The school authority has announced the Federal Poly Ayede, JAMB cut off mark for all courses offered at the polytechnic in compliance with JAMB’s directive. Before Federal Poly Ayede’s administration and school authorities set their minimal cut-off point, it must be consistent with JAMB’s approved cut-off mark for the academic session. JAMB does not set the Federal Poly Ayede cut off mark; nevertheless, they (JAMB) set a predetermined admission cut off point for each academic session that no polytechnic is allowed to fall below, i.e., in the case of Federal Poly Ayede, they are not allowed to fall below the ceiling set for setting cut off marks.
JAMB set the overall cut-off mark for all Polytechnics at 120 this academic session. Federal Poly Ayede, on the other hand, is free to set its minimal entrance cut-off point at 120 or higher. The cutoff mark for Federal Poly Ayede, for example, is 120. This simply means that candidates who select Federal Poly Ayede as their preferred polytechnic must have obtained a score of 120 or higher in order to acquire an Federal Poly Ayede post-UTME form and apply for admission to their desired programme. It is the responsibility of JAMB to regulate and admit qualified applicants who meet the Federal Poly Ayede cut-off point and have passed the Post-UTME test.
Often times candidates seeking admission are confused as to what is the best JAMB score for their course which results to questions like?
I got 120 in JAMB; can i be admitted into Federal Poly Ayede?
What score must i get to study Computer Science in Federal Poly Ayede?
What is Federal Poly Ayede cut off mark for 2025/2026 academic session
Candidates, who scored 120 or higher may wonder if they are eligible to study Political Science or any of the Federal Poly Ayede courses, please note that using the courses and cut-off marks published today, you will be able to determine whether or not you are eligible for admission to Federal Poly Ayede on your own. I’ll include the accepted Federal Poly Ayede courses as well as the minimal JAMB cut off mark you’ll need to be qualified for Post UTME at Federal Poly Ayede.
Please keep in mind that selecting Federal Poly Ayede as your first choice of polytechnic in your UTME registration is the first step to getting admission, as the school will give priority to applicants who chose Federal Poly Ayede as their first choice of polytechnic before evaluating other options if necessary.
Candidates with higher JAMB scores have a better chance of getting into Federal Poly Ayede, even though all candidates who score 120 and above are given equal chances to sit for the post-UTME. This is because after calculating their aggregate score or weighted average, candidates with higher JAMB scores tend to score higher because their UTME scores give them an advantage when calculating their average cut. So, to improve your chances of pursuing your selected degree, you should work as hard as possible to achieve high in your JAMB and Post-UTME exams.
With the aforementioned facts at your disposal, I am confident that you will get admitted to Federal Poly Ayede without difficulty. Except for applicants from the Educationally Less Developed States, the majority of candidates are unaware that a low JAMB score reduces their chances.
The Federal Poly Ayede cut off mark is fairly high, which means that scoring up to 120 in your JAMB is difficult, unlike other Federal schools with the same level as Federal Poly Ayede, which have a minimum cut off mark of 120.
In the table below, I have listed all Federal Poly Ayede courses as well as the Federal Poly Ayede JAMB cut off mark in a tabular manner for both first-time candidates and candidates who have already attempted JAMB.
