OUI has released its official cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 admission session, fixed at 150. Candidates who put the school down on JAMB need to clear that figure before anything else on their admission checklist.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat OUI’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. Candidates should confirm their own UTME result against this figure before taking any further step.
What’s Actually Confirmed
JAMB’s 2026 policy meeting set the national floor for universities, private and public alike, at 150 for 2026/2027. That’s the number OUI can’t admit below. That detail stays the same for every candidate who applies through JAMB this cycle.
Beyond that floor, sources disagree on OUI’s own internal benchmark, we’ve seen figures anywhere from 140 to 180 cited for recent cycles, and this page previously listed a flat 160 across every department. Candidates should keep a copy of every document mentioned here, since admission offices often ask for it again.
We couldn’t confirm a current figure directly on oduduwauniversity.edu.ng, so rather than pick one of those numbers and present it as fact, we’re flagging it as unconfirmed.
One thing worth knowing: OUI typically doesn’t run a written Post-UTME exam. Screening is usually based on your UTME score, O’Level results, and course suitability, submitted through the university’s application portal, rather than a separate screening test. Candidates aspiring to any course should expect admission to weigh their UTME score alongside their O’Level credits.
If you scored 150 or above and OUI is your choice, it’s worth starting your application and confirming the specific departmental requirement with admissions directly. OUI accepts and screens both first and second-choice candidates.

OUI‘s cut-off mark decides who can be considered, nothing more. The rest of the admission outcome depends on how well a candidate handles the steps that follow.
Treat it as a checkpoint, not a guarantee. OUI candidates should keep that in mind while the rest of the admission process plays out.
