Official List of Courses Offered in Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) for 2026/2027

Official List of Courses Offered in Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY): Are you looking for the list of courses at Moshood Abiola University of Science and Technology (MAUSTECH)? If so, you need to pause and read this very carefully. There is a lot of confusion regarding the status of this institution. Was it upgraded to a university? Is it still a polytechnic? Here is the official reality for the 2026/2027 session: The institution located at Ojere, Abeokuta, is currently operating fully as Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY).

Important Admission Secrets for 2026/2027

To secure admission into MAPOLY, you need to navigate their specific requirements:

1. The “JAMB Cut-Off” Strategy

• Official Cut-Off: MAPOLY usually accepts 120 in JAMB.

• The Trap: While 120 gets you into the school’s screening portal, it cannot get you into Mass Communication or Computer Science. For these courses, you need a high Post-UTME aggregate.

• Calculation: Your admission score is usually a ratio of your JAMB Score + O’Level Grades. Good O-Level results (A’s and B’s) are crucial.

2. The “Indigene” Factor

• MAPOLY is owned by the Ogun State Government.

• Ogun Indigenes: You get priority admission.

• Non-Indigenes: You are very welcome (a large chunk of students come from Lagos), but you must meet the merit requirements.

3. Full-Time vs. Part-Time

• If you score below 120 in JAMB, MAPOLY has a very robust ND Part-Time programme.

• Secret: The certificate is the same. The lectures are often held on weekdays (evenings) or Weekends depending on the schedule. It is a great alternative if you miss the UTME cut-off.
