OAU ASPIRANTS- What Do You Think About The New System Used In Screening by MhizVeronica(f): 8:03pm On Jul 19, 2016
OAU ask student to pay a sum of 6850, no physical appearance, and once u input your jamb data and o'level result, your final score is calculated, the only thing you will wait for after screening is the cut off mark for your course.

Do you think that is right.

For me, is not ideal cos a lot of candidate will be disadvantaged "those that don't have good grades in their O'level result"

For instance:


today i registered for two people

the first gal scored 235 chose medicine buh her o'level, most of her grade is c4, c5 nd c6...........wen she registered her total score was 55.7%

the other guy scored 219 chose maths buh his o'level grade is A1, (2) B3, B2 nd c4.overall was 58.1%

so let say OAU released course cutoff as
Medicine: 60%
Maths: 50%

it certain the first girl is out, not becus she didn't pass buh her course cutoff drops her


I think post utme is better off than this or what do you think

Like you said O'level result should help.If one has low UTME result plus average grades in O'level,you should still be above 50,e.g [8 C4s=15] + [UTME 200=35] = 50 ....OAU would def. have some courses with 50 as cutoff.

If one has a worse result than the above the he/she should start praying for a change of policy or look at other options.
Re: OAU ASPIRANTS- What Do You Think About The New System Used In Screening by Teedove10(m): 1:14pm On Jul 20, 2016
I'm so confused ..is it that there's no need for utme score if one applied through direct entry? or the result at diploma level is wat will be used in place of the utme score.

We Were Granted D Right Of Choosing Two Courses(i.E Ur Desired Course 'nd Any Other..). If O A U Releases Their Cut Off 'nd She Couldn't Meet Up With D 1st Choice Course, She Might Be Lucky With D Second, Provided She Chose A Less Competitive Course As Her 2nd Choice Course.
Ps: Fellow Aspirants Ain't Supposed To Choose Two Competitive Courses. It Might Give Slim Chances Of Gaining Admission. But, Who Knows... With A Good/High Score, One Might Wanna Risk It...(GOOD LUCK!). My Opinion, Though.

Good talk. for direct entry ur second choice of course is irrelevant as u can only choose the very course u read at diploma level.

hope you ain't one of those that advocated for the scrapping in the first place

when you said its not ideal for those with low jamb score..what should happen to those with poor jamb score due to error ....the screening should have been 50/50 to provide equal playground
