Profile
The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) sets a specific cut-off mark for admission into its Electrical Engineering programme each year. This mark, combined with other requirements such as O’Level credits and UTME subject combination, determines eligibility for the post-UTME screening. Historically, cut-off marks for competitive engineering courses at Nigerian universities have ranged between 220 and 250, but the exact figure for FUTA Electrical Engineering is released annually by JAMB and the university.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Electrical Engineering at FUTA determined?
The cut-off mark is decided by the university in consultation with JAMB, based on factors like the number of applicants, available slots, and the previous year’s performance. It is usually announced after the UTME results are released. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for FUTA Electrical Engineering?
The official cut-off mark is published on the JAMB portal (jamb.gov.ng) and the FUTA admission website (admissions.futa.edu.ng). You should also monitor the university’s official social media channels and the admission bulletin. - What happens if my UTME score is below the cut-off mark for Electrical Engineering at FUTA?
If your score falls below the cut-off, you will not be eligible for the post-UTME screening for that course. You may consider changing to a less competitive programme within FUTA or applying to another university where your score meets the requirement.
To ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to the official JAMB brochure and the FUTA admissions portal for the current year’s cut-off mark. Meeting the cut-off is only one step in the admission process; be sure to also fulfil all O’Level and other requirements. Good luck with your application!
