The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) opens post-UTME screening to candidates who meet its general JAMB cut-off. Here’s the confirmed figure for 2026/2027 and what departmental scores tend to look like.
FUTA cut-off mark at a glance
- General 2026/2027 JAMB cut-off to be eligible for FUTA’s post-UTME screening: 180.
- Candidates must have chosen FUTA as their first choice in JAMB.
- Engineering departments (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Mechatronics) have historically required higher departmental aggregates, in the 200-240 range in recent sessions.
- If your JAMB score is low for a competitive department, changing to a less competitive course at FUTA improves your admission odds.
General cut-off
FUTA’s reported general cut-off for the 2026/2027 session is 180 — candidates who chose FUTA as first choice and scored 180 or above are eligible for post-UTME screening.
Departmental expectations
FUTA’s engineering departments (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical/Electronic, Mechatronics) have typically required higher departmental aggregates than the general cut-off — historically in the 200-240 range — though this varies by session and department capacity. Less competitive departments generally admit closer to the general cut-off.
