Yes, you can be admitted with 176, but it will likely be through the supplementary list rather than the first merit list.
​Here is the realistic breakdown for Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), formerly ANSU:
​1. The Eligibility Factor
​General Cut-off: COOU has set its general JAMB cut-off for the 2025/2026 session at 150 for non-competitive courses and 200 for high-demand professional courses (Medicine, Law, Nursing, etc.).
​Engineering Status: Civil Engineering falls into the middle category. While you have cleared the basic 150 mark to buy the form, competitive engineering courses usually see their departmental cut-offs hover between 180 and 200.
​2. No Post-UTME Exam
​COOU does not conduct a physical CBT exam. They use online document screening. This means your admission is calculated based on:
​JAMB Score (176)
​O'Level Results (WAEC/NECO)
​Since you aren't writing an exam to "pull up" your score, your O'Level grades must be very strong (mostly A's and B's) to make your aggregate competitive against students with 200+ JAMB scores.
