Knowing your UTME score is one thing, but figuring out if it is enough to get you into your dream school is what really matters. For those aiming for the Federal University of Technology, Akure, the wait is over because FUTA has officially released its cut off mark for the 2025/2026 admission cycle.
This score is the main decider that tells you if you are eligible to move forward with the FUTA Post UTME screening. Understanding where you stand now makes it much easier to plan your next move and get ready for the screening process.
FUTA General Cut Off Mark 2025/2026
The approved general JAMB cut off mark is 180. If you scored 180 or above and selected FUTA as your first choice, you are eligible to apply for the Post UTME screening. Any score below 180 means you will not be considered for admission into the university.
Calculating Your Aggregate Score
Your final admission score is based on an average of your UTME and Post UTME scores. This average is what departments use to set their cut off marks.
Aggregate Score Formula: (JAMB Score + Post UTME Score)÷2
The higher your aggregate score, the better your chances, especially for competitive courses like Architecture, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering.
FUTA Departmental Cut Off Marks
Beyond the general score, FUTA also uses departmental cut off marks. These are usually higher for competitive courses and are influenced by:
Number of applicants
Overall screening performance
Available admission slots
Based on past admission trends, these are the commonly accepted departmental cut off marks.
