Hezekiah University, Umudi-Nkwerre, Imo State, is a private university approved by the NUC.
For the 2025/2026 academic session, admission depends on meeting the JAMB UTME cut-off and performing well in the Post-UTME screening.
What is UNIHEZ’s general JAMB UTME cut-off mark for 2025?
The university set a general cut-off mark of 160 in JAMB UTME for all courses for the 2025/2026 session.
This means any candidate who scored 160 or more, and chose UNIHEZ as their first choice, qualifies to register for the Post-UTME.
Is the 160 cut-off the same for all courses at UNIHEZ?
Yes. According to official information, all degree programs have a uniform 160 cut-off.
Whether you’re applying for Computer Science, Economics, Plant Science, Sociology, or Mass Communication, you’ll need at least 160 to be eligible for screening.
Do candidates need higher JAMB scores for popular programs?
UNIHEZ does not impose higher JAMB marks for specific courses.
Even so, competitive programs often admit students with scores above 160, based on strong performance in Post-UTME and O’Level results.
So while 160 remains the baseline, admission typically favors higher scorers.
Can someone score 150 and still register for Post-UTME?
No. Candidates who score 159 or less are not eligible to apply for any degree programme at UNIHEZ using UTME.
The university insists on a minimum score of 160 to access the Post-UTME form.
Is Post-UTME screening required for all candidates scoring 160+?
Yes. Eligible candidates must:
- Visit the UNIHEZ admission portal
- Fill and submit the screening form
- Upload valid O’Level results
- Pay the screening fee through Remita
- Print the Post-UTME slip and write the exam
After screening, selection depends on aggregate scores combining UTME, Post-UTME, and O’Level performance.
What O’Level subjects are needed for admission?
Candidates must have credit passes in at least five (5) subjects, obtained in not more than two sittings. These must include:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Plus at least three other subjects relevant to the chosen course
Subjects must be obtained from recognized bodies: WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB.
Can I apply if UNIHEZ was my second choice?
Yes. Even candidates who listed UNIHEZ as their second choice can apply, as long as they scored 160 or above, and changed their institution to UNIHEZ in the JAMB CAPS interface before the deadline.
Does scoring 160 guarantee admission into your course?
No. Meeting the JAMB cut-off only grants access to the Post-UTME exam, final admission is not guaranteed. Admission depends on your:
- Post-UTME score
- Quality of O’Level results
- Aggregate ranking compared to other candidates
- Course capacity and competitiveness
Popular programs often select students with aggregates well above the minimum, even if all candidates had 160+ in UTME.
