1. Uniport General & UTME Cut Off Mark
To be eligible for Uniport’s Post‑UTME screening, candidates must first meet the general UTME cut‑off mark. Here’s the breakdown:
- General JAMB cut‑off for Uniport 2025/2026: 160 and above
- Some sources list differing minimums like 140 or 150—but the university’s approved mark is firmly 160
That means a score of 160+ makes you eligible for departmental screening—but the actual admission threshold varies by course.
2. Departmental Cut Off Mark for All Courses

3. How Uniport Calculates Your Aggregate Score
The departmental cut‑off is based on your aggregate score, typically weighted as follows:
- JAMB (UTME) Score – e.g. 160–250
- Post‑UTME Score – usually out of 100
The formula is commonly:
Aggregate = (UTME + Post‑UTME) ÷ 2
For example: UTME 200 + Post‑UTME 200 = Total 400 ⇒ Aggregate = 200
Some faculties or departments may slightly tweak scoring weightings, but this formula provides a reliable benchmark.
4. Tips to Meet Your Target
- Aim High: To get Medicine (cut‑off 250+), aim for UTME 220+ and at least 80 in Post‑UTME.
- Apply a Safety Margin: For competitive courses, targeting 20–30 points above the published cut‑off improves admission chances.
- O’Level Scores Matter: You still need at least 5 ‘credit’ passes in relevant subject combination.
- Apply Early: Register for Post‑UTME screening as soon as forms are out to avoid system delays.
