Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has officially announced the second stream of the entrance examination for its Pre-Degree and Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) programs for the 2024/2025 academic session. This opportunity is extended to candidates who missed the first round or those seeking a second chance to secure admission into these highly competitive programs.

About OAU Pre-Degree and JUPEB Programs

• Pre-Degree Program: This is a one-year intensive program aimed at preparing candidates for undergraduate admissions into OAU and other universities. Successful candidates can gain admission into 100-level programs after passing the Pre-Degree examinations and meeting the required cut-off marks for their desired courses.
• JUPEB Program: The JUPEB program is also a one-year preparatory course, but successful candidates are offered direct entry admission into 200-level in OAU or any other partnering Nigerian university. This program is ideal for candidates who wish to bypass the traditional 100-level admission route.
