Tech-U (Abiola Ajimobi Technical University), formerly known as First Technical University, has released the official cut off marks for the 2025/2026 admission exercise. Candidates seeking admission through UTME must meet the minimum score required for their chosen course before they can apply for the university's Post UTME screening.

The cut off mark is one of the key admission requirements used by Tech-U to determine candidates who are eligible for admission consideration. Although the university has approved a general minimum score of 180, several programmes require higher UTME scores due to their competitive nature. Candidates should therefore check the cut off mark for their preferred course and ensure they satisfy every other admission requirement before applying.

Tech-U Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026

Tech-U has approved 180 as the minimum JAMB cut off mark for the 2025/2026 admission exercise.

Candidates who score 180 or above in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are eligible to apply for admission, provided they also meet the specific cut off mark and admission requirements for their chosen course.

It is important to note that scoring the minimum cut off mark does not guarantee admission. Some courses require higher scores because of the number of applicants and the available admission quota.
