🎯

Admission Hack

AOPE uses a transparent point-based system combining your JAMB score (70%) and O'Level grades (30%). If your JAMB score is borderline, having strong A's and B's in your WAEC/NECO can significantly boost your total points. For HND applicants, applying through the new NBTE portal is now mandatory before finalizing your AOPE screening.
