OOU Post UTME

The Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), located in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria, is a prestigious state-owned institution renowned for its commitment to academic excellence. For candidates aspiring to join OOU for the 2025/2026 academic session, the Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) screening is a critical step in the admission process. This computer-based test (CBT) evaluates candidates’ readiness for their chosen courses, complementing their JAMB UTME scores. This comprehensive guide provides detailed information on the OOU Post UTME 2025/2026, including eligibility criteria, application procedures, preparation tips, and key dates to ensure a smooth and successful application process.

With the JAMB UTME for 2025 scheduled from April 24 to April 28, 2025, and the OOU Post UTME registration expected to commence in July 2025, now is the time to prepare. Whether you’re a UTME candidate or applying through Direct Entry (DE), this article outlines everything you need to know to navigate the OOU Post UTME process, avoid common pitfalls, and maximize your chances of securing admission into one of Nigeria’s leading universities.

Understanding the OOU Post UTME

The OOU Post UTME is a mandatory screening exercise for candidates seeking admission into undergraduate programs at Olabisi Onabanjo University. Unlike the JAMB UTME, which tests general knowledge across four subjects, the OOU Post UTME focuses on subjects relevant to your chosen course, assessing your academic preparedness through a computer-based test (CBT). The screening is conducted at the university’s ICT Centre on the main campus in Ago-Iwoye, typically spanning several days to accommodate all applicants.

The Post UTME score, combined with your JAMB UTME score, determines your departmental cut-off mark, which varies by course and faculty. Competitive programs like Medicine, Law, and Engineering often require higher aggregate scores, while other courses may have lower thresholds. Understanding the process and preparing adequately are key to standing out in this competitive admission cycle.

Eligibility Criteria for OOU Post UTME 2025/2026
