Adamawa State Polytechnic Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Adamawa State Polytechnic JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 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 most National Diploma (ND) courses in the institution.

• The “Merit” Score: While 120 allows you to buy the form, admission into competitive departments like Mass Communication, Computer Science, and Public Administration often requires a slightly higher score. Candidates with 140 – 160 are usually prioritised for these “hot cake” courses.

• First Choice Policy: To be considered for admission, you MUST choose Adamawa State Polytechnic as your First Choice on JAMB CAPS. If they are currently your Second Choice, apply for a Change of Institution immediately.
