If you’re planning to study at Osun State University (UNIOSUN) for the 2025/2026 academic session, one of the most important factors to consider is the cut-off mark. This post breaks down everything you need to know about the UNIOSUN cut-off mark, its implications, departmental variations, and admission advice.
UNIOSUN Cut-Off Mark
What is UNIOSUN’s General Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026?
For the 2025/2026 academic session, the Osun State University (UNIOSUN) has set its JAMB cut-off mark at 160. This means that candidates who scored 160 and above in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are eligible to apply for the UNIOSUN Post-UTME screening exercise.
Does 160 Guarantee Admission Into UNIOSUN?
Not automatically.
While 160 is the minimum score accepted, it doesn’t guarantee admission into all courses. Some competitive courses, especially in Medicine, Nursing, Law, Engineering, and Accounting, often require higher cut-off marks due to the volume of applicants and limited admission slots.

Although UNIOSUN hasn’t officially released departmental cut-off marks for 2025/2026 at the time of writing, past trends provide insight into what you can expect. Here’s a general guide based on previous years:

How to Gain Admission Into UNIOSUN With 160
If you scored 160, your best chances of gaining admission lie in:
-
Applying for less competitive courses (e.g., Agricultural Science, Education courses, Yoruba, etc.)
-
Performing very well in Post-UTME
-
Having strong O’level results, preferably with all credits in one sitting
Post-UTME Screening at UNIOSUN
UNIOSUN conducts online screening, not a physical test. Here’s what typically counts:
-
JAMB Score
-
O’Level Grades
-
Number of Sittings (1 is preferable)
Ensure you upload all required documents to the JAMB CAPS and UNIOSUN portal to remain eligible.
UNIOSUN Admission Policy
Some key admission policies to note:
-
UNIOSUN does not consider candidates who do not choose the university as their first choice.
-
A change of institution via JAMB is necessary if you initially picked another school.
-
Candidates must be at least 16 years old to be eligible for admission.
