Official MAPOLY (Moshood Abiola Polytechnic) Admission Guide 2026/2027

Official Cut-Off Marks for 2026/2027: This article provides you with everything you need to know about the institution popularly searched as Moshood Abiola University of Science and Technology (MAUSTECH), which is currently operating as Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY). Whether you are confused about the name or just want to know your chances of admission, this guide covers the official cut-off marks, the “University vs. Polytechnic” status, and the admission requirements for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Important Clarification: Is it MAUSTECH or MAPOLY?

Before we discuss the cut-off marks, it is crucial to clear the air regarding the name of the institution.

• The Confusion: A few years ago, the Ogun State Government upgraded the polytechnic to a university named Moshood Abiola University of Science and Technology (MAUSTECH).

• The Current Status: However, the university project was suspended, and the institution was reverted to its original status as a Polytechnic.

• The Reality: As of the 2026/2027 admission cycle, the institution accepts students under the name Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY). You will likely not find “MAUSTECH” on the JAMB portal for undergraduate admission; you must apply to MAPOLY.

MAPOLY (MAUSTECH) JAMB Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for this prestigious institution in Abeokuta, you are choosing one of the most respected polytechnics in Nigeria. The admission standards are reasonable, making it accessible to many candidates.

The school management has officially set the MAPOLY JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session at 100.

Important Reality Check:

• The 100 Benchmark: This is the general eligibility score. If you scored 100 or above in JAMB, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME form.

• Departmental Competition: While 100 qualifies you to apply, highly competitive courses (like Mass Communication, Computer Science, and SLT) often require slightly higher scores or a very strong O-Level result to secure admission on the first list.

• First Choice Policy: MAPOLY usually requires you to choose them as your First Choice in JAMB. If they are your Second Choice, you must do a Change of Institution on JAMB CAPS to be considered.

2. Upload Credentials: You upload your O’Level Result (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) and JAMB details.

3. Grading: The admission office evaluates your credentials. If you have the required 5 Credits (including English and Maths) and meet the 100 cut-off, you are offered admission.

Important Admission Tips

1. O’Level is Key: Since the JAMB cut-off is low (100), your admission largely depends on your O’Level results. Having A’s and B’s in your core subjects gives you a massive advantage.

2. Upload to CAPS: You MUST upload your O-Level results to JAMB CAPS. MAPOLY will not admit any candidate with “Awaiting Result” status on CAPS once the admission list is compiled.

3. HND Progression: One of the benefits of MAPOLY is that if you perform well in your ND program (Minimum of Lower Credit), you have a smooth transition into their HND program, which is widely recognized.
