The condition that matters most sits at the end of the O’Level list: credit passes in all three basic sciences and in English Language are compulsory. Everything above that line builds around those four.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any courses offered in OKOPOLY to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.

The institution is strategically located and surrounded by several centres of industries, commerce, and diverse local crafts such as Awka (well known for blacksmith/iron works), Nnewi (Industry and technological products), and Onitsha and Aba (reputed for Commerce and Industries).
The climatic condition of the host community, Ok, ranges between 28 and 42 degrees centigrade. It is one of Nigeria’s fastest-developing tertiary institutions with a highly futuristic disposition.
