Why OAU Cutoff Marks are Important

OAU cutoff marks serve to set a benchmark for academic excellence and ensure that admitted students can cope with the rigors of the program. Here are some key reasons why the cutoff marks matter:

  • They determine if a candidate is eligible and qualified for their desired program. Candidates who score below the cutoff mark cannot gain admission.
  • Cutoff marks help manage competition for limited admission slots. Courses in high demand like Medicine have very high marks.
  • They ensure academic standards are maintained and quality of students admitted each year is not compromised.
  • Analyzing the cutoff marks trends over the years provides useful insight into competitiveness of different programs.

Factors that Determine OAU Cutoff Marks

OAU’s annual cutoff marks are influenced by different factors including:

  • Number of application received for a particular course compared to available slots.
  • Academic performance of applicants based on UTME/Post-UTME scores.
  • OAU’s admission quota as determined by the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC).
  • Performance of candidates in relevant O’level subjects.
  • Increased competition for courses in certain faculties.

The higher the number of applicants that apply for a course compared to available slots, the higher the cutoff marks. The marks are adjusted upwards or downwards annually based on these key factors.

By considering these key elements, OAU is able to arrive at cut off marks tailored to each programme’s admission competitiveness for the specific academic year.
