Maduka University Mechatronics Engineering Cut-Off Mark 2027/2028 and Admission Requirements

The Maduka University Mechatronics Engineering cut off mark is 150 in the UTME. That is the minimum Maduka set for every programme in its 2026/2027 admission notice, as reprinted by Myschool on 15 May 2026, and it equals JAMB’s national minimum for universities. Maduka has not published a separate, higher cut-off for Mechatronics.

2027/2028 update: Maduka University cut-off marks usually stay the same from one year to the next, so the figures on this page are what 2027/2028 candidates should plan with. They come from the latest official notice (2026/2027). If the 2027/2028 notice changes anything, we will update this page.

Mechatronics Engineering is a five-year B.Eng. in Maduka’s College of Engineering at Ekwegbe, on the Enugu to Nsukka road. It is on the university’s 2026 course list and on its JAMB course list as “Mechatronics Engineering”. One thing to check before you pay: I could not confirm NUC or COREN accreditation for it yet (details below). Here you will find the official figures, a safe target score (my advice), the exact UTME and O’level subjects, Direct Entry, fees and the CAPS steps.

Maduka University Mechatronics Engineering cut-off mark at a glance

Maduka Mechatronics Engineering cut-off history

Maduka has used one minimum, 150, for every programme in both sessions it has advertised to UTME candidates so far. Its name is not on the list of institution cut-offs that News Central TV published after JAMB’s 2026 policy meeting, and Maduka’s own website could not be reached when I checked, so the 150 comes through Myschool’s copy of the admission notice. Some blogs say Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Law “may require” more. None of them says that about engineering.

Safe target score for Mechatronics Engineering at Maduka (my advice)

These bands are my judgement as an admissions adviser. Maduka has not published them.

For the 2027 UTME I would aim for at least 180. Maduka’s minimum is low compared with what public universities ask for engineering, and the real test at Maduka is whether your subjects are right and whether you can pay. A score near 200 gives you a choice: you can keep Maduka and still be in the running for a state or federal university if you change your mind.

UTME subject combination and O’level for Mechatronics Engineering at Maduka

Mechatronics follows the standard engineering set in JAMB: English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Biology does not replace Chemistry for Maduka, because the only schools allowed Biology or Geography as the third science are named in remarks, and Maduka is not one of them.

At O’level the fifth science is your choice. If you sat Further Mathematics or Technical Drawing, use it: both fit a course that mixes mechanical design, electronics and programming, and they make your result look stronger to an engineering department.

Direct Entry into Mechatronics Engineering

JAMB’s core Direct Entry line for Mechatronics is A’level passes in any two of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The remarks add routes for other schools, such as ND or HND upper credit in Mechanical, Computer or Electrical Engineering at Bells, but none of them names Maduka.

Maduka’s 2026/2027 notice, as reprinted by Myschool, invites UTME, Direct Entry and inter-university transfer applicants, and it also advertises a two-semester IJMB programme. Maduka has not published the level at which its own IJMB students or ND holders join engineering, so get that answer from Admissions before you pay. Direct Entry candidates still register with JAMB and are admitted through CAPS.

Does Maduka write Post-UTME for Mechatronics Engineering?

No Maduka notice or report I found describes a Post-UTME test, a screening fee separate from the form, or an aggregate formula. What the reports describe is an online application: create a profile, upload your UTME and O’level results, pick a programme, pay for the form and print the slip. Maduka then decides on the file and sends the offer through JAMB CAPS. If the portal asks you to sit a test or attend an interview, follow it, because the university’s own instructions take priority over anything on this page.

Worked example (illustrative)

Maduka has not published an aggregate, so this example checks eligibility and the money needed before resumption. The fees are the 2026/2027 figures from Maduka’s fee list as reprinted by The Vent Republic.

• Candidate: Somtochukwu scored 174 with English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. He has credits in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Technical Drawing from one sitting.
• Score check: 174 minus 150 = 24. He clears Maduka’s minimum by 24 marks.
• UTME check: all four subjects match the brochure’s core line.
• O’level check: English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are there, and Technical Drawing counts as the fifth science-type subject.
• Money before resumption (2026/2027 figures): ₦5,000 form + ₦50,000 acceptance + ₦900,000 session fee = ₦955,000.

Compare Adanna, who scored 201 with English, Mathematics, Physics and Biology. Her score is higher, but Biology in place of Chemistry does not fit the core line for Mechatronics, and Maduka has no remark that allows it. She should ask Admissions at once; the practical fixes are a change of course on CAPS to a programme that takes her subjects, or registering Chemistry in the next UTME.

Maduka Mechatronics Engineering school fees and other charges

For 2026/2027, Maduka’s fee list as reprinted by The Vent Republic puts Mechatronics Engineering, with the other Computing and Engineering programmes, at ₦900,000 a session, up from the ₦690,000 AndroidPols reported for 2025/2026. The same list gives Medicine and Surgery at ₦4,210,000, which matches Myschool’s copy of the notice. You can pay in two instalments of 60% and 40%. Confirm the figure with the Bursary before you pay, because the 2027/2028 fee may be higher.

For timing, JAMB set 30 November 2026 as the 2026/2027 admission deadline for private universities, a group that includes Maduka, at its policy meeting of 11 May 2026 (reported by the News Agency of Nigeria). The 2027/2028 dates will come from JAMB’s next policy meeting. Private universities fill places on a rolling basis, so apply as soon as the portal opens.

Your chances of getting Mechatronics Engineering at Maduka

Maduka does not publish applicant numbers or admissions per course. From how private universities in the South East usually fill engineering places, a candidate with 150 or more, the right four UTME subjects, the five O’level credits and the means to pay normally stands a fair chance. That is my reading of the market, not a Maduka statistic.

Mechatronics is a newer and more specialised course than Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, and fewer Nigerian universities run it, so a seat at Maduka is worth something if this is the field you want. If you are torn, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Maduka take the same UTME subjects, so a change of course between them on CAPS is simple.

How to apply for Mechatronics Engineering at Maduka, step by step

1. Get your JAMB profile code: send NIN, a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 from the phone line linked to your NIN.
2. Register Maduka and the right course: pick Maduka University and the course listed as “Mechatronics Engineering”, with Use of English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. If you picked another school as first choice, do a JAMB change of institution before Maduka can offer you a place, and use a JAMB change of course if you registered the wrong course.
3. Upload your O’level to CAPS: any accredited JAMB CBT centre can do it. Check that the upload shows credits in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and your fifth science.
4. Fill Maduka’s online application: on madukauniversity.edu.ng, create a profile, enter your UTME details, upload your O’level, choose the programme, pay the form fee (reported as ₦5,000) and print the slip. These steps are as reported by AndroidPols; follow the portal if it differs.
5. Watch CAPS: log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, open Check Admission Status, then Access my CAPS. Accept only an offer that shows Maduka University and Mechatronics Engineering. Our JAMB CAPS guide explains each status.
6. Pay acceptance and the first fees: the acceptance fee is reported as ₦50,000 and is not refundable. Pay only through the channel on Maduka’s portal and keep every receipt.
7. Clear at Ekwegbe: bring your O’level result, JAMB result slip and admission letter, birth certificate, local government identification, NIN slip, passport photographs and payment receipts. Maduka has not published its own list, so take originals and photocopies of all of them.

Studying Mechatronics Engineering at Maduka University

Mechatronics Engineering sits in Maduka’s College of Engineering alongside Civil, Mechanical, Computer and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Teezab, July 2026). Maduka has not published the duration; a B.Eng. in Nigeria normally takes five years for UTME entrants. Maduka is a private university founded by Dr Samuel Maduka Onyishi, licensed by NUC in 2023, and its first session began on 23 November 2023.

I found no NUC accreditation result and no COREN accreditation record for Mechatronics Engineering at Maduka. NUC’s accreditation exercise of October to December 2025 covered seven Maduka programmes (Accounting, Mass Communication, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Economics and International Relations), and all seven got full accreditation, according to a university press release carried by Premium Times and AllAfrica on 29 July 2026. No engineering course was on that list. For background, NUC let Maduka begin teaching in 2023, Nairametrics reported that NUC recognised 19 programmes at its October 2023 visit, and the engineering courses have been on Maduka’s lists since then. Programmes are normally accredited once students reach the later years, and Maduka’s first students only started in November 2023. Still, treat the status as not confirmed and ask Admissions for it in writing before you pay.

What you study

• First years: mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering drawing, workshop practice and computer programming, shared with the other engineering courses.
• Mechanical side: mechanics of machines, materials, thermodynamics and machine design.
• Electrical side: circuit theory, analogue and digital electronics, electrical machines and power electronics.
• Control and computing: control systems, sensors and actuators, microcontrollers and embedded programming.
• Applied areas: robotics, automation, PLCs and industrial instrumentation.
• Later years: industrial training (SIWES) and a final-year design project, often a working machine or robot.

Careers

Mechatronics graduates work in factory automation and maintenance, manufacturing and bottling plants, oil and gas instrumentation, robotics start-ups, automotive service and diagnostics, and embedded systems design. Registration as an engineer is through COREN after graduation and experience, which is one more reason to ask about the programme’s accreditation before you accept.

Mistakes that cost Mechatronics Engineering applicants a Maduka place

• Biology in place of Chemistry: the brochure’s core line needs Chemistry, and Maduka has no exception.
• Only four science credits: you need a fifth science (Further Mathematics, Technical Drawing, Biology or Agricultural Science).
• Maduka not first choice: fix it with a JAMB change of institution before the admission window closes.
• Not asking about accreditation: get the programme’s NUC status from Admissions before you pay acceptance.
• Paying an agent: offers come only through CAPS and the university portal.

Sources and updates

The 150 minimum for 2026/2027, the routes (UTME, Direct Entry, transfer), the IJMB programme, the statement that approved fees cover tuition and accommodation, and the ₦4,210,000 Medicine fee come from Maduka’s Post-UTME/DE notice as reprinted by Myschool on 15 May 2026; ABS TechConnect (24 May 2026) also reports 150 and the ₦5,000 form. The 2026/2027 session fee of ₦900,000 for Computing and Engineering programmes, the ₦50,000 acceptance fee and the 60/40 instalment plan come from Maduka’s fee list as reprinted by The Vent Republic on 14 May 2026. The 2025/2026 minimum, the 2025/2026 fee of ₦690,000 (given for comparison), feeding and the application steps come from AndroidPols (16 November 2025). Maduka’s current course list, with Mechatronics Engineering under its College of Engineering, comes from Teezab (16 July 2026), and the course name “Mechatronics Engineering” from the Maduka list on universitycourses.ng (updated March 2026); Maduka’s own website and its course list on Myschool could not be opened, so confirm the name on your JAMB profile. The UTME, O’level and Direct Entry lines come from JAMB’s brochure entry for Mechatronics Engineering as reprinted by Myschool (checked 30 October 2026), which carries no remark for Maduka. The national minimum of 150 and the 30 November 2026 deadline for private universities come from JAMB’s policy meeting of 11 May 2026, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria. The seven programmes with full NUC accreditation come from a Maduka press release carried by Premium Times and AllAfrica (29 July 2026); NUC’s take-off visit is from Nairametrics and TheCable (20 July 2024). I found no NUC report page or COREN record for engineering at Maduka. Safe target scores, the odds discussion and the worked example are my advice, not Maduka figures. This page will be updated when Maduka publishes its 2027/2028 notice, a departmental cut-off, a new fee list or an accreditation result for Mechatronics Engineering.

Jude Chinecherem

I am Jude Chinecherem, a final-year MBBS student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I know what it feels like to want an education your family cannot afford. When my parents could not pay for my schooling, I had to learn how to find scholarships and work the system out on my own, with nobody to guide me. I came out the other side, and now I share everything I learned so the next student does not have to figure it out alone. This is the advice I wish someone had given me back then.
