The cut off mark varies from course to course, depending on the number of applicants and available slots for the course. Courses like Medicine, Law, Accounting, etc usually have higher cut off marks due to high competition and limited slots.
In this blog post, we will provide you with all the information you need to know about OOU cut off marks for the 2024/2025 academic session. We will cover cut off marks for all courses, including medicine, law, engineering, sciences, arts and more.
By the end of this blog post, you will have a clear understanding of the cut off marks you need to attain to stand a chance for admission into OOU for the 2024/2025 academic calendar.
What are the factors that determine OOU cut off marks?
Some factors that determine OOU cut off marks include:
- Number of applicants for the course
- Number of available slots for the course
- Difficulty level of the course
- OOU’s admission policies and requirements
- Performance of candidates in UTME/JAMB exams
The OOU cut off marks serve as a screening tool for the admission process. Only candidates who score up to the cut off mark or above will qualify to participate in the post-UTME screening exercise.
Therefore, it is extremely important for all aspirants to work hard to attain the OOU cut off marks for their chosen courses.
OOU cut off marks for all courses
According to the management of OOU, the general cut off mark for all courses for the 2024/2025 academic session is 160. This means that any candidate who scores 160 or above in their UTME/JAMB exam is eligible to apply for admission into any course at OOU.
However, this does not guarantee admission into your desired course. You still need to meet other requirements such as your O’level results, post-UTME score, departmental cut-off mark, etc.
OOU Departmental Cut Off Mark
The departmental cut-off mark is the specific score that you need to attain in your post-UTME exam to qualify for admission into a particular department or faculty. The departmental cut-off mark is usually higher than the general cut-off mark and it varies from course to course.
The departmental cut-off marks for all courses at OOU are not yet officially released by the university. However, based on previous years’ records and trends, we can estimate the possible departmental cut-off marks for some popular courses at OOU as follows:
- Medicine: 250 and above
- Law: 240 and above
- Accounting: 220 and above
- Engineering: 200 and above
- Pharmacy: 200 and above
- Nursing: 190 and above
- Mass Communication: 180 and above
- Education: 170 and above
- Agriculture: 160 and above
Please note that these are only estimates and they are subject to change by the university. We will update this blog post as soon as the official departmental cut-off marks are released by OOU.
How to calculate aggregate score for OOU admission
To calculate your aggregate score for OOU admission, you need to use the following formula:
Aggregate Score = (UTME Score / 8) + (Post-UTME Score / 2)
For example, if you scored 200 in UTME and 60 in Post-UTME, your aggregate score will be:
Aggregate Score = (200 / 8) + (60 / 2)
Aggregate Score = 25 + 30
Aggregate Score = 55
You can compare your aggregate score with the estimated departmental cut-off mark for your desired course to see if you have a chance of getting admitted.
What should I do if I did not meet the OOU cut-off mark?
If you did not meet the OOU cut-off mark for your chosen course, do not lose hope. You still have some options to consider such as:
- Changing your course: You can apply for a change of course on JAMB portal if you meet the cut-off mark for another course that you are interested in. However, you need to do this before the deadline and ensure that you meet other requirements for the new course.
- Changing your institution: You can also apply for a change of institution on JAMB portal if you meet the cut-off mark for another institution that offers your desired course. However, you need to do this before the deadline and ensure that you meet other requirements for the new institution.
- Applying for supplementary admission: Some institutions offer supplementary admission for candidates who did not meet the cut-off mark for their first choice course but meet the cut-off mark for another course in the same institution. You can check the OOU website or portal for any information on supplementary admission for the 2024/2025 academic session.
- Write another JAMB exam: If none of the above options work for you, you can always prepare for another UTME exam and try again next year. You can use this time to improve your academic performance and skills and aim for a higher score in your next UTME exam.
