Abstract
This study was carried out to assess correlation between utme, postutme and student academic performance in university of port harcourt.
The study adopted descriptive survey research design in which two hundred students admitted between 2008/2009 and 2012/2013 academic sessions in eight selected Departments drawn across two out of the four Colleges in the University constituted the sample. Secondary data obtained from the Academic Affairs Office of the University was used to analyse the hypotheses that guided the study using Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient and ttest statistic at 0.05 level of significance. The result indicated that there is a significant correlation between students‟ results in post UTME screening test and student academic performance; there is significant difference between students‟ UME scores and their post UTME screening test scores and there is a statistically significant difference between the academic performance of male and female students of University of Portharcourt students admitted through post UTME screening test. Given the fact that the study established that post-UTME has helped to expose the inadequacies of students that wrote UTME, the study concluded that each University should take the issue of post-UME screening test with all the seriousness and attention it deserved as same will further encourage hard working and intelligent student to continue to work hard knowing that their efforts will ultimately be crowned with a brilliant performance in the Post-UME which would guarantee them a place in the University.
