How OOU Uses Cut Off Marks
OOU applies cut-off marks to determine admission eligibility in two key stages:
- General Cut-Off (UTME) – The baseline score needed to access the Post-UTME screening.
- Departmental/Programme Cut-Off – Higher thresholds for competitive programmes that reflect demand and capacity.
Meeting the general cut-off alone does not guarantee admission; satisfying departmental, O’Level, and Post-UTME criteria raises your admission probability significantly.

OOU Post-UTME Screening Requirement
Once you meet the minimum UTME cut-off of 160, you must register for the OOU Post-UTME/Screening exercise. This assessment is designed to evaluate your readiness for university academic standards.
- The Post-UTME score contributes to your overall aggregate used for ranking candidates for admission.
- OOU often considers a composite aggregate (e.g., JAMB + Post-UTME ratios) when offering admission.
Completing the Post-UTME is mandatory before admission can be offered.

FAQs On OOU Cut off Mark
OOU’s general cut-off mark is 160 in JAMB/UTME. Departmental cut-offs vary by course competitiveness.
No. While 160 is the minimum UTME cut-off, competitive courses like Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Law require much higher scores above the baseline.
No. Scoring 160 makes you eligible to participate in the Post-UTME, but admission depends on your aggregate performance, departmental threshold, O’Level results, and availability of slots.
Many Nigerian universities, including OOU, combine JAMB score and Post-UTME score to derive an aggregate used for ranking applicants. While the precise formula varies by session, strong performance in both areas improves your chances.
