Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Cut Off Mark 2026/2027

If you are aiming for MAPOLY for the 2026/2027 academic session, you are choosing one of the most prestigious state polytechnics in South-West Nigeria. Located in Ojere, Abeokuta, the institution (formerly Ogun Poly) is famous for its vibrant campus life and its dominance in Mass Communication and Business studies.

JAMB Cut Off Mark for All Courses

The school management has officially aligned with the national minimum for polytechnics. The MAPOLY JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 academic session is 100.

Important Reality Check:

• The 100 Benchmark: If you scored 100 and above in the 2026 UTME, you are eligible to purchase the Post-UTME screening form. This score qualifies you to apply for any National Diploma (ND) course.

• Is 100 Enough? Yes, but be careful. MAPOLY is highly competitive. While 100 makes you eligible, thousands of students apply here.

  • The Trap: For “Hot Cake” courses like Mass Comm or SLT, a score of 100 puts you at the bottom of the list unless you have excellent O-Level results (A’s and B’s) to boost your screening points.

• First Choice Policy: To be considered for admission, you generally need to make MAPOLY your First Choice on JAMB CAPS.

Does MAPOLY Write Post UTME Exams?

No. Moshood Abiola Polytechnic typically adopts an Online Screening Method.

1. Registration: You visit the portal (mapoly.edu.ng or my.mapoly.edu.ng) when the form is out (usually July/August).

2. Payment: You generate a payment reference and pay the screening fee (usually ₦2,000).

3. Uploads: You will be required to upload your JAMB Result, O’Level Result (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB), and passport photograph.

Important Admission Tips

1. O’Level Upload: You cannot be admitted if you have not uploaded your O’Level results to JAMB CAPS. Even if you pay the acceptance fee, JAMB will not release your admission letter without this upload.

2. Medical Screening: MAPOLY takes medical registration seriously. Be prepared for a mandatory medical screening at the school clinic upon resumption.

3. HND Transition: The school runs a very robust Higher National Diploma (HND) programme. Transitioning from ND to HND within the school is seamless if you graduate with at least a Lower Credit.
