JAMB General Cut Off Marks for 2026
Setting the benchmark for admission applications is handled by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board. According to JAMB, a candidate will only be approved to apply for admission into any given university if their score is up to 140 in their UTME, application into Polytechnics and Colleges of Education if their score has exceeded or equals 100.
However, these are just the general benchmarks. Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education often require more than the general benchmark from their prospective Land Surveying & Geoinformatics students.

Polytechnics Offering Land Surveying & Geoinformatics
Polytechnics can also be an option to studying Land Surveying & Geoinformatics for students with low JAMB score such as 120, 150, since the benchmark for Polytechnics is 100. Some polytechnics offering Land Surveying & Geoinformatics include:
- Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH): 150
- Federal Polytechnic, Nekede: 140
- Kaduna Polytechnic: 120

Factors Affecting Admission for Land Surveying & Geoinformatics
- A high JAMB Score as you have known already, improves admission chances.
- Post UTME Performance is required by some universities.
- O’Level Results improve your chances as well. You need at least five credits in relevant subjects (Maths, English, Physics, Geography, and one other science/technical subject).
- Catchment Area is another factor, as some universities prioritize students from specific states.
- Federal institutions may have a quota system reserving slots for indigenous students.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the JAMB cut off mark for Land Surveying & Geoinformatics in 2026/2027?
The general JAMB cut off mark for universities is 140, but most institutions offering Land Surveying & Geoinformatics require 180 or higher for admission.
Can I gain admission to study Land Surveying & Geoinformatics with a JAMB score of 140?
It depends on the institution. While JAMB’s minimum benchmark is 140, most universities require at least 180 or above. If your score is below 180, consider polytechnics or less competitive universities.
What is the cut off mark for polytechnics offering Land Surveying & Geoinformatics?
For polytechnics, the minimum JAMB score is generally 100, but some institutions set their cut off at 120 to 150, depending on competition and policies.
Do private universities have lower cut off marks for Land Surveying & Geoinformatics?
Yes, private universities generally accept lower cut off marks. Some, like Babcock University and Bells University of Technology, accept 180, while Covenant University may require 200 or above.
Does JAMB set the final cut off mark for Land Surveying & Geoinformatics?
No, JAMB only sets the minimum cut off mark (140 for universities). Each institution determines its specific cut off, which is often higher.
Is Post UTME required for admission into Land Surveying & Geoinformatics programs?
Yes, many universities require Post UTME as part of their admission process. Your performance in the screening can determine whether you get admitted.
What happens if I don’t meet the cut off mark for Land Surveying & Geoinformatics?
If you don’t meet the required cut off; apply for a change of course to a less competitive program, or consider polytechnics or colleges of education with lower cut-off marks. There is also an option to retake JAMB the following year for a better score.
Can I study Land Surveying & Geoinformatics with a lower JAMB score but good O’Level results?
Even if you have excellent O’Level results, you still need to meet the JAMB cut off mark set by your preferred university. Some institutions may accept a lower JAMB score with a strong Post UTME score.
