UNICAL Post-UTME/DE Form 2025: Cut-off mark And Eligibility
University of Calabar (UNICAL) Post-UTME/Direct Entry Screening 2025/2026: What You Must Know
It’s that critical time of the year again! The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has officially kicked off its 2025/2026 Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening process. If you’re aiming for admission—here’s everything you need to navigate the process smoothly.
Cut-Off Mark & Eligibility
- Minimum UTME Score Required: 150
Whether UNICAL was your first choice or not in JAMB, you must have scored at least 150 to be eligible. - First-Choice Candidates: If you listed UNICAL as your first preference and scored 150 or above, you’re eligible straight away.
- Switching Schools? Didn’t pick UNICAL initially? No problem. Change your institution to UNICAL via the JAMB portal and, provided you have 150 or more, you’re good to go.
Registration Timeline & Fees
- Portal Opens: Friday, 18 July 2025.
- New Closing Date: Registration ends at midnight on Monday, 11 August 2025—so don’t wait for the deadline.
- Fee: ₦2,000 non-refundable.
How to Apply: Step-by-Step
- Payment Options:
- Bank (E-transact): Visit a commercial bank, request UNICAL Post-UTME payment, obtain an E-transact PIN.
- Online: Buy a Post-UTME PIN via the UNICAL portal and use the Transaction ID as your PIN.
- Complete the Application:
- Visit myunical.edu.ng, navigate to “UTME Admission Screening.”
- Log in with your JAMB Registration Number and PIN.
- Fill out the form, submit, and print your application summary for future reference.
Screening Process Update: No Aptitude Test
Important: UNICAL has cancelled the traditional Post-UTME aptitude test for the 2025/2026 cycle. Instead, candidates will be assessed using a point tally system based on O’Level results.
- The registration portal has already been closed—meaning applying is no longer an option at this stage.
What to Bring (or Leave at Home)
Even without a physical test, if you’re eventually required to verify credentials or attend any screening-related activity, be prepared:
Bring:
- Your Post-UTME Schedule (if provided).
- Your 2025 UTME Result Slip.
Leave at Home (if ever applicable):
- Calculators, mathematical tables
- Smartphones, smartwatches
- Bags of any kind
These items are prohibited and will be confiscated if found in any UNICAL testing or screening environment.
Avoid Missteps
Accuracy matters:
- False declarations regarding UTME scores, O’Level grades, or state of origin will lead to automatic disqualification.
- O’Level grading matters: your high school results now carry more weight, so ensure they are error-free and verifiable under the new point tally system.
