Getting your UTME result is a big step, but the next question most candidates ask is simple: Does my score meet the required cut off mark?

If you are planning to study at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, for the 2026/2027 academic session, knowing the approved cut off marks helps you decide your next move early. It also gives you a clear idea of how competitive your chosen course may be.

For the 2026/2027 admission cycle, FUTMINNA has fixed the general minimum cut off mark at 150. However, several courses require higher scores due to demand and competition.

We will explain what the cut off mark means, list the approved scores by school and course, and highlight other requirements you should not ignore if you want your name to make it into the admission list.

FUTMINNA Cut Off Marks by School and Course

The cut off mark is the minimum UTME score required to qualify for the Post UTME screening exercise.

If your score meets or exceeds the required mark:

  • You can apply for the Post UTME screening

  • Your application will be considered for admission

  • You can move forward with registration and document submission

If your score falls below the required mark:

  • You will not be eligible for that course

  • You may need to consider a course change

For the 2026/2027 session, the general cut off mark is 150, while competitive courses are from 170 to 200. Courses in engineering, ICT, health, and architecture usually have higher requirements.
