The JAMB cut-off mark is the minimum UTME score required for a candidate to be considered for admission. Industrial Mathematics is not as competitive as Engineering, but it sits above regular mathematics because of its industry relevance.

For the 2027/2028 academic session, the expected cut-off mark for Industrial Mathematics is:

  1. Federal Universities: 170 – 200
  2. State Universities: 160 – 180
  3. Private Universities: 150 – 170

Universities may adjust these slightly depending on demand and available admission slots.
