Official Federal Polytechnic Ede Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about the Federal Polytechnic Ede (Ede Poly) for the 2026/2027 academic session. Whether you are searching for the departmental cut-off mark for SLT, the breakdown of the new school fees, or the truth about the “120” JAMB score benchmark, this guide covers it all.

Federal Polytechnic Ede Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for Federal Polytechnic Ede for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing one of the most sought-after polytechnics in South-West Nigeria. Located in Ede, Osun State, the institution is known for its fast academic calendar and high standards in management and technology courses.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially aligned with the national minimum for federal polytechnics. The Federal Polytechnic Ede 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.

• Is 120 Enough? While 120 allows you to buy the form, admission into competitive departments like Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), Computer Science, and Accountancy is highly competitive.

  • The Trap: Scoring exactly 120 might get you into the application pool, but candidates with 150 – 170 are usually prioritised for the merit list in popular departments.

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