The cut-off mark NICT has fixed for 2026/2027 stands at 150. Candidates below that line will not proceed to the next stage, no matter how strong the rest of their application looks.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat NICT’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.

Candidates who desire to get admitted into the NICT must meet a certain criterion first: meeting the cut-off mark to study the course of their choice. Skipping or rushing this part of the process is one of the more common reasons admission gets delayed.
Requirements for getting into this school include meeting the needed cut-off mark for the school and the course or department itself. This step applies equally whether a candidate is applying from within the state or outside it.
NICT cut-off mark is 150 to qualify for admission in 2026/2027 for all courses, and NICT accepts and screens both first and second-choice candidates in their Post UTME That detail stays the same for every candidate who applies through JAMB this cycle.
Once you have met the requirement for the cut-off mark, you can proceed to the rest admission requirements into the desired course. Nothing about that changes based on a candidate’s course of interest.
