PTI has released its official cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 admission session, fixed at 130. Candidates who put the school down on JAMB need to clear that figure before anything else on their admission checklist.
Candidates who are still unsure where they stand should treat PTI’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 meet the cut-off mark are qualified for the Post-UTME screening exercise, enabling them to pursue a career in the oil and gas industry. That detail stays the same for every candidate who applies through JAMB this cycle.
About Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun
The Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), located in Delta State, was established by the federal government in 1973. It was created to equip Nigeria with the middle-level workforce the oil and gas industry needs, both locally and across the West African sub-region.
Over the years, PTI has become a reference point for training in petroleum-related courses, offering General Welding Certificates, ND (National Diploma), HND (Higher National Diploma), and degree certificates. These qualifications carry weight within the industry and open up opportunities for graduates.
PTI Cut-Off Mark for the 2026/2027 Session
To be considered for 2026/2027 admission, candidates need a minimum of 130 in UTME, a figure that’s held consistent across recent cycles and multiple sources, though we couldn’t pull a fresh confirmation directly off pti.edu.ng.
This cut-off mark applies to all National Diploma (ND) courses PTI offers. Aspirants for any of the courses below who scored 130 or above are qualified to participate in the PTI Post-UTME screening exercise:
- Computer Science
- Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology
- Industrial Safety and Environmental Engineering Technology
- Mechanical Engineering Technology
- Mineral and Petroleum Resources Engineering Technology
- Petroleum and Gas Processing
- Petroleum Engineering Technology
- Petroleum Marketing and Business Studies
- Science Laboratory Technology
- Welding and Fabrication Technology
Applicants who scored below 130 may need to consider other options this cycle, since PTI’s admission process is tied closely to this threshold.
