This article is aimed at giving you an insight on the procedure for admission into the University of Port Harcourt and how to calculate your total score so as to know if you stand a chance.
The university of Port Harcourt offers admission based on the average of both your JAMB UTME and the Post UTME you just sat for. The scores of the Post UTME was graded using a scale of 0 to 100. while your JAMB UTME score uses a scale of 0 to 400.
So to calculate your average which is what the university is considering to offer admission, you have to multiply your post UTME score by 4 and add it to your JAMB score and divide all by 2. that is [(Post UTME x 4) + JAMB Score]/4.
Now having calculated your average score, it is now time for you to compare your score with the probable score for the different faculties and see if you actually stand a chance. Below are the probable Uniport Post UTME cut off marks for various faculties
College of Health Sciences – between 200 – 250
College of Engineering – between 200 – 230
College of Natural and Applied Sciences – between 180 – 220
Faculty of Agriculture – between 160 – 200
Faculty of Education – between 160 – 200
Faculty of Humanities – between 180 – 220
Faculty of Management Sciences – between 200 – 220
Faculty of Social Sciences – between 180 – 220
NB: these probable cut of marks are not the official cut off marks of the various departments and faculties. But just an idea of what their cut off marks look like judging from past experiences. So there can be an upward or downward shift of +/_ 20.
And again, the cut off marks are different for different states according to their level of Educational development and Catchment areas. That is to say that a candidate from an Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS) stands a better chance of getting admission compared to candidates from non ELDS states.
Please do not listen to people who tell tales of having the ability and the connection to offer you admission as they all are fraudsters waiting for a chance to rob you of your hard earned money. Admission is strictly by merit. Goodluck.
