OAU Departmental Cutoffs for 2019/2020 Session (Tags: OAU, Nairaland, Admission, Cut off, Merit List, First List, UTME, Post-UTME, Screening)


OAU Departmental Cutoffs for 2019/2020 Session
Could you believe I spent the whole of last week looking everywhere for the real OAU departmental cut offs? Yea, I couldn’t believe it either, that I’d have so many candidates depending on me for the right information on what’s happening about their admission processing, and I’ll have no idea what to give them as the truth. I have never been that blind about anything happening on OAU campus before—never ever. I guess a blogger could end up needing information too sometimes. Well, I pulled some strings and thank God I ended up having the true information that I need. I have the true OAU departmental cut off now, and I'm sharing it immediately.
I had to add this to this article tho, because I've been getting calls concerning this. For as many of you who applied for the highly competitive courses like Medicine, Nursing, Med. Rehab., Pharmacy, Economics and Accounting, and you are already relaxing because you scored higher than the departmental cut off in the Post-UTME screening; I'm enjoining you now to get up from your relaxation and start doing what you have to do now if you don't want to lose your admission even with the high score you have. Your high score does not guarantee your admission to these departments o, you will have to shine your eyes, open your ears, and do something not many people will know you did. Na the truth I just yarn you so. Make good use of it. The cutoffs come after this picture break.

OAU Admission, After the Cut Offs Then, What?

OAU Set to Release the First Batch (TAGS: OAU, ADMISSION , NAIRALAND, CUTOFF, BATCH, LIST, EPORTAL, DIRECT ENTRY, ADMISSION PROCESSING RUNS, SLOT)


OAU Set to Release the First Batch
It’s no news anymore that OAU has released to JAMB the first batch of the names of people who have been offered admission by the institution, remaining for JAMB to upload it on their portal. At least everyone on the list can now see a certain change on their CAPS on JAMB’s website (i.e. change from NOT ADMITTED YET to PROCESSING ADMISSION). But before I continue on expatiating the admission news, let me take advantage of this topic to explain once again that—contrary to what almost everyone thinks—it is not JAMB that offers admission but the school you have applied to, and CAPS is only a platform JAMB uses to monitor  the admission processes of every school to make sure no one is offered more than one admission when there are people who didn’t even get one. In simpler terms, your school—after screening you—determines the criteria they want to use to admit applicants, they make a list of the applicants they have considered for admission based on the criteria they have determined or through any other means that could make the applicant qualify for the consideration for admission (runs, slots, etc.), they release the lists to JAMB, and JAMB uploads them to their web (CAPS). This should be enough to make it clear how it is not JAMB that offers admission but the school. This could seem like unneeded information, but for those having issues with their schools and JAMB over their admission; they cannot see this information as useless.
To continue talking about OAU’s release of the first batch to JAMB, I must tell that I've been getting news from my candidates—especially the ones aspiring the departments in the Social Sciences—that their admission statuses on CAPS have changed from “NOT ADMITTED YET” to “PROCESSING ADMISSION”. This is a good news-in-the-making for everyone who now has “PROCESSING ADMISSION” on their CAPS admission status, because it means in a matter of days or hours, that status would change to “CONGRATULATION YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED ADMISSION”, and they would be asked to accept the admission offer or reject it. So if you have “PROCESSING ADMISSION” on your CAPS admission status, be glad already, it can only turn to the good news you need so much right now and nothing else.
Now this is another confusion-causing issue I'm obliged to discuss; if your name is not with the first batch of names that’ll be uploaded soon, please don’t panic—at least not yet—as this does not necessarily mean you won’t be offered admission too—if you have done what you should do, when you should and as you should. The first batch is called the “Merit List”; which unarguably means the list will contain only the names of UTME and pre-degree applicants who got the cutoff of the departments they have applied to, or at least have the catchment or ELDS marks. Every other person who has done a thing or two to earn the consideration for admission (especially via “person-know-person”), people using executives and staffs’ slots, the Direct Entry applicants, the OAU Diploma applicants, as well as the pre-degree applicants who couldn’t score the grade point required to be admitted to their aspired department but scored average or above average of the overall attainable grade point of the Pre-Degree programme should all expect their names on the subsequent lists (the Second or Third List). I can only wish you all the best of luck as you expect to see your good news on your CAPS soon. Just don’t—out of joy—mistakenly click on “reject” instead of “accept when you see the admission offer on your CAPS. You’ll only think it doesn’t happen, but it does.

OAU Admission Rush (Tags: Nairaland, OAU, google, Obafemi Awolowo University, Admission, OAU Aspirants, UTME, UME, postutme, Post-UTME, results, admission processing, runs, runz, admission help, tutorial)

OAU Admission Rush
Being around OAU since 2006—first as a candidate, then as an undergraduate, then as a postgraduate student, and also as a known educational consultant in Ife—has given me a huge load of experience over how admission goes in Obefemi Awolowo UnIversity (OAU) at whatever level—from the level of the pre-degree, to the undergraduate (UTME and DE), and to the postgraduate; so much for refusing to leave Ife as almost everyone does when they manage to finish their first degree programme in OAU. No one loves to come back to OAU after escaping the school the first time (the word 'love' in the statement was carefully chosen). But people like me, we just act like OAU is the only university in the country, and we can’t afford to not be there. And sometimes, it does really feel as though OAU is the only university in the country. I mean, does it not sound like the lion is the only animal in the forest sometimes?

Year in year out, jambites who choose OAU in their matriculation application—after doing “well”—in their UTME just come to OAU to write the Post-UTME thinking gaining admission to OAU will never be any difficult than cooking noodles; but at the end of it all, most of them always get disappointed. I’m—on this note—making this article to make some things clear on the things OAU applicants must know if they’ll be admitted. I enjoin you to read this article and digest it if you are processing your admission to OAU or you’re aspiring to be in OAU someday.
People always say you don’t have to “know” somebody before you can be admitted to OAU; LOL, funny. For the sake of not wanting to disrespect the bureaucracy of my university, I’ll like to agree with that notion that you do not need to know somebody to be admitted to OAU. But to be blunt? Believe this: that notion only works for a very tiny percentage of applicants per admission year; and when I say tiny percentage, I mean like 10-20%. This percentage involves the people who score—in the screening criteria—what their aspiring departments require as the cut-off. Take for instance, if Economics says their cut-off is 67% or 268/400, and a person’s scores such mark; such person should just go home and start buying the things they’ll need in school; because—other things needed put in the right places—such person will be admitted! They should just wait for the merit list to see their name boldly written on the school’s portal. These are the set of people who don’t have to know somebody before they can be admitted to OAU. But if a person scores 66% or 267/400 to go 1% or 1 mark below what Economics requires in the example cited above; quote me anywhere, such person needs to know somebody to be admitted to OAU! Unless the slightly reduced cut-off marks used for catchment areas and Educationally Less Developed States (EDLS) favor such person—which is also at a very small percentage too. It means most people who apply for admission to OAU need to know somebody before they can be admitted, because—let’s face it—how many candidates really make the cut-offs per year?

I have been around OAU for a while, I have seen cases when a person who scored 270 was not admitted for Law because the cut-off for Law was 274, and another person who scored 239 and comes from the same state as the first person was admitted for Law. Now, what just happened here? One of these people knows who they should know, and they made productive use of whom they know. There are always many cases like this every admission year in OAU; it all depends on who you know, what they can do for you, and how seriously they take your matter.
If you already understand what I'm trying to say here, then you should already know I'm trying to warn you to not romance the notion: “you don’t have to know somebody to be admitted in OAU”, unless you have scored what is required of you by your aspired department. Understand this: you really need to know somebody to be admitted in OAU if you are even 0.1 mark below the cut-off, or—by self-knowledge—you yourself doubt if the score you have at hand can ever be enough to get you admitted to the department you want. If such of these is your case right now, then it’s high time you started talking to someone who can reliably help you with your admission processing—someone who knows OAU and her system enough to be able to get your papers to where it should get to.

You gain your admission, you pay us a token for doing for you what we know how to do. That’s fair for the two sides right? Now, make the call: 08139534187; let's talk about your admission.
I had to add this to this article because I've been getting calls concerning this. For as many of you who applied for the highly competitive courses like Medicine, Law, Economics and Accounting, and you are already relaxing because you scored higher than the departmental cut off in the Post-UTME screening; I'm enjoining you now to get up from your relaxation and start doing what you have to do now if you don't want to lose your admission even with the high score you carry for hand. Your high score does not guarantee your admission to these departments o, you will have to shine your eyes, open your ears, and do something not many people will know you did. Na the truth I just yarn you so. Make good use of it.
