Modibbo Adama University (formerly Federal University of Technology, Yola), located in Adamawa State, has released its JAMB UTME cut-off mark for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The university, known for its focus on science and technology, requires applicants to meet specific benchmarks for UTME score, O’Level result, post-UTME performance, and correct subject choices.
What is the general JAMB UTME cut-off mark for Modibbo Adama University (MAUTECH) in 2025?
For the 2025/2026 admission cycle, JAMB and the university have set the minimum UTME cut-off at 160 for all courses.
Applicants must score 160 or more and choose MAUTECH as their first or second choice to qualify for the post-UTME screening process.
Is the same 160 mark required for all programs?
Yes. MAUTECH applies a uniform UTME cut-off of 160 across all undergraduate courses.
Whether you’re targeting Engineering, Pure Sciences, Agriculture, Education, or Social Sciences, the UTME eligibility threshold remains the same.
Does meeting the cut-off guarantee admission into the university?
No. While a score of 160 allows you to register for the screening, final admission depends on your post-UTME performance, O’Level results, correct subject combination, and aggregate ranking.
Simply meeting the cut-off does not guarantee admission .
What UTME subject combinations are required for different programs?
To qualify, you must use the appropriate subject combinations in your UTME registration:
- Engineering & Physical Sciences: English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry
- Biological/Agriculture Sciences: English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics
- Education & Social Sciences: English, Mathematics/Arts subjects (e.g., Economics, Government, Geography)
- Computer & Information Science: English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry or Economics
Submitting a wrong combination can invalidate your application, even if your UTME score is high.
What O’Level results are required for admission?
Applicants must have credit passes in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in no more than two sittings.
Additional credits are required depending on the course (e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Biology for Science; Government, Economics, CRS for Social Sciences).
What is the post-UTME screening process like at MAUTECH?
After the UTME exam, eligible candidates are invited to apply for the university’s Post-UTME screening, which includes:
- Completing an online screening form via the university portal
- Uploading your valid UTME and O’Level details
- Paying a screening fee online
- Possibly attending an onsite documentation or face-to-face verification
MAUTECH typically does not conduct a written post-UTME exam, but they verify credentials thoroughly to ensure eligibility.
How is final admission determined at MAUTECH?
Admission is awarded based on your overall aggregate score, calculated from:
- UTME result (50%)
- Post-UTME assessment (including documentation) (30%)
- O’Level result quality (20%)
You must first meet the 160 UTME cut-off, register for screening, and then perform strongly across all areas to secure admission.
Can I apply if MAUTECH was my second choice in UTME?
Yes. Candidates who listed MAUTECH as their second choice and scored 160 or higher can still register for screening.
However, you must ensure that your choice has been updated to MAUTECH via JAMB CAPS before the screening portal closes.
