The Ibom Metropolitan Poly cut off mark for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology is 100 in the UTME, which is JAMB’s national minimum for polytechnics in 2026/2027. Ibom Metropolitan Polytechnic has not published a separate cut-off for ND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology, and I found no departmental figure for any year. The school’s website gives no admission details, so the JAMB floor is the figure to work with.
2027/2028 update: Ibom Metropolitan Poly 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.
Ibom Metropolitan Polytechnic is a private polytechnic founded in 2014 by Dr Victor E. U. Utong. JAMB’s list places it at Atan Offot, Uyo, and the school describes its site as behind the State Secretariat in Uyo, while NBTE’s 2025 Directory heads its entry “Oruk-Anam”. Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology is on JAMB’s course list for the school (as “Electrical / Electronics Engineering Technology”), and its line in NBTE’s 2025 Directory reads: Accredited (first granted 2021; 2023 accreditation, expires 1 October 2028), listed as “Electrical/Electronic Engineering”.

Ibom Metropolitan Poly cut off mark for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology: the figures
| Session | Figure | What it is | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/2027 | 100 | JAMB minimum for polytechnics and monotechnics | Official (JAMB 2026 policy meeting, reported by NAN on 11 May 2026) |
| 2025/2026 | 100 | JAMB minimum for polytechnics | Official (reported by Nairametrics, 8 July 2025) |
| Any year | None | Ibom Metropolitan Poly figure for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology | No published figure found |
JAMB kept the polytechnic floor at 100 for two years running, and Ibom Metropolitan has not announced a higher figure for any course. A polytechnic may set a higher mark for itself or for a busy course, so treat 100 as the legal minimum and aim higher if you can.
Safe target score (my advice)
For 2027 I would aim for 125 or more in the UTME for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology at Ibom Metropolitan Poly. That is my own target, based on how small private polytechnics in Akwa Ibom usually fill their classes; the school publishes no merit list or applicant numbers. If you land between 100 and 125 you can still apply, and your O’level grades and screening will carry more weight.
Ibom Metropolitan Poly Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology subject combination and O’level requirements
| Requirement | ND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology |
|---|---|
| UTME subjects | Use of English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry |
| My suggested UTME combination | English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry |
| O’level (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB) | Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, plus two from Biology or Agricultural Science, Technical Drawing, Basic Electronics or Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics, Metal Work, Woodwork, Further Mathematics, English Language, Geography and Economics or Commerce |
| Sittings | Two sittings at most under the standard NBTE rule; the school has not published its own |
| Ibom Metropolitan Poly remark in the brochure | None found; the base rule applies |
| Interview or practical | None published |
The UTME line is fixed: Use of English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The only brochure remark I have seen on this page lets one Enugu institute accept Biology, and it does not apply here.
At O’level the base rule puts English Language on the optional list for this course. I would still have a credit in it. Almost every Nigerian polytechnic’s general admission rule asks for English and Mathematics, and without English you lose the fallback of switching to another course.
Direct Entry and HND
ND entry is through the UTME; there is no Direct Entry route into ND1. After the ND and industrial attachment you can go for HND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology, usually split into a power and machines option and an electronics and telecommunication option. COREN keeps registers for engineering technicians and technologists. NBTE lists two HND options at the school (Power and Machines; Electronic and Telecommunication), but their interim approval expired on 1 October 2026, so ask about renewal.
Ibom Metropolitan Poly screening and how selection works
Ibom Metropolitan has not published a 2026/2027 screening notice, form price or test format that I could find, and its website carries no admission page. Private polytechnics of its size usually sell forms at the admissions office or on a portal, check documents, and may hold a short test or interview. Ask the office these questions:
- Is ND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology admitting full-time students for 2027/2028, and is it listed for the school on JAMB CAPS?
- What is the current NBTE accreditation status of the course?
- How much is the form, where do I pay, and what is the closing date?
- Is there a written test, and on which subjects?
- What are the acceptance fee and first-year fees, and is there a hostel?
Worked example (illustrative)
Take Ime, who wants Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology at Ibom Metropolitan Poly. Ime scored 127 in English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and has English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Further Mathematics and Agricultural Science over two sittings.
- JAMB minimum: 127 is 27 above 100, so Ime is eligible.
- My safe target: 127 clears my 125 line for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology.
- UTME subjects: The four subjects match the brochure line.
- O’level: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are credits, and English and Further Mathematics complete the five.
- School listing: before paying for anything, Ime checks that Ibom Metropolitan Poly shows Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology on the JAMB portal.
If the school used a 50:50 aggregate, 127 divided by 8 gives 15.88 out of 50, and 30 out of 50 at screening would bring the total to 45.88. That formula is only an illustration. Ibom Metropolitan Poly has not published one, and small private polytechnics often admit every candidate who meets the rules.
How to apply for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology at Ibom Metropolitan Poly, 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 with the right subjects: use English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and choose Ibom Metropolitan Polytechnic, Atan Offot as your polytechnic. If you chose another school, do a JAMB change of institution before screening.
- Upload your O’level result to CAPS: go to an accredited JAMB CBT centre once your WAEC, NECO or NABTEB result is out. CAPS cannot offer you admission without it.
- Contact the school: visit Ibom Metropolitan Polytechnic in Uyo or use the contacts on its website, confirm the course is admitting, and buy the form only from the school. Keep every receipt.
- Attend screening: take your UTME result slip, O’level result, birth certificate or age declaration, local government identification and passport photographs.
- 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 register: get the amounts in writing from the bursary, pay only through the channel the school names, and complete medical and departmental registration.
Warning
Ibom Metropolitan Polytechnic is a different school from Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua. Check the name on your JAMB registration, buy forms only from the school, and remember that JAMB treats any admission outside CAPS as illegal.
Your chances and my advice
- You can pick Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology under Ibom Metropolitan when you register, which removes the biggest risk with small private polytechnics.
- NBTE accreditation runs to 1 October 2028, which covers a two-year ND that starts in 2027/2028.
- The school advertises a City and Guilds affiliation under the slogan “One Polytechnic, Two Qualifications”. Ask what the extra certificate costs and whether it is optional.
- Living in Uyo costs more than in smaller towns, so price rent and transport into your plan if you are not from the city.
- JAMB told polytechnics to finish 2026/2027 admissions by 31 December 2026, so current candidates should keep checking CAPS until then.
What you study in ND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology
ND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology takes two years with a SIWES placement. You learn electrical installation, machines and power, and the electronics behind control and communication equipment. It is one of the most practical NDs, and the skills sell on their own if formal jobs are slow to come.
| Area | Typical topics |
|---|---|
| Electrical principles | Circuit theory, electrical measurement, electrical machines |
| Power | Power generation, transmission and distribution basics, electrical installation |
| Electronics | Electronic devices and circuits, digital electronics, telecommunication basics |
| Workshop | Electrical workshop practice, wiring, maintenance |
| Supporting courses | Engineering mathematics, technical drawing, computer applications, communication |
Ibom Metropolitan Poly has not published its own course outline, so the table follows NBTE’s usual ND pattern. Typical first jobs with the ND include electrical installer, maintenance technician in factories and hotels, solar and inverter installer, technician with an electricity distribution company, or running an installation business.
Accreditation
NBTE’s 25th Edition Directory of Accredited Programmes (2025) lists ND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology at Ibom Metropolitan Polytechnic as: Accredited (first granted 2021; 2023 accreditation, expires 1 October 2028), listed as “Electrical/Electronic Engineering”. The school says on its website that it received NBTE accreditation in 2021 and held its first matriculation on 22 April 2022. NBTE lists two HND options at the school (Power and Machines; Electronic and Telecommunication), but their interim approval expired on 1 October 2026, so ask about renewal.

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.
