The University of Calabar has published the admission requirements for its Department of Chemical Engineering, covering the O’level credits, the UTME subject combination, the direct entry route and the JAMB score the university applies.
Chemical Engineering runs on the same three sciences throughout. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics appear in the O’level list, in the UTME combination and in the direct entry condition without variation.
The only open place anywhere is the fifth O’level credit, which can be any other science subject. Nothing else in the subject conditions offers a choice.
The direct entry condition is correspondingly strict, naming all three sciences rather than asking for any two. Each requirement is set out below.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.

About the University of Calabar
The University of Calabar is a federal university in Cross River State, Nigeria’s south-south region. In 1975, the university was established.
The university has a very large student and staff population and a diverse student body. All applicants to the university are accepted, regardless of their cultural or religious background. Additionally, there is no restriction on applicants’ ages.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Chemical Engineering include the following: Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- English Language and any other Science subject
Four credits are named and the fifth is any other science subject. Biology, Agricultural Science and Further Mathematics are the options most candidates have available.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
All four papers are compulsory with no alternative in any slot. The combination cannot be adjusted after registration closes, so check it carefully beforehand.
Direct Entry Requirement For Chemical Engineering
Below is the Direct Entry Requirement for Chemical Engineering:
- ‘A’ level passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
All three subjects are named rather than offered as a choice, which is a demanding condition. The O’level credits above apply to direct entry applicants as well.
JAMB Score
For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Calabar, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.
Cut-off marks are revised from one admission cycle to the next, so confirm this figure directly with UNICAL rather than relying on a score quoted for an earlier session.
Verifying the Numbers for UNICAL Chemical Engineering
On subjects there is little to decide. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are required at every stage, with English Language and one further science credit completing the O’level set.
That leaves the score as the variable, and it is the one element on this page most likely to change between sessions. Check it against the university’s current announcement.
Candidates holding A level passes in all three sciences can apply through direct entry instead, which removes the UTME from the process entirely.
