OAU Post-UTME Examination Date
The main OAU Post-UTME examination is scheduled to commence on Friday, September 25, 2026.
Candidates are expected to carefully monitor official updates from the university regarding their examination schedule and other important instructions.
Eligibility for the OAU Post-UTME
The screening exercise is strictly for candidates who selected Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, as their first-choice institution during the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Candidates who did not select OAU as their first choice may need to effect the necessary changes through the appropriate JAMB process where applicable.
OAU Post-UTME Examination Format
The examination is expected to consist of 40 questions, with each question carrying one mark. Candidates will have 60 minutes to complete the examination.
With an average of approximately one and a half minutes per question, effective time management will be essential. Candidates are therefore advised to practise answering questions under timed conditions before the examination.
Subjects to Be Tested
The OAU Post-UTME examination will reportedly cover three of the candidate's core UTME subjects, excluding English Language.
In addition to the three UTME subjects, candidates will also take a General Aptitude Test. The aptitude section is expected to cover areas such as History, Current Affairs, Logical Reasoning and General Knowledge.
Candidates are advised to prepare broadly and familiarise themselves with both their UTME subjects and general aptitude questions.
Examination Mode and Venue
The OAU Post-UTME examination will be conducted as a Computer-Based Test (CBT).
The examination venue is the OAU Campus ICT Centre, Ile-Ife. Candidates are expected to pay close attention to their examination details once their slips become available.
OAU Post-UTME Examination Slip Reprinting
Candidates should also note that the examination slip reprinting schedule, containing details of their specific examination batch, date, time and venue, is expected to be released next week.
Once the reprinting portal becomes available, candidates are advised to print their examination slips and carefully verify all the information provided on them.
