Osun State University (UNIOSUN) conducts a post-UTME screening rather than a written exam.
The screening aggregates combine your JAMB score and O’Level results to determine eligibility.
With a general UTME cut-off set at 160, more competitive courses require higher thresholds, up to 200 or more.
Below is a breakdown of what you need to know for each faculty and program in the 2025 cycle.
What is the general screening method and cut-off?
UNIOSUN uses a two-part scoring system: 60% from JAMB score and 40% from O’Level grades.
You can calculate your aggregate by multiplying your JAMB score by 60/400, then adding total O’Level points (A1=8 through C6=3 across five relevant subjects).
A minimum JAMB score of 160 is required to qualify for any course, with more selective programs requiring 200.
What are the screening aggregates for Science and Agricultural programs?
Science and agriculture courses typically need aggregates in the mid‑50s range. For example, Agricultural Science applicants need at least 52.5% aggregate, while Agronomy and Agricultural Economics/Extension require 56% and 55% respectively.
Pure sciences follow a similar pattern: Mathematics 56%, Physics 52%, and Chemistry 55%.
This means a strong JAMB score supported by solid O’Level grades is necessary.
How about social sciences, education, and arts courses?
These remain moderately competitive, with aggregates ranging from the low to high 50s.
Economics demands a 69% aggregate, one of the highest outside clinical courses, followed by English at 60%, Political Science at 57%, and Theatre Arts at 60%.
Less competitive options attract lower aggregates—for instance, Languages such as Arabic and French require 50%, while History and CRS need around 52%.
These thresholds reflect fluctuations in demand and available slots per department.
What are the aggregates for management and law-related studies?
Career-focused courses carry higher screening points. Business Administration and Banking & Finance require 56% and 58% respectively. Accounting expects 61.5%, making it highly selective.
Law programs, including Common Law and Islamic Law, command 60–62% aggregate.
Political Science & International Relations demands 54.5%, reflecting significant interest and limited admissions.
How high are the screening aggregates for medical and allied health courses?
Clinical programs require the highest aggregates, with Medicine & Surgery ranking top—UNIOSUN expects around 62%+, with Surgery requiring 65%.
Nursing is similarly selective, with a 65%+ aggregate.
Fundamental medical sciences like Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Community/Internal Medicine need a 60–64.5% range.
These high thresholds confirm UNIOSUN’s standard of admitting only well-qualified candidates for health-related programs.
How about engineering, computing, and technical courses?
Tech-based courses have mid-range thresholds.
Civil, Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics, and Chemical Engineering require around 180 JAMB, with screening aggregates around 50–60%; specific figures hover around 50–56%, similar to Mathematics and Statistics.
Computer Science, Cyber Security, and related courses also fall into the 160–180 JAMB range.
This aligns with UNIOSUN’s aim to balance academic quality and inclusivity in technical disciplines.
What do these points mean for applicants?
To be eligible, aim for at least a 160 UTME score and focused O’Level performance.
For clinical courses, target UTME >200 and aggregate above 60%, supported by grades like A1/B2 in science subjects.
For social sciences and management, a 160–180 UTME and 55–60% aggregate may suffice.
Always calculate your screening point ahead to clarify whether you meet the departmental benchmark before application.
How can you calculate your point accurately?
Use the official UNIOSUN formula: JAMB Score × 60 / 400, plus O’Level points for five subjects (English and Mathematics mandatory) with A1=8, C6=3.
Your overall percentage—out of 100—must meet or exceed the departmental threshold.
For real-time checks, various online calculators mimic this system, helping candidates evaluate eligibility instantly.
