Cross River University of Technology (UNICROSS) has announced its Post-UTME and Direct Entry screening exercise for the 2025/2026 academic session. This guide gives you the essentials—cut-off marks, who qualifies, registration process, and tips to enhance your chance of admission.
🎯 Cut-Off Mark & Departmental Benchmark
- The general UTME cut-off score required is 150 for many courses.
- Competitive programmes (especially in Engineering, Medical Sciences, Environmental Studies, and some Science & Technology courses) may demand significantly higher scores.
✅ Who Is Eligible
To qualify for the screening, candidates must:
- Have UNICROSS as their first-choice institution in the UTME registration, or change to it before screening closes.
- Meet or exceed the UTME cut-off for your course.
- Possess at least five credit passes in relevant O’Level subjects, including English Language and Mathematics, in not more than two sittings.
- For Direct Entry applicants: hold recognized qualifications (ND, NCE, HND, or their equivalents) in the relevant field, with acceptable grades.
📝 How to Apply
Here’s a step-by-step outline:
- Confirm you meet all eligibility conditions: UTME score, O’Level results, and first-choice institution status.
- Complete the registration during the announced screening period.
- Pay the prescribed screening/application fee.
- Fill out the online form with accurate personal, academic, and course-choice information.
- Upload required documents: O’Level result, DE credentials (if applicable), UTME slip, and a recent passport photograph.
- Submit the form, then print or save the acknowledgment slip for your records.
⚠ Important Notes & Tips
- Make sure your O’Level results are uploaded to JAMB CAPS before the deadline; unverified results often lead to disqualifications.
- Double-check your biodata—name spellings, UTME registration number, course code. Errors here are common pitfalls.
- If you’re applying for a highly competitive course, aim for a UTME score well above the minimum to improve your selection chances.
