The management of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has officially released the 2025/2026 admission list. Candidates who participated in the admission screening exercise can now check their admission status online through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
This marks an important milestone for thousands of students who selected UNICAL as their first-choice institution. If you sat for the Post-UTME screening, it is time to confirm whether you have been offered a provisional admission into your desired course of study.
How to Check UNICAL Admission Status on JAMB CAPS
Candidates are advised to follow the simple steps below to check their admission status:
- Visit the official JAMB CAPS portal: https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/
- Login with your registered email address and JAMB password.
- Select “Check Admission Status”.
- Click on “Access my CAPS”.
- Navigate to the “Admission Status” section to see if you have been offered admission.
- If admitted, you will see a congratulatory message with your passport photograph and admission details displayed.
- If not yet admitted, you will receive a message such as “Sorry, No Admission Has Been Given Yet.”
Next Steps After Admission
If you have been offered admission, you must:
- Accept or Reject the Offer: Send ACCEPT or REJECT as an SMS to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to your JAMB profile.
- Print Your Admission Letter: This is compulsory as it will be required during screening, clearance, and registration in the university.
- Act Promptly: Candidates are given a maximum of 4 weeks to accept their admission. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of the offer.
Important Notes for Candidates
- Candidates who do not have access to their linked phone numbers should visit a JAMB-accredited centre to accept or reject their admission.
- If you are checking with a smartphone, you may not see the full “Admission Status” option on CAPS. To solve this, use the Chrome browser and switch to Desktop Mode for a complete view.
- Ensure you print and keep all documents safe for your clearance and departmental registration at UNICAL.
