OAU Cut-Off Mark For All Departments & How To Calculate Your Aggregate

Understanding OAU Aggregate Cut-off Marks, UTME Cut-off, and Calculating Your Score
Introduction:
In your quest to secure admission into Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), understanding the concept of aggregate cut-off marks is crucial. In this post, we will delve into what cut-off marks mean, the UTME cut-off for OAU, how to calculate your aggregate score after the Post UTME, and provide a link to our detailed guide on OAU Post UTME registrations.
What is a Cut-off Mark? A cut-off mark is the minimum score a candidate must obtain in an examination to be considered for admission into a university or any other educational institution. In the case of OAU, it’s the minimum score required for each department to accept applicants into their programs.
UTME Cut-off Mark for OAU: Before we proceed, it’s important to note that the UTME cut-off mark for OAU is 200. This means that to be eligible to participate in the Post UTME screening, you must have scored a minimum of 200 in the UTME (JAMB) examination.
How to Calculate Your Aggregate Score after Post UTME:
In calculating your OAU aggregate, it is important to note that both UTME, OAU post UTME and O’level result must be considered together. O’level take just 10%, JAMB UTME takes 50% and Post UTME takes 40%. In total, everything is 100%. Now lets see how you can calculate your aggregate.
Step 1: Simply divide your Jamb score by 8
Step 2: Next, add it to your post UTME score.
Step 3: Now calculate your O’level result using thegrading system below:
A1-2.0 points
B2-1.8 points
B3-1.6 points
C4-1.4 points
C5-1.2 points
C6-1.0 points
Note: This should be used to calculate the 5 subjects that are related to your desired course of study.
Step 4: Add the results in step 1, 2 and 3 above and thatis your aggregate score.
Example:below is the calculation for a student who scored 280 in JAMB, 26 in OAU post UTME and had A,B2, B2, B3 and B3 in his O’level result.
Jamb score 280/8 = 35
Post UTME = 26
O’level = 2+1.8+1.8+1.6+1.6 = 8.8
His aggregate score is = 35+26+8.8 = 69.8
Check the OAU Departmental Cut-off Mark: Every department at OAU has its specific cut-off mark, which is usually released by the university.
