Important Information
on OAU’s 2023/2024 UTME/DE Admissions
Like I always say, one
of the core things that make a lot of OAU aspirants not get admitted is the
lack of on-time and/or accurate information—even when they have everything qualifying
them for the admission. What this means is that you can score high in the UTME,
score high in the Post-UTME, have the best of O/Level results and still end up
not getting admitted just because you missed a little detail somewhere. There
was the time in OAU when not shading the four corners of your Post-UTME shading
paper would get your answer sheet rejected automatically, thereby marking you as
absent in the Post-UTME and automatically disqualifying you from being
considered for an admission in OAU—even when you have high scores in the
O/Levels and your UTME. There was also the time when writing Commerce in the UTME
would get you shocked at the Post-UTME hall when you realize your Post-UTME question
sheet doesn’t have Commerce and you must write the subjects you wrote in UTME;
so automatically, just because you weren’t aware OAU doesn’t recognize Commerce
for admission you would end up losing an admission you are qualified for. These
instances I just mentioned have changed now, but there are always new instances
that make people lose admission in OAU.
For the 2023/2024
admission session, I want to discuss one situation that would make so many OAU aspirants
not get admitted this year even when their scores are good enough to qualify
for a university admission. The Post-UTME is fast-approaching, in fact the
registration for it is currently going on, but many people who have chosen OAU as
their first choice and have scored at least 200 in the UTME as the school
requires do not know that this year’s OAU admission race is not the race to enter with the average points;
this year’s admission race is strictly for people who have—as par what they
have applied for—scored crazily high in their O/Levels, UTME, and consequently
in their Post-UTME, or they have not scored really high but they know people.
The reason for this is that OAU is only admitting 40% of their admission quota
from the 2023/2024 applicants, they have admitted 60% of the quota from the
2022/2023 applicants. I hope you understand this is not me saying OAU is only
admitting 40% of the 2023/2024 applicants? Because this is me actually saying OAU
has their quota—as directed by NUC—which they should admit per one academic
session, and because OAU needs to merge the 2022/2023 and the 2023/2024
applicants together in one academic session. Like I said, they have admitted
60% of the quota from the 2022/2023 admission session, and the 60% from
2022/2023 admission session and the 40% from the 2023/2024 admission session are
to resume together in October 2023 for the 2023/2024 academic session. Are you
seeing why the 2023/2024 admission selection process is going to be a war? You must
score very high or have the longest legs to be part of the 40%.
Further explained, NUC
has an admission quota for every university, this is so that universities don’t
over admit students than they have resources for per academic session. I do not
know the current quota for OAU, but I know there was when the quota was 7,500
but OAU defiantly admitted 9,000 or thereabouts. I also know there was when the
quota was 11,000 but OAU defiantly admitted 16,000+ and NUC had to force them to
reduce it to 14,000 thereabouts. So we all know OAU would disobey NUC again for
this academic session. Let’s say NUC’s quota for OAU this academic session is
15,000 (just having the wildest assumption). Let’s also assume wildly that OAU wants
admit the total of 20,000 applicants from the 2022/2023 admission session and
the 2023/2024 admission session to resume for the 2023/2024 academic session,
this would mean that OAU has admitted 60% (12,000) of 20,000 from the 2022/2023
applicants, and they are only admitting the remaining 40% (8,000) of the 20,000
from the thousands of the 2023/2024 applicants who have what it takes to be in
the number; like I said, scoring high is not all that it would take, legs,
slots would be among what it would. Hundreds of qualified people are still
going to be screened out somehow. May whatever extra step you take to secure
your admission favour you.
