First Technical University: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
First Technical University (Tech-U) is a State university located in 'Ibadan. Oyo State, established in 2017. It offers the 24 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.
⚠ First Technical University (formerly Abiola Ajimobi Technical University), Ibadan — the two names refer to the SAME Oyo State university, and scammers exploit the name change plus look-alike domains to sell fake "application forms". There is no separate paid form outside JAMB and the official tech-u.edu.ng portal; ignore anyone on WhatsApp, Telegram or a look-alike site promising guaranteed admission or a "cut-off adjustment" fee. Note also that the phone number/address shown in the tech-u.edu.ng homepage footer is a leftover website-template placeholder (an Australian address) — it is NOT a valid contact; use only the details on the official admission pages. The only official domain is tech-u.edu.ng.
