Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) is one of Nigeria's most prestigious federal universities, with a UTME cut-off (200) significantly higher than DELSU's (150).

The acceptance fee figure for OAU is uncertain (sources conflict on whether a distinct fee even applies) and should be verified directly with OAU before publishing.

OAU suits candidates who can meet its higher UTME threshold and want a strong-reputation federal university, accepting a materially higher cost. DELSU remains the lower-cost, lower-barrier option.
