The 2026/2027 cut-off mark picture for ATAPOLY is now out. Candidates need this information before they can tell whether they are in contention for a place, and before any screening exercise starts.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat ATAPOLY’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. Candidates should confirm their own UTME result against this figure before taking any further step.
Candidates aspiring to be admitted into ATAPOLY must meet specific criteria to study the course of their choice. The list of criteria includes meeting the required cut-off mark for the school and the course or department itself.
ATAPOLY JAMB Cut-off Mark
The official JAMB cut-off mark for National Diploma (ND) programmes at Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic is 120. That’s your baseline for accessing the Post-UTME screening portal for ND courses.

Courses/Departments In ATAPOLY With Their Cut-off Marks
ATAPOLY’s ND cut-off mark isn’t completely flat across every course. The general 120 covers most ND programmes, but a few run higher: Science Laboratory Technology, a competitive course, has been reported around 140 and above, Computer Science sits between 130 and 140, and Statistics and Geological Technology are around 120 and above.
This page previously showed three different, contradictory figures in the same breath, 120, 150, and 180, for what was described as a single flat cut-off. That was a mistake. The 150 and 180 figures weren’t ND cut-offs at all, they’re closer to what ATAPOLY’s degree programmes require.
ATAPOLY also runs B.Tech and B.Sc degree programmes in affiliation with Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), and those carry a noticeably higher cut-off mark, typically in the 160 to 180 range, reflecting university-level admission standards rather than the ND floor.
We couldn’t pull a fresh confirmation of either the departmental ND figures or the degree-affiliate figures directly from ATAPOLY’s own site, so confirm your specific programme with the admissions office before applying.
Making Sense of ATAPOLY’s 2026/2027 Figure
The cut-off mark is ATAPOLY‘s way of narrowing the field. Candidates who clear it still have real work left before admission is confirmed.
