The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has officially announced the cut-off mark for the 2023/2024 academic session. This information is crucial for all candidates who selected UNIPORT as their first choice during the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration. It's essential to pay close attention to the details provided here, as meeting the cut-off mark is a significant step towards securing admission into this prestigious institution.
Every academic year, UNIPORT welcomes applications from aspiring students, and one of the primary criteria for admission is the score obtained in the JAMB examination. For the 2023/2024 academic session, the JAMB Registrar earlier announced that the minimum cut-off mark for tertiary institutions across Nigeria is 140. However, UNIPORT has set its minimum cut-off mark slightly higher, as outlined below.
UNIPORT 2023/2024 Cut-Off Mark
For the 2023/2024 academic session, UNIPORT has set a minimum cut-off mark of 150. This means that candidates must score at least 150 in the JAMB examination to be eligible to apply for the Post UTME/Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise. It's important to understand that achieving the cut-off mark does not guarantee automatic admission. Instead, it qualifies candidates to participate in the screening process, where they will compete with others for available slots.

Candidates applying to these courses are advised to aim for a significantly higher JAMB score, preferably 200 and above, to increase their chances of admission. This recommendation is due to the intense competition for these programs, which necessitates a higher standard for selecting candidates.
