We are delighted to announce that the official JAMB cut-off mark for Electrical/Electronics Engineering, following the 2026/2027 academic cycle, is now out. Candidates interested in registering for the course for the forthcoming Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) should know the cut off mark to fully anticipate the forthcoming admission process.
JAMB Cut Off Mark for Electrical / Electronics Engineering 2026
With the minimum cut-off mark for all tertiary institution courses being out, including that of Electrical/Electronics Engineering, take a look at what different universities are accepting as their cut-off marks:
| Federal Universities | 200 – 250 |
| State Universities | 180 – 220 |
| Private Universities | 160 – 200 |
By default, it is natural that a higher score will secure your admission; hence, instead of aiming to meet the score listed above, aim to score even higher to enhance your chances of being admitted.
