With a JAMB score of 226, you have a very strong chance of gaining admission into Computer Science at Osun State University (UNIOSUN) for the 2026/2027 session.
​You have comfortably cleared the primary hurdle, but since Computer Science is one of the most competitive courses in the College of Science, Engineering, and Technology, here is the detailed breakdown of your standing:
​1. The Cut-off Analysis
​General Cut-off: UNIOSUN has set its general institutional cut-off at 160. You are 66 points above this baseline.
​Departmental Target: For Computer Science, the departmental cut-off usually settles around 180. With 226, you are significantly ahead of the minimum requirement, which puts you in a prime position for the Merit Admission List.
​2. The UNIOSUN Admission Formula
​UNIOSUN uses a point-based system to rank candidates. While they do not always conduct a physical Post-UTME exam (often opting for an online screening of results), they calculate an Aggregate Score based on:
​UTME Score (50%)
​O'Level Results (50%)
​The Power of Your O'Level: Since your JAMB score is already high, your O'Level grades (WAEC/NECO) will act as the "seal" on your admission. UNIOSUN awards points for your 5 core subjects:
​A1 = 10 points
​B2/B3 = 8/7 points
​C4 – C6 = 6–4 points
​If you have distinctions (A1s and B2s) in Mathematics, English, Physics, and Chemistry, your aggregate will be nearly untouchable.
​3. Core Requirements Checklist
​To ensure your admission is processed without issues, confirm the following:
​First Choice: You must have chosen UNIOSUN as your university of first choice.
​Subject Combination: Your JAMB subjects must have been English, Mathematics, Physics, and either Chemistry or Biology.
​O'Level Credits: You must have at least 5 Credits (in no more than two sittings) in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and one other science subject.

So you're in a safe zone.
