This is to inform the general public and all Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) aspirants that the Department of Industrial Education Technology admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover a general O Level line, three sets of FUTMINNA waivers, the JAMB papers, four Direct Entry routes and the minimum score. Technical certificates feature heavily, which is unusual for a degree programme.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Industrial Education Technology include the following:
- Five (5) ‘O’ Level credit passes to include Physics or Mathematics
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA requires five credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and any two science subjects.
The general line asks only for Physics or Mathematics among the five credits. The FUTMINNA waiver asks for both, plus English Language and two science subjects, so the waiver is clearly the stricter condition.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics and one other Science subject
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA requires Mathematics, Physics, and anyone taken from Biology, Agricultural Science, Chemistry, Economics, Geography, or Arts
On the JAMB form the waiver works the other way and widens the options. Economics, Geography and Arts subjects are accepted as the fourth paper, where the general line expects another science.

Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Industrial Education Technology if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in Physics and Mathematics.
- ND lower credit in Civil Engineering, Production/Electrical Engineering.
- Final City and Guilds or it’s equivalent plus National Technical Certificate.
- NCE credit in Technical Education plus ‘O’ Level credit passes in Physics or Mathematics
Four Direct Entry routes are listed. Two A Level passes in Physics and Mathematics, an ND at lower credit in named engineering fields, a City and Guilds Final with a National Technical Certificate, or an NCE credit in Technical Education.
The ND route is notable because lower credit is accepted, which is a softer grade bar than most departments set.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA accepts City and Guilds Final with Technical Teachers Certificate(TTC), Advanced National Technical Certificate and ND in a relevant program, and the ‘O’ Level certificate.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTMINNA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.

The University’s Vision is to become a world-class, leading university in Nigeria known for its capacity building and service delivery excellence. The university has achieved this vision through its focus on technological education.
Reading the FUTMINNA Industrial Education Technology Waivers Correctly
The waivers pull in two directions. At O Level the FUTMINNA line is stricter than the general one, requiring English Language, Mathematics, Physics and two sciences. On the JAMB form it is more generous, allowing Economics, Geography or an Arts subject.
Technical qualifications carry real weight here, from City and Guilds through to an NCE in Technical Education. Check which Direct Entry route fits your certificate, or clear 180 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
