The Ibom Metropolitan Poly cut off mark for Tourism Management 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 Tourism Management 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”. Tourism Management Technology is on JAMB’s course list for the school (as “Tourism Management Technology”), and its line in NBTE’s 2025 Directory reads: Interim approval (2024), expired 1 October 2026; renewal not confirmed.
Ibom Metropolitan Poly Tourism Management Technology cut off mark at a glance
| Item | Position | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum UTME score | 100 | JAMB’s national minimum for polytechnics, 2026/2027 |
| Ibom Metropolitan Poly figure for Tourism Management Technology | Not published | No school or departmental figure found |
| UTME subjects | Use of English and three others (JAMB brochure page for this course loaded empty; see note) | See the subject section |
| O’level | Five credits including English Language and Mathematics, plus course subjects | Details below |
| On JAMB’s course list for the school | Yes, as “Tourism Management Technology” | Confirm on CAPS or the e-brochure |
| NBTE status (2025 Directory) | Interim approval (2024), expired 1 October 2026; renewal not confirmed | NBTE 25th Edition Directory |
| Duration | Two years full-time plus SIWES | Standard NBTE pattern |
| JAMB deadline for 2026/2027 polytechnic admissions | 31 December 2026 | Official (JAMB, reported by NAN) |
The NBTE line matters here. Tourism Management Technology had interim approval from 2024 that expired on 1 October 2026, and I found no notice of renewal or full accreditation. The course is still on JAMB’s list for the school, but ask Ibom Metropolitan for proof of current NBTE status before you register for it.
Ibom Metropolitan Poly cut off mark for Tourism Management 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 Tourism Management 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 110 or more in the UTME for Tourism Management 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 110 you can still apply, and your O’level grades and screening will carry more weight.
Ibom Metropolitan Poly Tourism Management Technology subject combination and O’level requirements
| Requirement | ND Tourism Management Technology |
|---|---|
| UTME subjects | Use of English and three others (JAMB brochure page for this course loaded empty; see note) |
| My suggested UTME combination | English, Mathematics, Geography and Economics |
| O’level (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB) | Five credits including English Language and Mathematics, plus two from Geography, Economics or Commerce, History, Marketing, Civic Education, Government, Accounting and Tourism Studies, and one from Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Food and Nutrition (Federal Polytechnic Ilaro’s Leisure and Tourism rule) |
| 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 |
Myschool’s reprint of JAMB’s polytechnic brochure has a page for Tourism Management Technology, but the requirement sections were empty when I checked on 3 November 2026. The closely related Leisure and Tourism Management page prints Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics as its base line, then lists remarks for named polytechnics that mostly accept Mathematics, Geography and Economics instead: YABATECH takes Mathematics and any two from a long list that includes Geography and Economics, and Federal Polytechnic Ede asks for Geography and Economics.
Until you see the line for this school on JAMB’s e-brochure, I would register with English, Mathematics, Geography and Economics. That fits most of the remarks. If the e-brochure shows the science base line with no remark, switch your combination before registration closes.
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 apply for HND in a tourism or hospitality option, or move into hospitality and tourism degrees where a university accepts ND holders. NBTE does not list an HND in tourism at the school.
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 Tourism Management 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 Aniebiet, who wants Tourism Management Technology at Ibom Metropolitan Poly. Aniebiet scored 112 in English, Mathematics, Geography and Economics, and has English, Mathematics, Geography, Economics, Biology and Government in one WAEC sitting.
- JAMB minimum: 112 is 12 above 100, so Aniebiet is eligible.
- My safe target: 112 clears my 110 line for Tourism Management Technology.
- UTME subjects: Mathematics, Geography and Economics fit most remarks on the related Leisure and Tourism page. He should still confirm the line on the e-brochure.
- O’level: English and Mathematics are credits, Geography and Economics are the two social subjects, and Biology is the science.
- School listing: before paying for anything, Aniebiet checks that Ibom Metropolitan Poly shows Tourism Management Technology on the JAMB portal.
If the school used a 50:50 aggregate, 112 divided by 8 gives 14 out of 50, and 30 out of 50 at screening would bring the total to 44. 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 Tourism Management 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, Geography and Economics, 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 Tourism Management Technology under Ibom Metropolitan when you register, which removes the biggest risk with small private polytechnics.
- Get the NBTE position in writing before you pay acceptance; the 2025 Directory line for this course does not show current full accreditation.
- 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 Tourism Management Technology
ND Tourism Management Technology takes two years with a SIWES placement. You learn how travel, tours, attractions and events are planned, sold and run. Akwa Ibom has the Ibeno beach and a good number of hotels around Uyo and Eket, which helps when you look for a placement.
| Area | Typical topics |
|---|---|
| Tourism principles | Introduction to tourism, tourism geography, Nigerian tourist attractions |
| Travel operations | Travel agency and tour operations, ticketing basics, tour guiding |
| Hospitality links | Front office, food and beverage basics, event management |
| Business side | Tourism marketing, entrepreneurship, accounting basics |
| Supporting courses | Communication, a foreign language introduction, computer applications |
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 travel agency staff, tour guide, hotel front office or guest relations, events and conference assistant, or airline and airport ground staff.
Accreditation
NBTE’s 25th Edition Directory of Accredited Programmes (2025) lists ND Tourism Management Technology at Ibom Metropolitan Polytechnic as: Interim approval (2024), expired 1 October 2026; renewal not confirmed. The school says on its website that it received NBTE accreditation in 2021 and held its first matriculation on 22 April 2022. NBTE does not list an HND in tourism at the school.

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.
