OOU Cut-Off Marks for All Courses (2026/2027): General, Departmental & Admissible Scores Everything You Need to Know Before Applying to Olabisi Onabanjo University

Published by OGB Admission Hub If you are seeking admission into Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye , one of the most common questions is: "What is the cut-off mark for my course?" Many candidates confuse the general cut-off mark , departmental cut-off mark , and admissible cut-off mark . This guide explains the difference and provides realistic admission targets for all major programmes. Understanding OOU Cut-Off Marks 1. General (Minimum) Cut-Off Mark β 160 The management of Olabisi Onabanjo University has fixed 160 as the minimum UTME score required to qualify for the 2026/2027 Post-UTME screening exercise. Candidates who score 160 and above may apply, provided they meet other admission requirements. Important: Scoring 160 does not guarantee admission into every course. It only makes you eligible to participate in the screening. 2. Departmental Cut-Off Mark OOU does not officially publish a final departmental cut-off mark for every programme before admission is concluded . Admission into each department depends on: Number of applicants. Departmental quota. Candidates' aggregate scores. Competition for the course. 3. Admissible Cut-Off Mark The admissible cut-off mark is the recommended score that gives a candidate a realistic chance of admission based on previous admission trends and course competitiveness. It is not an official OOU publication but serves as a practical guide.
