FUPRE Admission Warning

The Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, Delta State, has issued a warning to parents, guardians, and prospective students about individuals who demand money under false pretenses, claiming it's required to secure admission into the University.

Admission Process Integrity

In a recent bulletin dated Thursday, August 13, 2026, the University revealed that it has received reports of attempts by unscrupulous individuals to exploit the ongoing 2026/2027 admission exercise. The University stresses that no staff member, agent, or intermediary is authorized to solicit or receive money, manipulate, or improperly influence the University's approved admission process.

Clarification on Cut-Off Marks

The University also clarified that the recently released cut-off marks represent the merit cut-off for the current phase of the 2026/2027 admission exercise. It should not be regarded as the final basis for admission throughout the exercise. Admission will continue through subsequent phases, subject to approved admission criteria, relevant regulatory guidelines, and available spaces.

Reassurance to Prospective Students

FUPRE reassures prospective students who chose the University, scored 160 and above in the UTME, participated in the Post-UTME exercise, and met the relevant requirements that they still have a strong prospect of securing admission. This depends on available spaces and the approved admission criteria. The University's official admission information confirms the 160 UTME threshold for the 2026/2027 screening exercise.

Guidance for Parents and Candidates

Parents, guardians, and candidates are advised to rely solely on official University information and approved admission channels. Any demand for money or claim to influence admission should be treated with caution and promptly reported to the University through the following contacts:
