UNICAL Post UTME Average Score Calculation
Remember when I mentioned that the post UTME is 400 marks. Your post UTME score plus your JAMB score and the sum is divided by 2 to get your average.
Applicants with scores above the UNICAL cut-off will get merit admission for their course.
UNICAL Admission Requirements
Yes, your O’level results are also a requirement. You must have at least a credit in your five (5) core subjects for the course you applied (Mathematics and English inclusive).
Also, ensure your O’level results are on the JAMB CAPS portal.
UNICAL Admission Quota
UNICAL admission quota is the total number of students a university can admit per session based on their capacity.
A university is not allowed to admit above the quota assigned to them by Nigerian University Commission (NUC).
After a school has exceeded their admission quota, no other person will get admission even if they scored high.
This system also applies to all departments at the University of Calabar.
UNICAL Admission Policy
The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has policies to follow when admitting new UTME and direct entry students.
One of the policies is 45% Merit, 35% catchment, and 20% Educationally Less developed (ELDs).
Another is the ratio of Science to Arts students from 60 to 40. That means out of the total number of students admitted in a particular academic session, 60% are from the Sciences, and the remaining 40% are Art Students.
Every university has to follow the admission policy set up for them by the NUC.
UNICAL Subject Combination
Every course/department in UNICAL has a subject combination that every admission seeker has.
Failure to use the right combination will cost you your admission. So you must be sure of the subject combination of the course you want to study in UNICAl.
UNICAL Departmental Cut Off Mark
You all must be familiar with this. Here high JAMB score/aggregate doesn’t matter.
Departmental cut off is different from general cut off.
You might score above the UNICAL general cut off, but if you do not get up to the departmental cut off, you will not get the merit admission.
