When Will OAU Post UTME Form Close?

The OAU Post UTME registration closes on Friday, August 14, 2026. OAU rarely extends its deadlines. Register as soon as the portal opens and do not wait until the final days.

This closing date gives eligible candidates nearly two months from registration opening to complete their application. Despite this, every year a significant number of candidates miss the deadline or submit incomplete applications because they assumed there would be an extension. There will not be one. Submit early, print your screening slip, and monitor your email for your exam date notification.

Which Date Is OAU Post UTME?

The OAU CBT screening examination date for the 2026/2027 session has not been announced as a single calendar date. Based on OAU's consistent pattern across previous sessions, the exam typically holds one to two weeks after the registration deadline closes.

With registration closing August 14, 2026, the CBT exam is expected to hold around late August to early September 2026 — likely within the August 20 to September 7 window based on historical timing.

Candidates can check their screening schedule on the OAU portal once it is assigned. The screening will be conducted online. Your individual exam date and time will be sent to your registered email and phone number after registration closes. There is no single date for everyone — each candidate gets an assigned slot.

Does OAU Do Post UTME or Screening?

OAU conducts a compulsory online CBT Post UTME examination. Obafemi Awolowo University requires all first-choice JAMB candidates to sit its Post UTME screening examination. It is a compulsory and non-negotiable step in the admission process. Candidates who skip it or fail to register on time are automatically out of the running regardless of their JAMB score.

The screening will be online. Direct Entry students will not write the CBT exam but will be screened online. They are exempted from the aptitude test.

The aptitude test will include, but is not limited to, UTME subjects. This means candidates should also read some things like current affairs and quantitative reasoning in addition to their JAMB subject combination.

This is important — OAU adds elements beyond your JAMB syllabus. Candidates who only revise their four JAMB subjects and ignore current affairs and quantitative reasoning often find the OAU exam harder than expected.

OAU Post UTME Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

The general cut off mark for OAU is 200. Scoring above 200 gives you a better chance, but candidates aiming for top-tier programmes should strive for scores well above the minimum.

Competitive courses like Medicine, Law, and Nursing often require much higher scores — between 250 and 280 — to be safe.

Practical thresholds for the most competitive OAU courses: - Medicine and Surgery: 270 to 300 in JAMB plus a strong Post UTME - Dentistry and Pharmacy: approximately 250 to 270 - Law: approximately 250 and above - Nursing Science: 230 to 250 - Engineering: approximately 200 to 220 - Sciences (Computer Science, Biochemistry, etc.): 200 to 220 - Social Sciences and Education: 200 is more competitive than most candidates think at OAU

OAU admission for Medicine, Law, and Pharmacy is among the most competitive in Nigeria. Meeting the 200 minimum for these courses is not a realistic path to admission — aim significantly higher.

OAU Post UTME Aggregate Score Formula

The OAU Post UTME is scored out of 100 with each of the four subjects contributing equally to the total. Your Post UTME score is then combined with your JAMB score using the university's aggregate formula to produce your final admission score.

OAU uses the standard 50:50 aggregate formula: - JAMB score divided by 8 (giving a maximum of 50) - Post UTME score divided by 2 (giving a maximum of 50) - Total aggregate out of 100

Example: JAMB score of 240 and Post UTME score of 70 out of 100: - JAMB: 240 divided by 8 = 30 - Post UTME: 70 divided by 2 = 35 - Aggregate = 65

A candidate with 240 JAMB and 70 Post UTME beats one with 260 JAMB and 60 Post UTME (aggregate of 62.5). Every Post UTME point matters at OAU because the formula equally weights both scores.

OAU Post UTME Past Questions — 400+ Repeated Pattern Questions

OAU repeats question patterns across sessions. Candidates who have studied past questions consistently recognise structures and specific questions during the actual exam. The 400+ OAU Repeated Pattern Question pack covers past questions from multiple sessions across all subject combinations with full answers and explanations.

Download the 400+ OAU Repeated Pattern Past Questions and start practising before your exam date.

The pack covers: - English Language comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary - Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics - Arts subjects: Literature, Government, History, Economics - Current Affairs: a section OAU regularly includes beyond JAMB subjects - Quantitative Reasoning: a notable OAU addition not found in JAMB itself

Candidates who practise under timed conditions using CBT simulation tools consistently perform better in the actual exam than those who only revise without timing themselves. Use the past questions under timed conditions — do not just read them passively.

The online CBT format means speed and accuracy both matter. A candidate who knows the answer but takes 90 seconds per question will run out of time. A candidate who practises 100 questions in 60 minutes repeatedly before exam day will find the real exam far more manageable.
