OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY [OAU] RELEASES 2026/2027 ADMISSION CUT-OFF MARKS – FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY

The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has released the Faculty of Technology cut-off marks for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

The published cut-off marks cover eight programmes in the Faculty of Technology, with separate figures provided for candidates under the Merit, Catchment Area and Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS) categories.

The figures are important for prospective OAU students who selected any of the listed Technology and Engineering-related programmes as they assess their admission prospects for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Other OAU Faculty of Technology Courses

The remaining programmes have Merit cut-off marks slightly above 50.

Agricultural and Environmental Engineering has a Merit cut-off mark of 51.45, while Chemical Engineering has 51.43.

For Food Science and Technology, the Merit cut-off mark is 50.50, while Materials Science and Engineering has a Merit cut-off mark of 51.38.

For these four programmes, the published cut-off mark for all listed Catchment Areas and ELDS is 50.00.

Summary of OAU Technology Cut-Off Marks

The Merit cut-off marks for the listed programmes are:

• Aerospace Engineering – 72.03
• Mechanical Engineering – 69.73
• Electrical & Electronic Engineering – 68.38
• Civil Engineering – 65.23
• Agricultural & Environmental Engineering – 51.45

• Materials Science & Engineering – 51.38
• Food Science & Technology – 50.50

Based on the published figures, Aerospace Engineering has the highest Merit cut-off mark, while Food Science and Technology has the lowest among the eight listed programmes.

Does Meeting the OAU Cut-Off Mark Guarantee Admission?

Candidates should note that meeting the published cut-off mark does not automatically guarantee admission into OAU.

The cut-off mark is an important benchmark, but candidates must also satisfy other admission requirements and complete all necessary procedures prescribed by the university.

Aspirants should ensure that their JAMB and O’Level information is correctly submitted and should continue to monitor official OAU announcements for screening and admission updates.

Candidates should also avoid relying on unverified cut-off marks circulating online, particularly where such figures differ from the university’s published document.

Final Takeaway

The Obafemi Awolowo University Faculty of Technology has released its 2026/2027 admission cut-off marks for eight programmes.

Aerospace Engineering recorded the highest Merit cut-off mark at 72.03, followed by Mechanical Engineering at 69.73, Electrical & Electronic Engineering at 68.38, and Civil Engineering at 65.23.

Prospective OAU Technology and Engineering students should carefully check the cut-off mark applicable to their chosen programme and admission category while preparing for the 2026/2027 admission exercise.
