Obafemi Awolowo University Prepares for 2026 Admissions Post-Policy Meeting
"OAU announces readiness to commence the 2026/2027 admission process following the official JAMB policy announcement."
Following the recent policy meeting held in Abuja where the 150 minimum cut-off mark was established, the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) has announced its intention to begin the 2026/2027 admission cycle. With over 60,370 candidates listing OAU as their preferred institution, the university is preparing to screen thousands of applicants for its various degree programs. The university's management is currently aligning its internal criteria with the new national guidelines to ensure a smooth, transparent admission process.
Candidates applying to OAU should note that the university traditionally places a high premium on performance in the internal screening exercise. As such, the 150 minimum set by JAMB should be seen as a mere eligibility floor rather than a guarantee of admission. Prospective students are advised to ensure that their O'level results are correctly uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal, as any discrepancy in documentation will lead to automatic disqualification. The university has also warned candidates against falling prey to admission racketeers who may claim to have the power to influence the selection process for a fee. All communication regarding admissions will be channeled through the official university portal and authenticated email accounts only. OAU remains committed to merit-based selection and encourages all aspirants to focus on their preparations.
