What is the UNICAL Post UTME / Direct Entry Form for 2026/2027?

The UNICAL Post UTME / Direct Entry Form is the screening application for candidates seeking undergraduate admission into the University of Calabar for the 2026/2027 academic session. The notice covers Post UTME / Direct Entry screening, while the listed eligibility categories focus on JAMB UTME candidates.

Candidates must follow the online payment and registration procedure. UNICAL no longer uses E-transact or scratch card PINs for this registration.

Who can apply for UNICAL Post UTME 2026/2027?

UNICAL accepts applications from two categories of JAMB UTME candidates, provided they meet the minimum score rule. The required UTME score is 150.

This means a candidate needs two things: the right JAMB year and the minimum score. The application will not suit candidates below 150.

When will UNICAL Post UTME registration start and end?

UNICAL will open the registration portal on Monday, 1 June 2026. Registration closes on 31 July 2026.

Candidates should treat both dates as fixed guide points for the screening application. Late registration details were not included in the notice.

How much is the UNICAL Post UTME screening fee?

The screening fee is ₦2,000.00 only. The payment is non-refundable.

Candidates must pay through the online portal. The payment options listed by UNICAL include ATM card, bank transfer and USSD through the payment platform.

How can candidates apply on the UNICAL Post UTME portal?

Candidates should complete the registration on the official portal and use accurate personal details. The process follows this order.

1. Visit the UNICAL Post UTME portal.
2. Enter the correct JAMB Registration Number on the home page to verify details and eligibility.
3. Fill out the required registration details after successful verification.
4. Provide a valid email address and an active personal phone number.
5. Pay the ₦2,000.00 screening fee online with an ATM card, bank transfer or USSD through the payment platform.
6. Confirm all entries, click SUBMIT and print the completed registration slip.

Each step matters because the application depends on correct validation, payment and final submission. A candidate should print the slip after successful payment.

What contact details should candidates use?

Candidates should submit a valid email address and a personal phone number. UNICAL states that it will not be responsible for unsuccessful applications caused by invalid email addresses or telephone numbers.

This warning affects every applicant, not just candidates with payment issues. A wrong phone number or email address can make the application fail.

What should Medicine and Surgery applicants know?

UNICAL, in compliance with "CCMAS", does not accept O'Level results at two sittings for Medicine and Surgery. Candidates for Medicine and Surgery must use O'Level results from one sitting.

This rule applies to Medicine and Surgery only, based on the notice. Other programme-specific rules were not listed.

What can cause automatic disqualification?

UNICAL will automatically disqualify candidates who make false declarations. Such candidates will not be considered for admission.

The notice names false declarations in these areas:

• UTME scores
• Ordinary Level result grades, including WAEC, NECO or NABTEB
• State of origin

Candidates should enter details exactly as they appear on their records. The safest route is to check each entry before submission.

What should candidates check before submitting?

Candidates should review the registration page before clicking SUBMIT. This short check can reduce avoidable mistakes.

• JAMB Registration Number
• UTME score
• Email address
• Personal phone number
• O'Level result grades
• State of origin
• Screening payment status
• Completed registration slip

The registration slip provides proof that the candidate completed the process. It should be printed after submission.
