Factors to Consider before applying for OAU

Obafemi Awolowo University is an institution that never joke with three admission factors (jamb subjects combination, post utme score and the cut off marks for each of her numerous departments), with the Use of English which is compulsory for all courses, these are the accepted jamb combinations for some faculties:

*    Faculty of Administration: Econs,Govt and Maths(EGM).
*    Faculty of Social Science: Econs, Geography and Maths or Econs, Govt and Maths (EGM).
*    Faculty of Technology: Chemistry, Maths, Physics (CMP).
*    Faculty of Engineering: Chemistry, Maths, Physics (CMP).
*    Faculty of Arts: C.R.K, Literature in Eng, History or Govt (CLH or CLG).
*    Faculty of Health Science: Biology,Chemistry and Physics (BCP).

Other faculties not included should be sought for but take note, OAU does not accept commerce in any of her courses, in fact, even after admission, it can make registration very cumbersome because commerce is not required as one of the five O'level subjects requirements. 

Secondly, irrespective of his/her jamb score, a candidate will be considered for admission only if such candidate score 200 and above in the post utme exam. 

Thirdly, the departmental cut off is the most important factor that has no substitute  once a candidate can attain or beat the cut off mark for their department, then such candidate is already home for admission which is 100%.
