UI Engineering Post-UTME Guide — Preparation & Cut-Off Marks

The University of Ibadan Faculty of Technology offers several engineering programs:

• •Civil Engineering
• •Electrical & Electronics Engineering
• •Mechanical Engineering
• •Petroleum Engineering
• •Industrial & Production Engineering
• •Food Technology
• •Agricultural & Environmental Engineering

Competitiveness varies by department. In 2025, Mechanical Engineering had a cut-off of 70.5. Petroleum and Electrical Engineering are typically among the most competitive.

Engineering candidates should prioritize Physics and Mathematics in their Post-UTME preparation. These subjects form the foundation of all engineering programs.

Physics priorities: Mechanics (forces, motion, energy), electricity & circuits, waves, and modern physics.

Chemistry priorities: Physical chemistry (gas laws, equilibrium), electrochemistry, and organic chemistry basics.

Practice calculation-heavy questions on StudyBond — Engineering Post-UTME questions tend to be more computation-intensive than other courses.

With Mechanical Engineering's 2025 cut-off at 70.5:

If JAMB = 320: 320/8 = 40. You need Post-UTME of at least (70.5 - 40) × 2 = 61 — achievable with solid preparation. If JAMB = 280: 280/8 = 35. You need Post-UTME of at least (70.5 - 35) × 2 = 71 — requires focused practice.

The Post-UTME carries equal weight to JAMB in the aggregate formula. Practice with real past questions on StudyBond — focus on Physics and Chemistry calculation questions, as these are where most Engineering candidates lose points.
