Frequently Asked Questions

• How is the cut-off mark for Dentistry and Dental Surgery at UNIPORT determined?
  The cut-off mark is set by the university in consultation with JAMB, based on factors such as the number of applicants, available slots, and the overall performance of candidates in the UTME. It is not fixed and may change each year.
• Where can I check the official current-year cut-off mark for UNIPORT Dentistry?
  The official cut-off mark is published on the JAMB CAPS portal and the University of Port Harcourt admission website. Always verify from these sources as any third-party figures may be outdated.
• What happens if I score below the cut-off mark for Dentistry and Dental Surgery?
  Candidates who score below the cut-off will not be considered for admission into the programme. They may consider changing their course to a less competitive one or reapplying the following year after improving their UTME score.

Always confirm the exact cut-off mark for the current admission cycle on the official JAMB CAPS portal or the University of Port Harcourt website. Meeting the cut-off does not guarantee admission, as other criteria like O’Level grades and post-UTME screening also apply.
