OAU ADMISSION POLICY : WHAT MANY JAMBITES DON'T KNOW

Over the past two months,i have read a lot of
comments and complaints from many students
residing in different parts of Nigeria on the
admission policies of the Primus University in
Nigeria,Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife.
The students complained on various issues like
inadequate time for the post utme exam,high cut
off marks set by their department of choice and
some who were fortunate enough to make the cut
off marks could not find their names on both the
merit and supplementary admission
list,why,why,why,that is the question they are
asking.
Hence,there is need to educate the public on some
factors which are "sine qua non" for every
students who hoped to have a smooth admission
into Oba Awon university,after a careful
consideration of the comments and complaints,I
decide to discuss on the reasons why many
students have been unlucky.
First of all,my school,OAU is an institution that
never joke with three admission factors(jamb
subjects combination,post utme score and the cut
off marks for each of her numerous
departments),with the use of English which is
compulsory for all courses,these are the accepted
jamb combinations for some faculties.
1.Faculty of administration-Econs,Govt and Maths
(EGM).
2-faculty of social science-econs,geography and
maths or econs,govt and maths(EGM).
3-faculty of technology-Chemistry,Maths/Physics
(CMP).
4-faculty of engineering-Chemistry/Maths/Physics
(CMP).
5-Faculty of Arts-C.R.K/Literature in Eng/History
or Govt(CLH or CLG).
6-Faculty of Health Science-Biology,Chemistry and
Physics(BCP).
Other faculties not included should be sought for
but take note,OAU does not accept commerce in
any of her courses,in fact,even after admission,it
can make registration very cumbersome because
commerce is not required as one of the five O'level
subjects requirements.
Secondly,irrespective of his/her jamb score,a
candidate will be considered for admission only if
such candidate score 200 and above in the post
utme exam.
Thirdly,the departmental cut off is the most
important factor that has no subtitute,once a
candidate can attain or beat the cut off mark for
their department,then such candidate is already
home and dry for admission is 100%.
From the foregoing,it is an incontrovertible fact
that the bulk of students that complain of high
handedness on OAU admission policy haven't done
their home work well before applying,hence the
complaints.
Lastly,here is my piece of advice to all students
that has been frustrated by OAU post utme and
those who wish to apply that"it takes the best to
be the best",some schools are better but OAU is
the best,don't let other peoples experience wear
you down,OAU is open and accommodating to
everyone here and there,follow the above
mentioned factors,put in your best and OAU will
say yes to you.
