Frequently Asked Questions

• How is the OAU Nursing cut-off mark determined?
  The cut-off mark is set jointly by JAMB and OAU based on factors such as the overall performance of candidates in the UTME, the number of available slots, and the university’s admission policy. It is not fixed and may change from year to year.
• Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for OAU Nursing?
  The official cut-off mark is published on JAMB’s central admission portal (CAPS) and on OAU’s own admission website. Always verify from these sources as third-party sites may not have the most accurate figure.
• What happens if my UTME score is below the OAU Nursing cut-off mark?
  Candidates who score below the cut-off may consider applying for other less competitive courses at OAU or seeking admission into Nursing programmes at other universities. They can also opt for Direct Entry if they meet the alternative requirements.

Remember that the exact cut-off mark for OAU Nursing/Nursing Science varies each admission year and cannot be reliably predicted from past figures. For the most accurate information, always check the official JAMB CAPS portal and the Obafemi Awolowo University admission page. Aim for the highest possible UTME score to strengthen your chances, regardless of the cut-off.
