Uniosun cut-off mark for Accounting and Finance 2025 Admission session

by

Osun State University (UNIOSUN) requires candidates to meet both the general JAMB UTME cut-off and their specific departmental threshold for programs like Accounting and Finance. 

While the university-wide minimum is 160 UTME, the Accounting and Banking & Finance programs draw significantly more interest. 

In 2025, UNIOSUN confirmed that both Accounting and Banking & Finance have set their departmental cut-off marks at 160 UTME, aligning with the overall university standard for most areas.

What does the 160 UTME cut-off imply?

Requiring a score of at least 160 in JAMB UTME means candidates with weaker performance need not apply, but UNIOSUN is also not raising the bar for these programs, showing they remain relatively accessible. 

This department-level threshold qualifies candidates to proceed to the post-UTME screening, where further evaluation controls admission quality.

How does the post-UTME screening work?

UNIOSUN’s selection process blends 60% of your UTME score with 40% of your O’Level grade points (A1 = 8 to C6 = 3 across five subjects). 

To stay competitive, you should aim for a final aggregate of 60% or higher. 

For Accounting or Banking & Finance, this usually means:

  • Scoring 160+ UTME, ideally closer to 180 or 200 to strengthen your position

  • Securing top grades in O’Level—especially in Mathematics, English, and relevant subjects

  • Completing the Post-UTME screening accurately and early

Those with 160 may qualify, but higher performance improves odds during ranking.

Have cut-off marks for these courses changed?

Compared to 2024, Accounting and Banking & Finance were also set at 160 UTME the same as 2025.

This consistency over consecutive cycles highlights UNIOSUN’s maintained admission standards, with these programs intended to be inclusive yet subject to screening to ensure candidate quality.

How should aspirants plan based on this cut-off?

If your UTME score is 160–179, apply confidently and just make sure your O’Level results are strong. 

If you score 180–200, your chances increase, especially if your aggregate after screening surpasses 60%.

What score range offers the best odds?

Realistic target:

  • 180–200 UTME

  • At least C 5/B 3 in Maths and any Accounting-related subject

  • Strong English proficiency

Achieving this range ensures your profile is well within the top-student category—and not just eligible.

How does Accounting & Finance compare to other courses?

Unlike Medicine, Nursing, or Law, where UNIOSUN demands 200 or higher UTME, Accounting and Finance remain at the base 160 UTME level. 

That makes them more accessible options for students who meet the general university minimum, yet still want strong career-track programs.
