Profile
The Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) sets a specific cut-off mark for its Computer Engineering programme each admission year. While the exact figure for the current session is only released by JAMB and the university, historical trends for competitive engineering courses at FUTO often fall within the national general range of 230–250. Candidates should note that meeting the cut-off mark does not guarantee admission, as other factors like O’Level grades and screening performance also matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Computer Engineering at FUTO determined?
FUTO’s cut-off mark is set annually by the university’s admission committee in line with JAMB’s national minimum and the number of available slots. Factors include the performance of applicants in UTME, the programme’s popularity, and the university’s academic standards. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for FUTO Computer Engineering?
The official cut-off mark is published on the JAMB CAPS portal and on FUTO’s admission website (www.futo.edu.ng). Always refer to these sources rather than third-party sites for the accurate figure. - What happens if my UTME score is below the cut-off mark for Computer Engineering at FUTO?
If your score falls below the cut-off, you may not be considered for Computer Engineering. However, you can change your course to a less competitive programme at FUTO or apply via Direct Entry if you meet the O’Level and other requirements.
Staying informed about the exact current-year cut-off mark is essential for a successful application to FUTO’s Computer Engineering programme. Be sure to verify the figure on the official JAMB portal or the FUTO admission website once it is released. Prepare thoroughly for both UTME and any post-UTME screening to improve your chances.
