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 Geography-or-Physics Choice for OAU Education
This course accepts either Geography or Physics as your anchor subject, so candidates strong in either science can still qualify, provided the rest of their combination lines up.
Confirm these requirements against OAU’s current admission brochure before registering, since the 200 JAMB benchmark can shift between sessions.
