The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has officially announced details for its 2025/2026 Post-UTME screening exercise. If you’re an aspiring student looking to join this prestigious institution, here’s a clear and simple guide to help you understand the cut-off mark, eligibility criteria, and how to register. This information is vital for students, parents, and guardians preparing for the admission process.
Cut-Off Mark for UNIPORT Post-UTME 2025
To be eligible for the UNIPORT Post-UTME screening, you must have scored 150 and above in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This is the minimum JAMB score required to qualify for the screening. However, note that some courses may have higher departmental cut-off marks, which will be determined after the Post-UTME screening. So, aim to perform well in both your JAMB and Post-UTME to boost your chances of admission.
Who Can Apply? Eligibility Criteria
Not everyone who wrote JAMB can apply for UNIPORT’s Post-UTME. Here are the requirements you must meet:
- First Choice Institution: You must have chosen UNIPORT as your first choice when registering for the 2025 JAMB UTME or Direct Entry.
- Minimum JAMB Score: You need a score of 150 or higher in the 2025 UTME.
- O’Level Results: You must have at least five (5) O’Level credits, including Mathematics and English Language, in not more than two sittings. These credits must be from WAEC, NECO, or other recognized examination bodies.
- Correct Subject Combination: Your UTME subject combination must match the requirements for the course you’re applying for. For example, if you’re applying for Medicine, you need to have written subjects like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in your UTME.
- Change of Institution (if applicable): If you didn’t initially choose UNIPORT as your first choice but now want to apply, you must visit a JAMB CBT centre to change your institution to UNIPORT before registering for the Post-UTME.

How UNIPORT Calculates Your Aggregate Score
Your admission into UNIPORT depends on your aggregate score, which combines your JAMB and Post-UTME scores. Here’s how it’s calculated:
- Add your JAMB score to your Post-UTME score.
- Divide the total by 2 to get your average (aggregate) score.
For example, if you scored 200 in JAMB and 180 in the Post-UTME, your aggregate score would be:
(200 + 180) ÷ 2 = 190.
A higher aggregate score increases your chances of admission, especially for competitive courses like Medicine, Law, or Engineering.
Tips for Success
- Prepare Well: Study past Post-UTME questions and revise your JAMB subjects to perform well in the screening.
- Verify Your Details: Ensure your JAMB registration number, O’Level results, and other details are correct to avoid disqualification.
- Meet the Deadline: Complete your registration before August 15, 2025, to avoid missing out.
- Stay Updated: Regularly visit https://www.uniport.edu.ng or https://utmedetails.uniport.edu.ng for the latest information on the screening exercise.
