Hoping to study computing at OAU?
Everything an aspiring Nacosite needs to gain admission into a computing course at Obafemi Awolowo University, in one place. You become a NACOS member once you are a computing student here.
The Path In
How to gain admission.
- 1
Meet the O'Level requirements
Five SSCE credits at not more than two sittings, including English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, plus other relevant science subjects.
- 2
Sit the UTME and choose OAU
Register for JAMB, select Obafemi Awolowo University as your first-choice institution, and pick a computing course as your programme. English Language is compulsory in your subject combination.
- 3
Score at least the general cut-off
OAU's general minimum UTME eligibility mark is around 200. Meeting this only qualifies you for the next stage — it does not guarantee admission, especially for competitive courses.
- 4
Sit the OAU Post-UTME screening
Register for and write the university screening exercise. Your final aggregate combines your UTME, Post-UTME and O'Level results.
- 5
Score above the departmental cut-off
Each computing course sets its own aggregate each year. See the recent marks below to understand what you are aiming for.
- 6
Accept your admission and resume
Track your status on JAMB CAPS, accept your offer, complete registration — and we will see you on campus. Welcome, future Nacosite.

Tool
Calculate your aggregate.
Enter your scores to estimate your aggregate: O'Level (out of 10) + Post-UTME (out of 50) + JAMB ÷ 8 (out of 50), for a raw total out of 110.
This is an indicative calculator. O'Level points are calculated by the university using a separate grading method — confirm your exact O'Level points with the admission office before relying on this estimate.
