FULAFIA Civil Engineering Cut Off Mark 2026/2027 — the JAMB and departmental cut-off marks for Civil Engineering at Federal University Lafia (FULAFIA), Nasarawa State, and what they mean for your admission chances. Updated September 2026.
FULAFIA General JAMB Cut-Off Mark 2026/2027
For the 2026/2027 academic session, FULAFIA’s general JAMB cut-off mark is 170. This is the minimum UTME score required before you’re eligible to apply for the university’s Post-UTME screening — meeting it only qualifies you for consideration, it doesn’t guarantee a course placement.
- Baseline eligibility: 170 and above in the 2026 UTME.
- First-choice institution: FULAFIA must be your first choice on your JAMB profile.
FULAFIA Civil Engineering Departmental Cut-Off Mark
FULAFIA publishes departmental cut-off marks after the general UTME threshold, and these differ significantly by course — competitive programmes like Medicine, Nursing, and the Engineering disciplines consistently sit well above the 170 baseline (Nursing, for example, has required 200 and above in recent cycles). FULAFIA has not published a clearly itemised Civil Engineering-specific figure in publicly available sources for 2026/2027, so avoid relying on any specific number you see quoted elsewhere without confirming it directly.
- General 2026/2027 baseline: 170.
- Pattern across recent cycles: Engineering programmes are consistently set well above the general baseline, in line with Medicine, Nursing, and other high-demand courses.
- Where to confirm: FULAFIA’s official cut-off mark release (published via the university and its verified channels) after each screening cycle.
How FULAFIA Calculates Your Aggregate Score
FULAFIA combines your UTME and Post-UTME performance into an aggregate score using roughly this formula:
- UTME score ÷ 8
- Post-UTME score ÷ 2
- The two results are added together to give your aggregate
Departmental cut-offs quoted for FULAFIA sometimes refer to this aggregate rather than a raw UTME score, which is part of why figures you’ll see for different courses can look inconsistent across sources. Always check whether a quoted number is a raw UTME score or an aggregate before comparing it to your own.
Where Things Stand as of September 2026
FULAFIA’s 2026/2027 Post-UTME/Direct Entry screening ran from 6 July to 30 August 2026. That window has closed. If you registered, check your status on the FULAFIA portal and JAMB CAPS — provisional admission lists are typically released in batches over the following months. If you missed this cycle, the same process reopens for 2027/2028.

FAQs: FULAFIA Civil Engineering Cut-Off Mark 2026/2027
What is the FULAFIA Civil Engineering cut-off mark for 2026/2027?
The general baseline is 170. Civil Engineering’s specific departmental figure hasn’t been clearly published for this cycle — expect it to sit well above 170, in line with other Engineering programmes.
Is 170 enough for Civil Engineering?
It’s the minimum to be eligible for screening, not a competitive score for this particular course. Aim higher.
Does FULAFIA use aggregate scores or raw UTME scores for departmental cut-offs?
Both are referenced depending on the source — FULAFIA’s own aggregate formula combines UTME and Post-UTME scores, so confirm which figure any quoted cut-off refers to.
Does FULAFIA accept second-choice candidates?
Only first-choice applicants are considered for undergraduate admission.
In short: FULAFIA’s general JAMB cut-off for 2026/2027 is 170, with Civil Engineering’s departmental threshold running higher. Confirm the exact current figure via FULAFIA’s official cut-off release and JAMB CAPS.
