If you are aiming for Anambra State Polytechnic for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing a state-owned institution located in Mgbakwu, Awka North LGA.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially aligned with the state minimum. The Anambra State Polytechnic JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 120.

Important Reality Check:

• The 120 Benchmark: If you scored 120 and above in the 2026 UTME, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME form. This score qualifies you to apply for any National Diploma (ND) course in the institution.

• Can I apply with 100? In previous sessions, state polytechnics have sometimes accepted scores as low as 100, depending on the volume of applicants. However, sticking to 120 is the “safe zone.” If you scored between 100 and 119, visit the campus in Mgbakwu to confirm eligibility before buying the form.

• First Choice Policy: To be considered for admission, you should ideally make Anambra State Polytechnic your First Choice on JAMB CAPS. If they are your Second Choice, apply for a Change of Institution immediately.
