCOTECH School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Esa-Oke”? Located in the serene town of Esa-Oke, Osun State College of Technology (OSCOTECH) is one of the most technologically advanced state polytechnics in Southwest Nigeria. It is a favorite for Engineering and Environmental Studies students. One major advantage of OSCOTECH is its flexibility. Unlike many schools that demand all fees at once, OSCOTECH management has historically maintained a “Batch Payment System, allowing students to pay in installments (First Batch and Second Batch).

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for ND and HND students, the exact acceptance fee, and the correct portal to use.

Estimated OSCOTECH School Fees for 2026/2027 Session

• Projected Amount: ₦25,000 – ₦35,000.

• Status: Strictly Non-Refundable.

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is OSCOTECH the same as Osun State University (UNIOSUN)? No! UNIOSUN is a university; OSCOTECH is a polytechnic. Their fees and portals are completely different. Be careful not to read UNIOSUN news for OSCOTECH updates.

2. Is there a difference between Indigene and Non-Indigene fees? Historically, OSCOTECH does not enforce a massive “Non-Indigene Differential” like some other state schools. The fees are usually uniform, though Indigenes may be eligible for state bursaries later in the session.

3. What happens if I pay late? Late registration typically attracts a penalty of ₦5,000 – ₦10,000. More importantly, if you miss the portal deadline, you cannot print your “Exam Pass,” which means you cannot enter the exam hall.
