Profile
The University of Ibadan (UI) sets a specific cut-off mark for admission into its Mechanical Engineering programme each year. While general historical cut-off marks for competitive courses at UI have ranged between 220 and 250, candidates must verify the exact current year’s figure from official JAMB and university sources. Meeting the cut-off is a key step, but it does not guarantee admission as other factors like O’Level grades and post-UTME performance also matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the cut-off mark for Mechanical Engineering at UI determined?
The cut-off mark is set by the University of Ibadan based on the overall performance of candidates in that year’s UTME, the number of available slots, and the competitiveness of the programme. The national JAMB policy also provides a minimum benchmark, but UI may set a higher departmental cut-off. - Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for Mechanical Engineering at UI?
The official cut-off mark is published on the University of Ibadan’s admissions portal and the JAMB CAPS system. Candidates should regularly visit UI’s website or the JAMB e-facility page for the latest announcements. - What happens if I score below the UI Mechanical Engineering cut-off mark?
Scoring below the cut-off means you are not eligible for admission into that specific programme at UI. You may consider changing your course to a less competitive option within UI, or apply to another university that offers Mechanical Engineering with a lower cut-off.
Always confirm the exact cut-off mark for the current admission year from the official JAMB portal and the University of Ibadan’s website. Remember that meeting the cut-off is just one requirement — ensure you also satisfy all O’Level and post-UTME conditions. Good luck with your application.
