The Fed Poly Mubi cut off mark for Hospitality Management is 100 in the UTME, which is JAMB’s national minimum for polytechnics for 2026/2027. The Federal Polytechnic, Mubi has not published a separate cut-off for ND Hospitality Management, and I found no departmental figure for earlier years either.
2027/2028 update: Fed Poly Mubi 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 are based on JAMB’s 2026 national minimum for polytechnics, because Fed Poly Mubi has not published its own course cut-offs. If the 2027/2028 notice changes anything, we will update this page.
Many candidates treat Hospitality Management as an arts course, but its JAMB line is science-based: Biology or Agricultural Science is fixed, and Chemistry is a compulsory O’level credit. Clearing 100 only makes you eligible. It is on JAMB’s course list for Fed Poly Mubi, but it was not in the visible part of the 2026/2027 notice reprint, which is cut off early in the engineering list before the science courses would appear. Confirm with the admissions office that it is admitting. This page covers the figures, a safe target, the subjects, screening and CAPS.

Do not mix this school up with the Federal University of Agriculture, Mubi (FUAM). They are two separate federal institutions in the same town. The polytechnic awards the ND and HND and uses the 100 polytechnic minimum; the university awards degrees and follows the 150 university minimum. On your JAMB profile, Fed Poly Mubi is listed as Federal Polytechnic, Mubi (MUBIPOLY on the Myschool reprint of JAMB’s course list).
Fed Poly Mubi Hospitality Management cut-off history
| Session | Figure | What it is | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/2027 | 100 | JAMB national minimum for polytechnics and monotechnics | Official (NAN, 11 May 2026) |
| 2025/2026 | 100 | JAMB national minimum for polytechnics | Official (reported by Nairametrics, 8 July 2025) |
| Any year | None | Fed Poly Mubi cut-off for Hospitality Management specifically | Never published in any source I found |
JAMB kept the polytechnic minimum at 100 in both 2025 and 2026. Fed Poly Mubi may admit above that line for some courses, but it has not announced a figure for Hospitality Management. If a website quotes an exact “Fed Poly Mubi Hospitality Management cut-off” such as 140 or 160, ask where it came from.
Safe target score for Hospitality Management at Fed Poly Mubi (my advice)
This table is my judgement as an admissions adviser. It is not a Fed Poly Mubi rule, and the polytechnic has not published merit lists with scores.
| Your UTME score | My read for ND Hospitality Management at Fed Poly Mubi |
|---|---|
| Below 100 | Not eligible for any ND course this session |
| 100 to 119 | Eligible. For a smaller course this may be enough, but no admission data has been published to prove it |
| 120 to 139 | Reasonable |
| 140 and above | Strong for this course, in my view |
For the 2027 UTME I would aim for at least 135, with credits in English, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.
Catchment and state of origin
Fed Poly Mubi is a federal polytechnic in Adamawa State, but it has not published a catchment list or a quota split for 2026/2027. It admits candidates from across Nigeria. I would not count on a state-of-origin advantage unless the polytechnic’s own notice mentions one.
Fed Poly Mubi Hospitality Management subject combination and O’level requirements
| Requirement | ND Hospitality Management |
|---|---|
| UTME subjects | Use of English, Biology/Agricultural Science and two of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Economics |
| O’level | Five credits in Biology/Agricultural Science, Mathematics and any three of Geography, Food and Nutrition, Economics, Technical Drawing, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Nigerian Language, Home Economics. Credits in English Language and Chemistry are compulsory. |
| Fed Poly Mubi remark in the brochure | None. Remarks on the page cover polytechnics such as IMT-ENU, NEKEDEPOLY, BAUCHIPOLY and YABATECH. |
| Exams accepted | WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and GCE are the usual ones; Fed Poly Mubi has not published its own list for this course |
| Sittings | Not stated by Fed Poly Mubi; two sittings is the common polytechnic limit |
| Interview or practical | None published |
Biology or Agricultural Science is fixed in the UTME. I would add Chemistry and Economics: Chemistry because it is a compulsory O’level credit, and Economics because the management side of the course uses it.
At O’level, the fixed credits are Biology or Agric, Mathematics, English and Chemistry. Food and Nutrition or Home Economics are the most relevant fifth credits.
Direct Entry and the HND route
There is no Direct Entry into the first year of an ND. ND Hospitality Management admission goes through the UTME and CAPS. After the ND and industrial attachment, you can apply directly to the polytechnic for HND Hospitality Management, which is on the blog list of Fed Poly Mubi HND courses.
For details of the HND form, see our Fed Poly Mubi HND admission requirements guide. The HND course list there comes from a blog, so check it on the portal.
How Fed Poly Mubi screening works
Fed Poly Mubi has not put its 2026/2027 screening details in any source I could reach. Its website at fpmubieportal.edu.ng has an Admission Portal link, and two reprints of the session’s notices exist, but neither gives a fee, a date or a test format. Here is what is known.
| Detail | What is known | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2026/2027 ND/HND admission notice | Announced; reprint lists programmes by school but is cut off in the engineering list | Myschool reprint, 8 August 2026 |
| Post-UTME form for ND full time | Released for 2026/2027 | AbsTechConnect, 12 August 2026 (blog) |
| Who can apply | The blog says candidates who did not choose the polytechnic can still apply | Unofficial; you would still need a change of institution before CAPS can admit you |
| Minimum UTME score | 100 | JAMB rule |
| Screening fee | Not published | Unknown |
| Screening date and format | Not published | Unknown |
| Aggregate formula | Not published | Unknown |
Because the polytechnic has not said how it ranks applicants, the safest plan is a UTME score well above 100 and a clean O’level record on CAPS.
Worked example for an ND Hospitality Management applicant
Fed Poly Mubi has not published an aggregate formula, so start by measuring the gap between your score, the 100 minimum and a safe target. Take Joy, who scored 129.
- Eligibility: 129 minus 100 = 29. Joy is above JAMB’s minimum for polytechnics.
- Against my safe target: Joy is 6 points below my 135 target, so a strong screening performance and clean O’level results matter more.
- Subject check: she wrote Biology, Chemistry and Economics with English, which matches the brochure line.
- O’level check: credits in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Food and Nutrition, uploaded to CAPS.
Many Nigerian polytechnics rank candidates by a mix of UTME score and screening score. To show how such a mix works, take the UTME score divided by 8 (out of 50) plus a screening score out of 50. Joy’s 129 gives 16.12, and a screening score of 30 out of 50 would give 46.12 out of 100. A candidate with 110 and the same screening score would have 43.75. This formula is an illustration only. Fed Poly Mubi has not published one.
Your chances of getting Hospitality Management at Fed Poly Mubi
- In my view Hospitality Management draws fewer applicants than the business courses, so a score in the 120s or 130s can be competitive.
- Candidates without a Chemistry credit are the ones who usually fall short.
- Confirm the course is admitting, since it was not in the visible part of the 2026/2027 notice.
- Polytechnics usually keep admitting until JAMB’s deadline. For the 2026/2027 session JAMB set 31 December 2026 for polytechnics, so keep checking CAPS until then.
If you are offered Leisure and Tourism Management or Food Technology instead, both overlap with hotel and catering work.
How to apply for Hospitality Management at Fed Poly Mubi, step by step
- Get your JAMB profile code: text NIN, a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 from the phone line linked to your NIN.
- Register the UTME correctly: choose Hospitality Management and register Use of English, Biology/Agricultural Science and two of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Economics. Pick Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, not the Federal University of Agriculture, Mubi.
- Fix your choice if needed: if Fed Poly Mubi was not your choice, do a JAMB change of institution before screening. To move into this course from another one, see JAMB change of course.
- Upload your O’level to CAPS: do this at a JAMB accredited centre. JAMB cannot offer you admission while CAPS shows no O’level result.
- Fill the screening form: open the Admission Portal link on fpmubieportal.edu.ng, pay only through the invoice the portal generates, complete the form and print every slip it gives you.
- Attend screening if called: take your UTME result slip, O’level results and the portal printouts.
- Accept on CAPS: log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, open Check Admission Status, then Access my CAPS, and accept the offer. Our JAMB CAPS guide explains each status.
- Pay acceptance and clear: Fed Poly Mubi has not published its acceptance fee in any official source I reached. Pay only through a portal invoice in your name, then complete clearance.
Warning
Admission into Fed Poly Mubi comes through JAMB CAPS. If anyone offers you a “special list” slot or a “direct admission” for money, walk away. A genuine offer appears on your CAPS page, and genuine school payments go through a portal invoice in your name.
If you still need to sit the UTME, read when JAMB 2027 registration starts, and when results come out, see how to check your JAMB result. For the UTME papers, our JAMB Biology syllabus and JAMB Chemistry syllabus guides list the topics.
Studying Hospitality Management at Fed Poly Mubi
ND Hospitality Management trains staff for hotels, restaurants, catering and event services: food production, front office, housekeeping and management. JAMB lists it for Fed Poly Mubi; the polytechnic has not published which school runs it.

Duration and accreditation
Under the standard NBTE structure, the ND runs for two years full time. Students who want the HND then do a one-year industrial attachment (SIWES or IT) before applying, and the HND usually asks for an ND at Lower Credit or above. Fed Poly Mubi has not published a course timetable, so treat this as the national pattern.
Fed Poly Mubi is a federal polytechnic regulated by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). I could not confirm the current NBTE accreditation status of ND Hospitality Management itself. Ask the department, or check the NBTE’s list of accredited programmes, before you pay school fees.
Careers after the ND
- Hotel front office, housekeeping or restaurant supervisor
- Catering and event services
- Running a restaurant, canteen or catering business
- HND Hospitality Management

Mistakes that cost Hospitality Management applicants a place at Fed Poly Mubi
- Treating 100 as a safe score: it is the minimum to apply, not a promise of admission.
- Treating it as an arts course: Biology or Agric is compulsory in the UTME and Chemistry at O’level.
- No English credit: the brochure makes it compulsory.
- Choosing the wrong Mubi institution: the polytechnic and the Federal University of Agriculture, Mubi are separate choices on JAMB.
- O’level missing on CAPS: JAMB cannot process your admission without it.
- Accepting on CAPS and stopping there: acceptance fee payment and clearance at the polytechnic are separate steps.

Sources and updates
The 100 minimum for polytechnics and the 31 December 2026 admission deadline come from the News Agency of Nigeria report of JAMB’s 2026 policy meeting (11 May 2026). The 2025 figure of 100 is from Nairametrics (8 July 2025) and matching Blueprint and AllAfrica reports. The course list is from the Myschool reprint of JAMB’s Federal Polytechnic, Mubi course list and the 2026/2027 ND/HND admission notice reprinted by Myschool on 8 August 2026, which is cut off after the first engineering course. The UTME and O’level requirements are from JAMB’s polytechnic brochure as reprinted by Myschool (Hospitality Management brochure page), which has no Fed Poly Mubi remark. The 2026/2027 post-UTME form report is from AbsTechConnect (12 August 2026) and is unofficial. The polytechnic’s history (founded in 1979, moved from Yola to Mubi in 1982) is from Wikipedia, and the separation from the Federal University of Agriculture, Mubi is from Leadership’s report on the 2023 approval of that university. The safe target scores and the worked example are my own advice. Checked on 3 November 2026; this page will be updated when Fed Poly Mubi publishes its 2027/2028 notice.
