Introduction
The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) has officially released the cut-off marks for the 2025/2026 academic year. If you are planning to apply to AFIT, knowing the required score is an important part of your admission process. This article will guide you through the general and departmental cut-off marks, available courses, and steps to take after meeting the cut-off.
AFIT is a top institution in Nigeria known for offering quality education in engineering, science, and management programs. Every year, it sets cut-off marks to help select students who qualify for its degree and National Diploma (ND) programs. The cut-off marks are determined based on the general performance of candidates in the UTME (JAMB) examination and the number of applicants.
What is a Cut-Off Mark?
A cut-off mark is the minimum score a student must get in the UTME exam to be allowed to apply for admission or participate in the school’s post-UTME screening. It is a standard requirement used by all institutions to select students who are eligible to continue in the admission process. At AFIT, the cut-off mark helps to screen candidates before they are considered for final admission.
AFIT General Cut-Off Marks for 2025
AFIT offers both Bachelor’s Degree programs and National Diploma (ND) programs. The cut-off marks for each type are different.
Degree Programs (B.Sc/B.Eng)
For all Bachelor’s degree programs, the general cut-off mark is 200. This means a candidate must score at least 200 in their UTME examination to be eligible to apply. Besides this score, candidates must also have at least five relevant credit passes in their O’Level results.
National Diploma (ND) Programs
For the ND programs, the cut-off mark is 160. If you scored 160 or more in UTME, you can apply for any of the ND courses offered at AFIT.
It is important to note that while these are the general marks, some departments may require higher scores based on the number of applications and the competitiveness of the course.

Departmental Cut-Off Marks
In some cases, certain courses may require scores higher than the general cut-off mark. For example, courses such as Aerospace Engineering or Cyber Security may have more applicants than available spaces, which leads to a higher cut-off. Applicants are advised to always check the departmental requirements for their chosen program.
Even if you meet the general cut-off mark, admission is not automatic. You must also perform well in the post-UTME screening and meet other requirements such as O’Level grades, subject combinations, and correct documentation.
Steps to Take After Meeting the Cut-Off Mark
If your UTME score meets or exceeds the AFIT cut-off, you should take the following steps:
- Apply for the AFIT Post-UTME Screening through the official portal.
- Ensure all your documents are ready, including your UTME result, O’Level result, birth certificate, and local government identification.
- Complete your application before the deadline.
- Keep checking the AFIT portal regularly for updates on the screening schedule and admission list.
Tips to Help You Reach the Cut-Off Mark

- Start studying early and follow a clear study timetable.
- Focus on the official JAMB syllabus for each subject.
- Practice past UTME questions regularly.
