This article is designed to help students who wish to study Mechanical Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment, and Technology at the Federal University of Technology (FUTA).
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in FUTA to carefully confirm and see if the course they selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
The requirements below cover the WAEC or NECO subject combination, the four JAMB UTME papers, and a Direct Entry route that recognises technical diplomas as well as A’levels, followed by the minimum JAMB score.

About Federal University of Technology
The Federal University of Technology (FUTA) is located in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria.
It was established in 1981 as part of a motivated effort on the part of the Federal government of Nigeria to create specialized universities that produce graduates grounded in both the theoretical and practical aspects of technology.
Admission Requirements for Mechanical Engineering
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Mechanical Engineering is Five (5) SSCE credits in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language, and any other Science subject.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Mechanical Engineering at FUTA include Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Mechanical Engineering if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. Direct Entry candidates can also apply for Mechanical Engineering with an ND upper credit, NCE technical, or HND in Mech. Engineering.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
Technical Diplomas Accepted at FUTA Mechanical Engineering
Direct Entry here goes beyond A’levels. An ND at upper credit, an NCE technical, or an HND in Mechanical Engineering are all accepted, which opens the course to polytechnic and technical college graduates.
The conventional route is two A’level or NCE passes in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, the same three subjects that make up the UTME combination.
At O’level those three are joined by English Language, with any other science subject as the fifth credit.
Candidates applying through UTME need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session. Those with a diploma should check the Direct Entry wording closely before choosing a route.
