Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Releases Cut-Off Marks for College of Health Sciences

The prestigious Bafemi Awolowo University has officially approved the cut-off marks for admission into its esteemed College of Health Sciences. These cut-off marks have been confirmed by Naijainterest media and play a pivotal role in determining admissions for the upcoming academic year.

Here are the merit cut-off marks for various programs within the College of Health Sciences:

- Medicine: 79%

- Nursing: 71.8%

- Medical Rehabilitation: 69%

However, it is essential to note that Dentistry is not included in this list due to a loss in accreditation, which makes it unavailable for admissions at this time. Furthermore, there is no specific catchment area cut-off mark for health sciences due to the high level of competition for these programs.

As OAU gears up for the 2022/2023 UTME admissions, it is crucial to understand that these cut-off marks play a significant role in the admission process. This year, the cut-off marks appear relatively high because OAU intends to admit only 40% of its admission quota from the new applicants. The remaining 60% of the quota has already been allocated to last year's applicants. Therefore, the departmental cut-offs have been set to accommodate this distribution.

To illustrate, if OAU's admission quota for the upcoming academic session is 20,000 slots, it means that 12,000 applicants have already been admitted from the 2021/2022 applicants, leaving only 8,000 slots available for the 2022/2023 applicants. This explains the relatively high departmental cut-off marks for this year.

For highly competitive departments such as Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Dentistry, Medical Rehabilitation, Pharmacy, Law, Accounting, and Economics, meeting the cut-off may not guarantee admission due to intense competition. Aspiring students are encouraged to put their best foot forward when applying for these programs.

The release of these cut-off marks marks a significant step in the admission process for Bafemi Awolowo University's College of Health Sciences, providing valuable information for prospective students seeking admission in the upcoming academic session.
