The Department of Maritime Management Technology at the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) has published its entry requirements, covering O’level credits, the JAMB subject combination, the direct entry route and the JAMB score needed to reach the screening stage.
Maritime Management Technology sits on the science side of the FUTO curriculum, so the subject list leans on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The fifth O’level credit is where candidates have a measure of choice, and the list below shows which subjects qualify.
Direct entry applicants work from a different set of conditions. Read that section closely if you hold an A level result, an OND or an HND rather than a UTME score.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Maritime Management Technology include Five SSCE credits in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry and any one subject from below:
- Biology
- Economics or Geography in not more than two sittings.
Note the two sitting limit at the close of that list. It applies to the full set of five credits, not only to the optional fifth subject, so a candidate who needs three attempts to complete the combination falls outside the requirement.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
All four papers are fixed. There is no optional slot in the UTME combination for this department, unlike the O’level list, so registering another subject in place of Physics or Chemistry will cost you the application.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Maritime Management Technology if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require:
- Two ‘A’ level passes in Mathematics, Physics/Chemistry, Economics, and Upper credit OD/HND in Maritime Technology Engineering.
Applicants on this route still need the O’level credits set out above. Direct entry replaces the UTME requirement, it does not replace the secondary school subject conditions.

JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted to the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 160 or above in your JAMB result.
That 160 is the threshold for screening rather than a guarantee of a place. Competitive departments at FUTO regularly admit well above the figure, so treat it as the minimum needed to stay in contention.
