The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) sets its own minimum UTME score each admission cycle before it opens post-UTME screening. Here’s what’s confirmed for the 2026/2027 session, and what to check before you apply.
UNIPORT cut-off mark at a glance
- Reported 2026/2027 UTME cut-off for post-UTME screening: 160.
- UNIPORT had not published an official departmental cut-off list at the time of writing.
- Departmental (course-level) cut-offs are typically higher than the general screening mark, especially for competitive courses.
- The national minimum set by JAMB for university admission in 2026 is 150 — UNIPORT’s 160 sits above that floor.
What we know for 2026/2027
Multiple admissions guides report UNIPORT’s post-UTME screening cut-off for the 2026/2027 session at 160, with a screening registration closing date reported around 29 May 2026. UNIPORT has not released an official, complete departmental cut-off list for this session in the sources available — course-level figures (Medicine, Law, Mass Communication, etc.) vary by competitiveness and are set separately from the general screening mark.
What to do next
- Confirm you scored at least the general cut-off (160, or whatever UNIPORT’s current notice states) and chose UNIPORT as your institution in JAMB’s CAPS.
- Check UNIPORT’s official admissions portal for your specific department’s cut-off — this is usually published alongside the post-UTME screening announcement.
- Register for post-UTME screening before the stated deadline; missing it generally disqualifies you regardless of your JAMB score.
