Every year, the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) sets a specific cut-off mark for admission into its Physiotherapy programme. While the general historical cut-off for competitive courses ranges between 200 and 230, the exact current figure is determined by the university and JAMB based on that year’s applicant pool and available slots.
