Whether you are searching for the departmental cut-off mark for SLT, the breakdown of the new school fees, or the truth about the “140” benchmark, this guide covers it all.

Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing one of the most prestigious and competitive polytechnics in South-West Nigeria. Located in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, the institution is known for its rigorous academic standards and stable calendar.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially set the Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 140.

Important Reality Check:

• The 140 Benchmark: This is the minimum score required to access the application portal. If you scored 140 and above in the 2026 UTME, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME form.

• The “Departmental” Catch: Unlike many state polytechnics, where 140 grants you automatic admission, Fed Poly Ado is highly competitive.

  • The Trap: Scoring exactly 140 might allow you to apply for Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) or Mass Communication, but it is rarely enough to get you admitted to the merit list. These departments often require scores ranging from 180 to 200+ due to the high volume of applicants.

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

   • Warning: A deficiency in these key subjects leads to automatic disqualification, regardless of your JAMB score.
