This article is designed to help students who wish to study Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, Environment, and Technology at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
Confirm that Civil Engineering is still listed at OAU before you register for JAMB. Three sciences carry the application, and the cut off mark here is higher than at most institutions.
Obafemi Awolowo University offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in specialization spanning the humanities, the arts, the natural sciences, the social sciences, the medical sciences, engineering, and technology.
The university has 13 faculties and two colleges, the Postgraduate College and the College of Health Sciences, administered in more than 60 departments. It was previously associated with Loma Linda University in California, USA.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Civil Engineering; You require;
Five SSCE credit passes to include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language, and one Science subject.
Four credits are named and the fifth must be another science subject. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English Language fill the first four places with no substitution allowed.
In practice that fifth credit comes from Biology, Agricultural Science, Further Mathematics or Technical Drawing, depending on what your school offered.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course. Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Civil Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Technology at OAU include;
Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
The UTME combination repeats three of those credits exactly, with English Language as the compulsory fourth paper. Nothing on the form can be substituted.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Civil Engineering if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- ‘A’ level passes in Physics and Mathematics.
- ND/HND (Upper credit) at appropriate levels.
Direct Entry drops Chemistry from the subject list, naming only Physics and Mathematics. The diploma route replaces subjects with a grade condition, accepting an ND or HND at upper credit.

JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into OAU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 200 or above in your JAMB result.
The 200 Cut Off Behind OAU Civil Engineering
Physics and Mathematics appear at every stage, in the credits, on the UTME form and among the A Level passes. Chemistry joins them for the first two but not for Direct Entry.
The score is what separates this department from many others, since OAU asks for 200 or above rather than the common 180. Plan your preparation around that figure for the 2026/2027 session.
