Conclusion
Gaining admission to the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) requires careful planning and meeting specific academic requirements.
Prospective students must choose courses that align with their interests and career goals, ensuring they possess the necessary subject combinations in their Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) and JAMB.
Meeting the departmental cut-off mark and fulfilling other admission requirements are crucial steps in the selection process.
What can I use 149 to study in futo
Chioma,
The previous cut-off mark for FUTO is 150. If the score is maintained, it means you’re not eligible to apply for the Post UTME.
My advice for you is to apply to a State University where you will stand a better chance for admission.
Let me know if you have further questions.
