About the University of Calabar

The University of Calabar is a federal university in Cross River State, in the south south region of Nigeria. It was established in 1975.

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.

No Route Into UNICAL Education and French Without French

The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes to include English Language and French. The other three places carry no restriction at all.

The JAMB combination names English Language and French, with two other Arts subjects completing the four papers.

Direct Entry asks for two A level passes or an NCE merit in French and one other Arts subject, keeping French compulsory once again.

Since French is required on every route and no substitute is listed, a candidate who did not sit it at school has no way into this department until they do.

The UNICAL JAMB threshold is 150 and above for any department, so the French credit rather than the score is the real constraint here.
