UNICAL Post-UTME Screening Date and Test Format

This is the detail that catches a lot of returning applicants off guard: UNICAL doesn’t run the traditional written CBT exam it once did.

In a prior cycle, UNICAL cancelled its scheduled written Post-UTME test and switched to grading candidates using their O’Level results instead and the most recent confirmed source for this cycle states explicitly that “the Post-UTME exercise is an O’Level Point Grading System.”
[VERIFY directly with UNICAL] a smaller number of sources still reference a CBT venue and time appearing on a screening schedule printout, language that may reflect an older format. Given UNICAL’s history of switching formats between cycles, confirm your specific requirement via your printed schedule once registration completes.
Regardless of format, you’ll need to bring your original UTME result slip showing your photograph for verification.

Banned items if any in-person component applies to you: cell phones, iPads, Walkmans, and wristwatches you won’t be allowed into the exam hall with these.

UNICAL Post-UTME Past Questions: Do You Need Them?

Given UNICAL’s shift toward an O’Level-based grading system, traditional “past questions” practice has reduced relevance compared to previous cycles when a written test was standard. To prepare effectively:

Focus on your O’Level grades since these are the primary factor UNICAL’s point grading system uses.
Confirm your O’Level results are accurately uploaded to both the UNICAL portal and JAMB CAPS.
Gather your original UTME result slip with photograph in advance, in case any in-person verification is required.
If you still want general preparation as a precaution, free UNICAL Post-UTME past questions resources are referenced by several sources, but treat these as optional given the current grading system, not essential.

UNICAL Post-UTME Cut-Off Mark

The general JAMB cut-off mark for UNICAL is 150 for the 2026/2027 session this is your minimum entry point for the screening, not a guarantee of admission.

UNICAL doesn’t publish a separate written-test aggregate formula for this cycle, since admission is determined through the O’Level point grading system rather than a blended CBT score. What’s consistent:

Medicine and Surgery carries the strictest O’Level requirement (one sitting only) and is the most competitive programme.
[VERIFY current departmental cut-off figures directly via UNICAL’s official portal], since specific departmental numbers weren’t confirmed in available sources for this cycle.
