Courses Offered at Federal University of Technology, Ikot Abasi
Federal University of Technology, Ikot Abasi (FUTIA) is a Federal university located in Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom, established in 2021. It offers the 17 programmes listed below. The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ FUTIA is a REAL federal university, but being new (established 2021) makes it a target for scammers. Apply only via the official portal at portal.futia.edu.ng and the main site futia.edu.ng — beware look-alike domains such as futia.ng and other unofficial .com/.org copies, plus Facebook/WhatsApp "admission officers" demanding payment to personal accounts or offering forms off-portal. FUTIA never guarantees admission through agents; the only legitimate route is JAMB UTME plus the official FUTIA portal.

Entry Requirements
You need five (5) O'level credit passes including English Language and Mathematics (plus relevant subjects for your chosen programme) at SSCE/WAEC/NECO/NABTEB. Sit JAMB UTME (minimum 150) and make FUTIA your first choice — candidates must be at least 16 by 30 September 2026. For the 2026/2027 cycle, FUTIA's own Post-UTME/DE notice sets a 160 UTME score as the eligibility threshold for screening; this is not a guarantee of admission, so confirm the current cycle's figure on the official portal. Direct Entry (A-level/ND/NCE) candidates who chose FUTIA first are also eligible. Upload your O'level results to JAMB CAPS before the school's stated deadline (31 August 2026), and note that subject combinations vary by programme — check the official JAMB brochure and the FUTIA portal for your course.
FUTIA JAMB Cut-off Mark (2026/2027)
The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150. This is the lowest score to be considered; the college also runs its own entrance examination, and departments frequently set higher cut-offs, so always confirm the current mark for your course with the school.
How to Apply
Register and sit the JAMB UTME, selecting Federal University of Technology, Ikot Abasi (FUTIA) as your first choice (or change your first choice on JAMB CAPS if you meet the score). When the FUTIA Post-UTME/DE window opens, apply only through the official portal at portal.futia.edu.ng — register, fill in your details, and pay any official screening fee directly on the portal with your own ATM card. Upload your O'level results to JAMB CAPS before the stated deadline, print your confirmation slip, and monitor the portal and JAMB CAPS for the admission list.
Stay safe: FUTIA does not sell admission through agents — never pay an agent or a personal account; pay only through the official portal.
