Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology (OYSCATECH) has issued a vital announcement for prospective students regarding the 2023 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). If you are considering OYSCATECH as your institution of first choice or plan to make the switch, this information is crucial.
Post-UTME Screening Dates:
The 1st Post-UTME Screening Exercise at OYSCATECH is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, November 21, and Wednesday, November 22, 2023, with both days starting at 8:00 a.m. This marks a significant step in the journey toward higher education.
Eligibility Criteria:
To participate in the Post-UTME screening, candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria. First and foremost, candidates should have scored 100 marks or more in the 2023 UTME. This requirement ensures that candidates have met a certain academic standard to be considered for admission.
In addition to this, applicants should note that they must have uploaded their O'Level results on the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). This step is crucial because, before admission can be offered by OYSCATECH, these academic records must be accessible on CAPS. Furthermore, candidates must be prompt in accepting or rejecting admission offers on CAPS before JAMB's closure of the CAPS for the year. This is necessary to ensure that candidates are included in the JAMB Matriculation list for the year.
National Diploma (ND) Entry Requirements:
For candidates aspiring to pursue National Diploma (ND) programs at OYSCATECH, certain entry requirements must be met. These requirements include having at least five (5) subjects at Credit Level in the SSCE/GCE examinations conducted by WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB. These credits should be obtained in not more than two sittings. If you meet these criteria and didn't initially choose OYSCATECH, it's important to apply for a change of course/institution through JAMB.

When filling out the online application form, candidates are expected to upload a clear passport photograph with a white background. This photo should be in JPEG format and not exceed 20kb in size.

Documents Needed for Screening:
