Profile
The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) sets a minimum UTME score for admission into its Computer Engineering programme each year. While the exact figure varies annually based on competition and policy, the general historical cut-off range for competitive courses at Nigerian universities is between 230 and 250. Candidates should note that meeting the cut-off does not guarantee admission, as other factors like O’Level results and post-UTME performance also apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the FUTA Computer Engineering cut-off mark determined?
FUTA’s cut-off mark is set by the university’s Senate in accordance with JAMB’s minimum benchmark and considers the number of applicants, available slots, and aggregate performance trends from previous years. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for Computer Engineering at FUTA?
The official cut-off mark is released on the FUTA admissions portal (admissions.futa.edu.ng) and also published on JAMB’s CAPS platform. Always refer to these sources for the most accurate and current figure. - What happens if I score below FUTA’s cut-off mark for Computer Engineering?
If your UTME score is below the cut-off, you will not be considered for admission into that programme. You may, however, apply for a change of course through JAMB to a less competitive programme at FUTA or another institution, or try again next year.
The cut-off mark for Computer Engineering at FUTA is not fixed and changes each admissions cycle. For the most accurate and binding figure for the current year, always check the official JAMB website and the FUTA admissions portal. Prepare thoroughly and ensure you meet all O’Level requirements to strengthen your application.
