Frequently asked questions

What is the cut-off mark for engineering in 2026?

Cut-off marks for engineering in the 2026 cycle range from 229 to 260, with an average of 240 across the 111 institution-course combinations tracked in this guide. JAMB's national minimum is 150; the figure that decides consideration is always the specific course cut-off at the institution.

Which engineering have the lowest cut-off in 2026?

The lowest engineering cut-off in this guide for 2026 is 229 at FUGusau for Civil Engineering. Sorting the table on this page ascending by UTME cut-off surfaces the most accessible options first - useful for candidates with mid-range JAMB scores.

Which engineering have the highest cut-off in 2026?

The highest engineering cut-off in this guide for 2026 is 260 at UI for Electrical and Electronic Engineering. These competitive-ceiling figures reflect the strongest candidate pools; a comfortable margin above the cut-off plus a strong post-UTME is the realistic plan.

How are engineering cut-offs decided by JAMB?

JAMB sets the national minimum admissible score at its annual policy meeting (150 for universities in 2026). Each institution then sets its own general and course-specific cut-offs above that floor, based on candidate volume, applicant strength and the number of available places. The course cut-off, not the national minimum, is the decisive figure.

Do engineering cut-offs change every year?

Yes. Cut-offs are reset for each admission cycle. They rise when more high-scoring candidates choose a programme and ease when applicant volume drops. Plan around the current 2026 figure rather than a previous year's number, and always confirm against the institution's official portal before paying any fees.

Where can I find the official engineering cut-off marks?

Official cut-off marks are published by each institution on its admissions or registry portal, and by JAMB through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). The figures on this page are paraphrased from those announcements and kept current through the 2026 cycle; treat the institution's own portal as authoritative.
