FPTB has confirmed how its cut-off mark works for the 2026/2027 session. That detail shapes everything else a candidate does next in the admission process, from screening eligibility to document submission.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat FPTB’s figure as the starting point for everything else in the admission process. Nothing else in the admission process matters until this threshold is settled.
FPTB Cut-off Mark for 2026/2027
JAMB’s 2026 policy meeting kept 100 as the national floor for polytechnics, and FPTB has to work above that. Sources reporting FPTB’s own figure for this cycle disagree, ranging anywhere from 100 to 140 depending on the page, with no single number standing out as independently confirmed from the polytechnic’s own admissions channels.
Until FPTB confirms its own cut-off, treat 100 as the floor you need to clear, and expect more competitive courses to ask for a higher score once Post-UTME screening gets underway. It is worth double-checking this detail directly against the official portal before relying on it.

Clearing the cut-off mark at FPTB does not finish the admission process on its own. Candidates still need to complete screening, document verification, and any departmental requirement before a place is confirmed.
FPTB reviews every candidate against the same baseline figure first, before anything else about an application is considered. That order does not change from one candidate to the next.
Candidates applying to FPTB should keep their JAMB and O’Level documents ready well before any screening date is announced, since processing delays are common when paperwork is incomplete.
What Happens After the FPTB Cutoff
FPTB uses its cut-off mark to set the floor for consideration, not the ceiling for admission. Everything after that point still matters.
Nothing about the rest of the process gets easier just because this figure is cleared. FPTB candidates should keep that in mind while the rest of the admission process plays out.
