Note: These are selected programmes from the published document. Candidates should consult the complete official list for all 29 programmes and the corresponding catchment-area cut-off marks.

OAU Catchment-Area Cut-Off Marks

The published admission document also provides separate cut-off marks for candidates from designated catchment states, including Osun, Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti and Lagos.

For example, the listed cut-off mark for Education English is 50.70 for Osun State, 53.73 for Oyo, 53.78 for Ondo, 51.05 for Ogun, 52.33 for Ekiti and 53.73 for Lagos State.

These figures highlight why applicants should check the requirements for their specific programme and state of origin rather than relying solely on the general merit cut-off mark.

What Candidates Should Know

Meeting the published cut-off mark is an important consideration during the admission process, but it should not automatically be interpreted as a guarantee of admission. Candidates should also ensure that they satisfy the university’s applicable O’Level subject requirements, UTME subject combinations and other admission conditions.

Applicants are encouraged to verify their screening results, confirm their eligibility for their selected courses and monitor official university announcements for further information regarding the 2026/2027 admission exercise.

Candidates who are considering changing their preferred course should first confirm the requirements for the alternative programme and ensure that they meet the relevant admission criteria.

The release of the OAU Faculty of Education cut-off marks provides prospective students with a useful guide for assessing their admission prospects for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Candidates are advised to study the published figures carefully and rely on official university communications for confirmation of admission requirements and subsequent admission updates.
