Avoid the highly competitive screening baseline by targeting these safe score margins.
Safe Range
180 - 240
The baseline cutoff mark to apply for the Post-UTME screening is 150. However, competitive programs such as Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Law, and Engineering demand aggregate scores significantly higher than 200.
Use of English, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Five (5) O'Level Credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at not more than two sittings (Note: Highly competitive federal departments frequently enforce a single-sitting rule).
UNIPORT conducts a mandatory physical Computer-Based Test (CBT) Post-UTME screening. Registration is done entirely online via Remita payment of ₦2,000. Candidates must bring only a clear copy of their printed Photo Card and a pen to the screening venue. Electronic gadgets (phones, smartwatches, etc.) and parents/guardians are strictly prohibited on campus during the exercise. Uploading O'Level results to JAMB CAPS is mandatory for admission consideration.
Direct Entry candidates must choose UNIPORT as their first choice and possess an OND/HND with at least Upper Credit, an NCE with Merit, or a minimum of two A-Level/JUPEB passes in relevant subjects. DE applicants must also participate in the university's screening exercise.
The single biggest mistake candidates make when applying for Nursing Science at UNIPORT is assuming that hitting the university's baseline general cut-off mark ensures eligibility for the screening process. Nursing operates inside highly restrictive capacity caps mandated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN). If you score below the hard departmental minimum, your portal choice will face immediate drop filters regardless of aggregate score metrics.
