The management of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has officially announced the commencement of its Post-UTME and Direct Entry (DE) screening exercise for candidates seeking admission into the institution for the 2026/2027 academic session. In a formal statement issued by the University Registrar, Dr. (Mrs.) Chukwuka Icha, the registration server channels are officially active for qualified candidates nationwide to submit their data configurations.
While previous registration cycles relied heavily on physical scratch cards and paper-based stress, UNICAL has completely modernized its system tracks. Indeed, the screening process has been fully digitized, eliminating the use of e-transact and scratch card PINs in favor of an online integrated payment and registration framework. Therefore, candidates must follow the strict structural timeline laid out below to protect their profiles from immediate system exclusion.
Official 2026/2027 Application Timeline
Because admission portals run on strict automated schedules, candidates must complete their submissions before the system locks down:
- Portal Commencement Date: Monday, June 1, 2026
- Portal Closure Deadline: Friday, July 31, 2026
Statutory Entry and Eligibility Requirements
To successfully access the screening database, prospective applicants must fully satisfy the following institutional baselines:
- Official UTME Cut-Off Mark: Candidates must have scored a minimum of 150 in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
- The First-Choice Rule: Applications are open to candidates who selected UNICAL as their first-choice institution. If you did not initially choose UNICAL but wish to study at the university, you are fully eligible to apply provided you execute a JAMB Change of Institution via an accredited CBT center before the July deadline.
- Medicine & Surgery O’Level Policy: In strict alignment with the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) policy, candidates seeking admission into Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) must present O’Level results obtained in one single sitting.
- Data Integrity Protocol: The Registrar explicitly warns that any false declarations regarding UTME scores, O’Level result grades, or state of origin will attract immediate, automatic disqualification from the admission process.
Step-by-Step Portal Application Instructions
The administrative screening processing fee carries a statutory, non-refundable cost of ₦2,000. Candidates are advised to provide completely valid email addresses and active telephone numbers during registration, as the university will not be responsible for unsuccessful applications resulting from incorrect contact parameters.
Complete your application 100% safely online using the following verified system steps:
- Access the Undergraduate Server: Open your internet browser and navigate directly to the official university portal at myunical.edu.ng.
- Validate Your Credentials: Click on the Post-UTME screening link to initialize your application session and input your active 2026 JAMB Registration Number.
- Process Payment Remittance: Make your secure, non-refundable ₦2,000 screening fee payment directly through the approved online channels, which include ATM cards, bank transfers, or mobile USSD services.
- Populate the Application Form: Complete the online biometric and biodata fields with accurate data configurations.
- Upload & Print: Input your exact O’Level parameters, double-check all text entries for accuracy, click final submit, and print out your completed UNICAL Post-UTME Screening Slip.
