Top Ten (10) Engineering Courses With Their Cutoff Mark in Various Universities
Here are the top list of engineering courses in Nigeria.
To enable aspirants stay alert and get well prepared, he or she must tighten up his or her belt to meet the cutoff mark. As aspirants you are to note the federal universities are more competitive due to the best brain of students, you will get to meet when admitted and low cost compared to state and private universities in Nigeria.
List of schools with their cutoff, mode of Post utme calculation and various departments or branches of engineering will be discussed below.
1. FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY OWERRI (FUTO).
The federal university of technology, owerri (FUTO) is among the competitive university in Nigeria whose many aspirants desires to study engineering courses. It was established in 1980 and located in ihiagwa , imo state.
Federal university of technology owerri is among the ranking university because of her outstanding performance and impact to the society.

2. UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN (UNILORIN)
University of Ilorin was established by a degree of the federal military government in August 1975 and is based in ilorin, the capital state of Kwara in western part of Nigeria.
The utme cutoff mark according to the joint admission board (jamb) given 140 as the bench mark. Note, unilorin departmental cut off mark is never same with jamb.
University of ilorin no longer based on 100% score, Rather their mode of calculations are based on
- Screening score: 30%
- Jamb score: 50%
- ‘O’ level results: 20%
From here you are expected to divide utme score by 8, post utme score remains the same and select five relevant subject from your O’ level results.
List of engineering courses in University of ilorin and thier departmental/aggravated Departments cutoff. Agg

3. University of Nigeria, Nsuka.(UNN)
University of Nigeria, Nsuka is quite prestigious and also among the most competitive institution in Nigeria.
It was found in 1955 by Nnamdi Azikiwe and was formally opened on 7th octopi 1960.
University of Nigeria Nsuka has about two or more campuses. It cutoff mark is 140 according to bench mark from joint admission board. To be in a safer side, 180 and above for low competitive courses and 200 for higher competitive course.
Departmental cutoff mark varies on overall performance of the aspirants in a quota provided by heads of Departments
University of Nigeria uses 60:40 ratio for calculation of her cutoff mark.
- Jamb score: 60%
- Post utme: 40%
From these grading scores above you are to multiply jamb score by 0.6 and 0.4 for post utme.
Let take instances; John score 300 as jamb score and 260 as post utme score, the calculation is done as follow;
Jamb score= 300x 0.6 = 180
Post utme= 260x 0.4 = 104
Aggregate= 180+104 = 284.
Therefore John have an aggregate of 284.
Here are engineering courses and departmental cutoff in University of Nigeria, Nsuka.
Courses. Merit.
a. Mechanical engineering. 260
b. Electronics engineering. 217
c. Civil engineering 256
d.Electrical engineering. 250
Agric &Bioresources engineering 204
4. FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AKURE(FUTA)
Federal university of technology, Akure came into existence in 1981 after seven years of establishment of School of engineering and engineering technology (SEET).
Federal university of technology, Akure state is cutoff mark which is 150 and above to be qualify for Post utme.
Jamb and post utme score are both 50%.
Let take take instances; John score 220 as jamb score and 50 as post utme. The calculation are therefore done as follow
Jamb score: 220/8 = 27.5
Post utme: 50/2 = 25
Aggregate: 27.5 + 25 =52.2 %
Hence, John aggregate is 52.2%
Here are engineering courses offer in federal university of technology, Akure.
a. Agricultural engineering
b. Electrical & electronics engineering
c. Civil engineering
d. Mechanical engineering
d. Metallurgical & material engineering
e. Mining Engineering
f. Computer engineering
g. Software engineering
h. Industrial & petroleum engineering.
Note: there is no specific or giving Departmental cutoff mark, admission varies on high and low rate of the aspirants performance.
5. UNIVERSITY OF BENIN (UNIBEN).
University of Benin, is a prestigious university. It is formally established in 1970.
The cutoff mark always 200. Therefore aspirants of the university are to to score 200 and above to qualify for Post utme.
University of Benin post utme is 50% and candidate are expected to score at least 50 over 100 in post utme to qualify or eligible for admission.
Note: uniben calculation are done as follow;
Jamb score: score/400
Post utme: score/100
Let John as example provided above.
John score 294 in jamb and 70 in post utme therefore his aggregate with proper breakdown as shown below
Jamb score: 294/8 = 36.75
Post utme: 70/2 = 35
Aggregate= 36.75 + 35 = 71.75
Therefore John aggregate is 71.75
Here are list of engineering courses in University of Benin with departmental cutoff mark
a. Electrical electronics engineering. 71
b. Mechanical engineering. 73
c. Petroleum engineering. 64
d. Chemical engineering. 67
e. Computer engineering. 67
f. Civil engineering. 67
g. Production engineering 53
h. Structural Engineering. 53
Here are the merit list of engineering courses above. Also noted University of Benin also consider catchment areas which are not same as merit.
6. NNAMDI AZIKIWE UNIVERSITY,AWKA (UNIZIK).
Nnamdi Azikiwe University famously Known as unizik, she is among special leading university which offers engineering courses with the aim of development of manpower through industrial training and development of a boarder based practical application in engineering.
Here are list of Departments in faculty of engineering with their cutoff mark
a. Chemical engineering 250.5
b. Civil engineering. 245
c.Electronics & computer engineering 251
d. Industrial & production engineering 210.5
e. Mechanical engineering 243
f. Metallurgical & material engineering 209
g. Polymer & textile engineering 203.5
Unizik calculation are done by multiplying post utme by 4, adding your jamb score and divide all by 2.
Example, John score 40 in post utme and 230 as jamb score. Hence, proper breakdown below.
Post utme : 40x 4 = 160
Jamb score: 230
Aggregate: 160+230/2 = 195.
Hence, John aggregate is 195.
7. UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN (UI).
University of Ibadan was established in 1948. It became a full fledged university in 1962.
University of Ibadan, are among the top ranked university in Nigeria due to its products presented in the society.
University of Ibadan have not yet presented it general school cut off mark. But for now 200 and must be made first choice.
Here are the list of Departments in engineering with it’s cutoff mark as of last admission process.
a. Agricultural & environmental engineering 51.25 merit
b. Civil engineering 64.75. merit
c. Electrical & electronics engineering 71 merit
d. Industrial & production engineering 62.12 merits
e. Petroleum engineering 65. 87 merit
f. Wood production engineering 53.37 merit
Calculation are done by dividing your jamb score by 8 and post utme score by 2.
For instance, John have 320 as jamb score and 68 as post utme score, the breakdown will be,
Jamb score: 320/8 = 40
Post utme: 68/2 = 34
Aggregate: 40+34 =74%
8. OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY (OAU).
Obafemi Awolowo university is quite prestigious university everyone love to study. The environment more friendly and structure of building within the university.
Obafemi Awolowo university has not yet announced cutoff mark from the school board but 200 is always theirs.
Here are list of engineering courses and their cut off mark below and their mode of calculations.
In calculation of these, jamb takes 50%, post utme score 40% and five relevant subject (O’ level) which will be added 10%.
Here are O’ level grading system in OAU.
A1 – 2.0 point
B2. – 1.8 point
B3. — 1.6 point
C4. – 1.4 point
C5- 1.2 point
D7 – 1.0 point
Let say John had 260 in jamb and 30 in post utme and also have the following O’ level results.
Mathematics B2
English B2
Physics A1
Chemistry C4
Biology B2
Therefore the calculation will be
Jamb score: 260/8 = 35.5
Post utme score=26
O’ level= 1.8+1.8+2.0+1.4+1.8= 8.8
Hence John aggregate will be 35.5+26+8.8=67%
