YES. As as the time of updating this page, the University of Calabar (UNICAL) Cut-Off Marks for 2024/2025 Academic Session has been released.
UNICAL Departmental Cut-Off Mark
UNICAL departmental cut-off mark is usually different from their JAMB cut-off mark. The departmental cut-off mark is the final mark that will determine a candidate’s admission.
For years now, UNICAL has not made its departmental merit/ELDS/Catchment cutoff mark public.
If we should judge with previous years, then we will be right to say the UNICAL departmental cut-off mark for the 2024/2025 session will not be made public. But if they do make it public, we will update this page as soon as possible.
