Courses Offered at Metallurgical Training Institute Onitsha
Metallurgical Training Institute Onitsha (MTI) is a monotechnic located in Onitsha,Anambra State., established in 1981. It offers the 6 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.
⚠ MTI Onitsha is a real Federal Government institute (Ministry of Steel Development, NBTE-regulated), but its online presence is fragmented across the official site, a separate free blog and a Facebook page, plus an application portal hosted on a temporary "anytempurl.com" address — a setup scammers can easily copy. Do NOT pay any "application fee" into a personal bank account or to a WhatsApp "admissions agent". Genuine payment goes only through the bank remittal/TSA reference on the official form — confirm it by phone first. No agent can guarantee admission; passing MTI's own entrance exam is compulsory.
Programmes Offered at MTI 6
- Industrial Electrical Engineering
- Instrumentation & Control Systems Engineering
- Mechanical Maintenance Engineering
- Heavy Mobile Equipment Maintenance Engineering
- Steel Fabrication & Welding Engineering
- Industrial Metallurgy & Foundry Engineering
Entry Requirements
MTI Onitsha runs 3-year Diploma/National Diploma programmes (80% practical, 20% theory). You need five (5) O'level credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and one other science subject (SSCE/GCE/NECO or equivalent); WAEC Technical, NABTEB or NTC passes in related trades are also accepted. All applicants must sit and pass MTI's own Admission Examination (English, Mathematics, General Paper) at the Onitsha campus. Whether a given intake also requires JAMB UTME (minimum 150) can vary by session — confirm directly with the Institute before applying.
MTI 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
1) Get the official application form directly from MTI — sale typically opens the first week of May each year. Forms/enquiries: the permanent site (km 6/7 Onitsha-Owerri Road, P.M.B. 1555, Onitsha) or the Abuja Liaison Office (Plot 4 Niamey Street, Zone 2, Wuse). 2) Pay the prescribed fee ONLY through the official bank remittal/TSA channel stated on the form/receipt. 3) Submit the completed form with four passport photos, photocopies of certificates, two self-addressed envelopes and proof of payment. 4) Sit the Institute's Admission Examination on the scheduled date at the Onitsha campus. An online application form is also referenced on the official site (mti.org.ng) but is currently hosted on a temporary third-party link — do not treat that alone as proof of legitimacy; verify the current portal link and account details by phone before you pay anything.
Stay safe: MTI's online presence is scattered across an official site, a separate free blog and a Facebook page — easy for scammers to imitate. Confirm the current form price, portal link and payment account by calling the Institute BEFORE paying, and never pay an agent or a personal account — pay only through the channel the official form specifies.
