MAUSTECH has confirmed 150 as its cut-off mark for 2026/2027 admissions. That is the baseline JAMB uses to screen candidates who selected the institution, and it applies before any departmental requirement.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat MAUSTECH’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.
What’s Actually Confirmed
JAMB’s 2026 policy meeting set the national minimum cut-off mark for university admission at 150 for the 2026/2027 cycle. That’s the floor every university in Nigeria, including MAUSTECH, must sit at or above. It doesn’t tell you MAUSTECH’s own departmental benchmark, universities routinely set theirs higher for competitive courses.
We checked multiple sources for MAUSTECH’s specific post-UTME cut-off and got conflicting figures, some citing 150, others 160, and older pages (including a previous version of this one) citing 180. None of this changes depending on how strong the rest of a candidate’s application looks.
None of these were corroborated by MAUSTECH’s own admissions office or a JAMB-published institutional list, so rather than pick one and present it as fact, we’re flagging it as unconfirmed. Nothing about that changes based on a candidate’s course of interest.
What we’d recommend: if you scored 150 or above and made MAUSTECH your first choice, you’re within the range worth checking the admissions portal for. Candidates with at least 5 credit passes, including Mathematics and English, in one sitting, remain the standard O’Level requirement.
We’ll update this page with the confirmed departmental cut-off mark as soon as MAUSTECH or JAMB publishes one for 2026/2027.

What the 150 Mark at MAUSTECH Actually Means
MAUSTECH uses its cut-off mark to set the floor for consideration, not the ceiling for admission. Everything after that point still matters.
That is the part most candidates underestimate until it is too late to fix. MAUSTECH candidates should keep that in mind while the rest of the admission process plays out.
