The University of Ibadan (UI) has published the official admission cut-off marks for its 2026/2027 undergraduate engineering programmes, with Electrical and Electronics Engineering recording the highest merit threshold at 71.25. The scores, released for 10 programmes under the Faculty of Technology, are categorised into Merit, Catchment, and ELDS (Educationally Less Developed States), according to a report by Legit.ng.
Engineering Cut-Off Marks Breakdown
Electrical and Electronics Engineering leads with a merit and catchment score of 71.25, followed by Mechanical Engineering at 70.00 and Biomedical Engineering at 68.00. Civil Engineering sits at 65.875, while Petroleum Engineering is set at 65.00. Agricultural and Environmental Engineering is listed at 57.5 across both merit and catchment categories.
At the lower end, Wood Products Engineering has the lowest threshold at 50.00 across all three categories. Food Technology is set at 50.125, and Industrial and Production Engineering stands at 51.25, also uniform across merit, catchment, and ELDS slots.
ELDS Reductions for Certain Programmes
For candidates applying under the ELDS category, several programmes offer reduced score requirements. Mechanical Engineering drops from 70.00 to 65.875, Petroleum Engineering falls from 65.00 to 58.5, and Electrical and Electronics Engineering comes down to 54.25. Civil Engineering records the sharpest ELDS reduction, falling from a merit score of 65.875 to 51.75.
Biomedical Engineering and Wood Products Engineering maintain uniform scores across all three categories, meaning no score advantage is available to ELDS applicants for those programmes. Prospective students are encouraged to review the full breakdown of cut-off marks on the University of Ibadan's official admissions portal to confirm eligibility before applying.
In related news, Legit.ng previously reported that UI also released 2026/2027 admission cut-off marks for Law, Pharmacy, and Medicine and Surgery, covering merit, catchment areas, and ELDS categories. The university has also published cut-off marks for History, Linguistics, Cybersecurity, Accounting, Economics, Banking, and Finance programmes.
