University of Lagos (UNILAG)
UNILAG Announces Teaching Practice Orientation for 2025/2026

The University of Lagos Faculty of Education will hold its Teaching Practice Orientation on Wednesday, 10th September 2025. Over two thousand students are expected to join the 12-week exercise. Full details of the venue, time, and theme are inside.

The Faculty of Education, University of Lagos (UNILAG), has announced the schedule for its Teaching Practice Orientation Programme for the 2025/2026 academic year.

The event is set for Wednesday, September 10, 2025, starting at 10:00 a.m., and will take place at the Jelili Omotola Multipurpose Hall B on the UNILAG campus.

About the Orientation

This annual gathering is more than a ceremony. It is the point where classroom theory shakes hands with real-world practice. The theme for this year is “The Teaching Profession in the 21st Century: Between Theoretical Studies and Practical Realities.”

It serves as the formal launch for the teaching practice exercise involving final-year (400 level) students of the Faculty of Education.

Number of Participants

This year, the figures are eye-catching. A total of 2,170 student-teachers will step into the programme. Each of them is expected to complete a 12-week exercise that blends observation, classroom management, and actual teaching.

Nnamdi Azikiwe University UNIZIK
How to Calculate Your UNIZIK 2025/2026 Post UTME Screening Score

Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka has released the official formula for calculating admission scores for the 2025/2026 screening. The process combines UTME and O’level grades with a set ratio and bonus marks. Candidates are urged to upload results correctly to both JAMB CAPS and UNIZIK portals.

The management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka has made public the formula it will apply in admitting students for the 2025/2026 academic session. This method will affect Post-UTME, Direct Entry, and other related screenings.

It is an automated system that mixes UTME scores with O’level results in a set ratio, giving everyone a fair shot. But it is also strict, so missing steps may cost an applicant their place.

Key Instructions for Candidates

Applicants are expected to:

  • Upload their O’level results to the JAMB CAPS Portal only at JAMB-accredited CBT centres or offices.
  • Avoid regular cyber cafés, as results from such places may not be recognised.
  • Ensure the same O’level results are uploaded on both JAMB CAPS and the UNIZIK portal.

Skipping any of these could lead to disqualification, so attention to detail matters.

How the UNIZIK Admission Formula Works

The screening pulls data from two areas, UTME scores and O’level grades, then blends them using a ratio.

  • Ratio applied: 70% UTME score and 30% O’level score.
  • Grading of O’level results:
    • A1 = 90
    • B2 = 80
    • B3 = 70
    • C4 = 60
    • C5 = 55
    • C6 = 50
    • D7, E8, F9 = 0
    • Awaiting Result (AR) = 0
  • Subjects considered: Only the same four subjects a candidate sat for in UTME will be scored in O’level.
  • Bonus:
    • One sitting = +10 points
    • Two sittings = no bonus

Formula

Final Score = (UTME score × 0.7) + {(O’level score + Bonus) × 0.3}

Example Calculation

Let’s take a student who scored 285 in UTME with the following O’level grades:

  • English – B3 = 70
  • Biology – A1 = 90
  • Physics – C4 = 60
  • Chemistry – B2 = 80

Total O’level score = 300

  • Single Sitting: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 10) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 93 = 292.5
  • Two Sittings: (285 × 0.7) + {(300 + 0) × 0.3} = 199.5 + 90 = 289.5

The gap between single and two sittings here is just 3 points, but those little points can sometimes tilt the table.

NSUK
NSUK Extends 2025 Post-UTME Application Deadline by Two Weeks

The Management of Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) has announced an extension of the 2025/2026 Post-UTME Screening Exercise deadline.

Originally scheduled to close on Friday, August 29, 2025, the application period will now run until Friday, September 12, 2025.

According to the university, the decision was taken to give room for candidates facing challenges such as change of course or institution, NECO token issues, and other related difficulties to complete their registration.

The university management described the extension as a “gracious gesture” and urged parents, guardians, and prospective students to take full advantage of the additional window.

This extension is seen as part of NSUK’s commitment to ensuring that no qualified candidate misses out on the opportunity to secure admission for the 2025/2026 academic session.

University of Port Harcourt UNIPORT
See UNIPORT Departmental Cut Off Mark for 2025/2026 Session

University of Port Harcourt has fixed the Post UTME cut-off mark for 2025/2026 admission at 120. All candidates should take note of this decision by the Committee of Provost and Deans. Kindly read on for details.

So the wait is over, and the University of Port Harcourt has finally spoken. At its emergency meeting on Thursday, 28th August, 2025, the Committee of Provost and Deans sat, looked at the numbers, and came to a decision that matters to every candidate hoping to gain admission this year.

After weighing the results of the 2025/2026 Post UTME, they agreed on a benchmark. The minimum cut-off mark for this admission round is set at 120. That is the line. If you are above it, you are in the running. If not, then maybe next time.

What This Means For UNIPORT Post UTME Cut-Off Mark

It is quite simple, really.

  • Anyone with a score 120 and above in the Post UTME stands a chance for admission.
  • Candidates below this line are not eligible for placement this session.
  • The decision was reached by the official body, so there is no appeal or backdoor.

Sometimes the figures feel like just numbers, but behind them are students’ hopes, long nights of study, and families waiting on good news. UNIPORT has drawn the line, and all applicants must face it as it stands.
