Temple Gate Poly Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology Cut-Off Mark 2027/2028 and Admission Requirements

The Temple Gate Poly Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology cut off mark you can count on is 100 in the UTME, JAMB’s minimum for polytechnics for 2026/2027. Temple Gate Polytechnic, Aba has not published its own mark for the ND in any year I could trace. JAMB lists it for the school as Electrical / Electronics Engineering Technology. Your UTME subjects are fixed: Use of English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

2027/2028 update: Temple Gate 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.

Temple Gate Polytechnic is a private polytechnic at Abayi, Osisioma, on the Aba side of Abia State. NBTE’s 2020 Directory of Accredited Programmes lists it as a private institution at P.O. Box 3448, Aba, with 2009 as the year the government approved it. Myschool’s reprint of JAMB’s course list shows it as Temple-gate Polytechnic with 15 course entries. Check the spelling carefully when you pick it as your institution on the JAMB portal.

Temple Gate Poly Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology cut off mark at a glance

The course appears on JAMB’s list for the school and an o3schools fee list from January 2026, though it is missing from the older schoolings.org list of Temple Gate courses. None of these is an admission notice from the school, so confirm that the department is admitting before you buy a form.

JAMB lists the course as Electrical / Electronics Engineering Technology. Blogs shorten it to EEE or Electrical/Electronic Engineering. It is the same National Diploma.

Electrical/Electronic Engineering cut-off history at Temple Gate Poly

JAMB kept the polytechnic floor at 100 in both 2025 and 2026. Engineering courses at small private polytechnics are rarely crowded, and Temple Gate has never announced a mark above JAMB’s.

Safe target score for Electrical/Electronic Engineering at Temple Gate (my advice)

These bands are my own judgement. Temple Gate publishes no merit lists or applicant numbers.

For 2027 I would aim for 130 or more. A strong Mathematics and Physics score also tells you whether you will cope with the course, which is heavy on calculation from the first semester.

UTME subject combination and O’level for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology at Temple Gate

English Language sits on the optional list in the base rule for this course, and only some polytechnics, such as Imo Poly, Saro-Wiwa Poly and Ibadan Poly, make it compulsory through remarks. Do not read that as permission to skip it. The only published description of Temple Gate’s own rules says every applicant needs credits in English Language and Mathematics, and most HND programmes and employers expect English too. Treat English as compulsory.

The UTME remarks on this page cover IMT Enugu (which accepts Biology), Auchi Poly, SURE-POLY and Bauchi. The O’level remarks cover about twenty other schools, including Imo Poly, Saro-Wiwa Poly, Ogun Poly, Offa, YABATECH, Ibadan Poly, Kaduna Poly, Nekede and Fidei. None of them names Temple Gate, so the base rule applies and Biology is not an accepted UTME subject for you.

Revise from the JAMB syllabus for each subject. Our JAMB Chemistry syllabus guide is a useful start, and Mathematics and Physics need the same steady practice with past questions.

HND after the ND

ND entry is through the UTME; JAMB’s Direct Entry route is for degree programmes. NBTE’s standard path after the ND is a year of industrial attachment, then an HND, usually with at least a Lower Credit. The o3schools post gives an HND fee for this school’s science and engineering departments, but Temple Gate has not confirmed which courses have an HND stream.

How Temple Gate Poly screening works

Temple Gate has not published a 2026/2027 screening notice that I could find, and its website is down. A schoolings.org page on the school, last updated in 2020, gives the only published conditions:

• At least 16 years old in the year of admission.
• Five credits including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
• A UTME score that meets JAMB’s current minimum.
• Internal screening by the polytechnic for those who qualify.

The page does not give dates, fees or the screening format. Ask the admissions office whether there is a written test. If there is, expect SSCE-level Mathematics, Physics and English.

Worked example (illustrative)

Take Tobenna, who scored 126 in English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. His WAEC result has credits in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Basic Electricity from one sitting.

1. JAMB minimum: 126 minus 100 is 26, so he clears the polytechnic floor.
2. My safe target: 130 minus 126 is 4. He is eligible and close to my target.
3. UTME subjects: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, exactly the brochure combination.
4. O’level: the three core sciences are there, plus English and Basic Electricity from the optional list.

As an illustration of how an aggregate could work: 126 divided by 8 is 15.75 out of 50. With 34 out of 50 at screening, he would have 49.75 out of 100. Temple Gate has published no formula, and it may simply admit every eligible applicant who completes the process.

What Temple Gate Poly is reported to charge

Temple Gate has not published a fee schedule I could reach. The only figures online come from an o3schools blog post dated 26 January 2026, which credits a school tuition page I could not open. Treat them as a rough guide and get the current amounts from the bursary in writing.

These amounts look low for a private polytechnic in 2026, and the post does not say which session they belong to, so they may be old. The same post says fees paid are not refundable, which is one more reason to confirm the course is admitting before you pay anything. Engineering students should also budget for workshop tools, a scientific calculator and drawing instruments.

How to apply for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology at Temple Gate Poly, step by step

1. Get your JAMB profile code: text NIN, a space and your 11-digit NIN to 55019 or 66019 from the line linked to your NIN.
2. Register the UTME correctly: choose Electrical / Electronics Engineering Technology with Use of English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and select Temple Gate Polytechnic as your polytechnic. If you already picked another school, use JAMB change of institution before the polytechnic starts screening.
3. 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 match you to the course without it.
4. Buy the Temple Gate form through the school: visit or call the admissions office in Aba, ask for the form price, closing date and screening date, and keep every receipt.
5. Attend screening with your documents: UTME result slip, O’level result, birth certificate or declaration of age, local government identification and passport photographs.
6. Accept the offer on CAPS: log in at efacility.jamb.gov.ng, open Check Admission Status, then Access my CAPS, and accept. Our JAMB CAPS guide explains what each status means.
7. Pay acceptance and register: get the acceptance fee and school fees from the bursary in writing, pay through the channel the school names, then complete medical and departmental registration.

Your chances of admission into Electrical/Electronic Engineering at Temple Gate

• The most common reason science applicants fail is a missing credit in Physics or Chemistry, or a result that is not on CAPS.
• With 120 or more and complete science credits, I would rate your chances as good, provided the department confirms an intake.
• Computer Engineering at Temple Gate uses the same UTME subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry), so it is the easiest switch if this course is not admitting.
• JAMB told polytechnics to finish 2026/2027 admissions by 31 December 2026, so current candidates should check CAPS until then.

What you study in ND Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology

Temple Gate has not published its curriculum, so this is the general content of the ND as most Nigerian polytechnics teach it.

• Electrical circuit theory, electrical and electronic measurements.
• Electrical machines: transformers, motors and generators.
• Power systems: generation, transmission, distribution and protection.
• Analogue and digital electronics, and an introduction to telecommunications.
• Electrical installation, wiring regulations and safety.
• Workshop practice, technical drawing and engineering mathematics.
• SIWES placement with a power distribution company, an electrical contractor, a manufacturer or a telecoms firm.

Duration and accreditation

NBTE’s standard ND takes two years full-time with SIWES built in. Temple Gate has not confirmed its own timetable. NBTE’s 2020 directory lists the school as a private polytechnic approved in 2009, but I could not read the programme-level tables, so this course’s accreditation status at Temple Gate is not confirmed. The course is missing from the schoolings.org list of Temple Gate’s courses, which adds to the reasons to ask. Ask the department for its NBTE accreditation letter before paying tuition. Graduates who later want professional registration as engineering technicians or technologists go through COREN, which looks at where and what you studied.

Careers

• Electrical installation and maintenance technician for buildings, factories and estates
• Technical staff with power distribution companies and electrical contractors
• Solar, inverter and backup power installation
• Electronics repair and instrumentation work
• Further study: HND Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Mistakes Electrical/Electronic Engineering applicants make

• Registering Biology or Further Mathematics in the UTME: the base rule is Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, with no Temple Gate exception.
• Relying on a pass in English: some schools accept it by remark, but Temple Gate is not one of them; get a credit.
• Paying an agent: buy forms only from the school and accept only on CAPS.
• Uploading O’level late: CAPS cannot place you until the result is there.
• Treating CAPS acceptance as the last step: you still pay the acceptance fee and register at the school.

Sources and updates

The 2026/2027 polytechnic minimum of 100, the 31 December 2026 admission deadline and JAMB’s warning against admissions outside CAPS come from JAMB’s 2026 policy meeting as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria on 11 May 2026; the 2025/2026 figure of 100 is from Nairametrics (8 July 2025). The course list is from the Myschool reprint of JAMB’s course list for Temple Gate Polytechnic. The UTME subjects, O’level rules and polytechnic remarks for Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology are from the JAMB polytechnic brochure entry as reprinted by Myschool; no remark on that page names Temple Gate. The address, private ownership and 2009 approval year are from NBTE’s 2020 Directory of Accredited Programmes. The age rule and the general five-credit rule are from a schoolings.org Temple Gate page (last modified September 2020), and the fee figures are from an o3schools post (26 January 2026); both are unofficial. The safe target score and the worked example are my own advice. Checked on 29 October 2026. This page will be updated when Temple Gate publishes a 2027/2028 notice.

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.
