Federal University of Technology Minna
The Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) is one of Nigeria’s leading technology-focused federal universities. Admission into FUTMINNA is competitive and strictly based on approved UTME cut-off marks, departmental requirements, and screening performance.
This guide explains the FUTMINNA cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 admission session, including the general benchmark and departmental cut-off marks for all courses, to help candidates plan properly ahead of admission.
What Is FUTMINNA Cut-Off Mark?
The FUTMINNA cut-off mark is the minimum UTME score a candidate must obtain to be eligible for admission consideration.
Any candidate who scores below the approved cut-off mark will not be allowed to participate in the screening exercise, regardless of O-Level results.
Meeting the cut-off mark qualifies a candidate for screening but does not automatically guarantee admission, especially for competitive courses.
FUTMINNA General Cut-Off Mark for 2026/2027

FUTMINNA Departmental Cut-Off Marks for All Courses (2026/2027 Guide)
FUTMINNA does not use the same cut-off mark for all courses. Engineering, Architecture, and some science-based programmes require higher UTME scores due to competition.
