KADUNAPOLY JAMB cut-off mark 2026/2027
Two different numbers matter. The national minimum is fixed by JAMB at its annual policy meeting with vice-chancellors, rectors and provosts — for polytechnics it is currently 100. The institutional cut-off is KADUNAPOLY’s own threshold; a polytechnic may adopt the national minimum or raise it, but can never go below it.
Reality check: meeting the cut-off only qualifies you for screening. Admission is decided on your UTME score, O’Level grades, post-UTME/screening score and (for some schools) catchment and ELDS quotas. Aim at least 20–40 marks above the departmental figure for your course.

Frequently asked questions
What is the KADUNAPOLY cut-off mark for 2026/2027?
The national minimum for polytechnics is 100. KADUNAPOLY’s own general cut-off was last published as 120 for ND; 100 for NCE; 180 for degree (2026/2027). Competitive courses require significantly more.
Is 100 enough to get into KADUNAPOLY?
Only if KADUNAPOLY adopts the national minimum and your course is not competitive. For popular courses you should target at least 200; for Medicine, Law, Pharmacy or Nursing, 250 and above.
Does KADUNAPOLY accept 100 or below?
No. No polytechnic may admit below JAMB’s national minimum of 100 for polytechnics. If you scored below it, consider the JAMB CAPS Marketplace or a different institution type with a lower minimum.
Is the departmental cut-off the same as the JAMB cut-off?
No. The JAMB (general) cut-off is the minimum to be considered at all. The departmental cut-off is the higher score a specific course actually requires after merit ranking and screening.
When does KADUNAPOLY release its cut-off mark each year?
Within weeks of the JAMB policy meeting (held 11 May 2026 for 2026/2027), usually inside the post-UTME/screening advert. For the 2027/2028 session expect it between May and July 2027.
