For University of Calabar as tagged in your question;
With a JAMB score of 169, you have a fair chance of studying Human Anatomy at the University of Calabar (UNICAL), but it will depend heavily on your Post-UTME performance and your state of origin.
​Here is the breakdown of your situation:
​1. Eligibility (The Minimum Hurdle)
​UNICAL’s general JAMB cut-off mark for the 2026/2027 session is expected to be 150 (similar to last year). Since you scored 169, you are officially eligible to apply for the UNICAL Post-UTME screening.
​2. The Departmental Cut-off Reality
​While 150 gets you into the exam hall, Human Anatomy is a competitive course within the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences.
​Merit Cut-off: Historically, the "Merit" cut-off (for everyone regardless of state) for Anatomy at UNICAL usually lands between 200 and 212 in the final aggregate.
How to Boost Your Chances
​Since your JAMB score of 169 is on the lower side for a medical science course, you must make it up in the Post-UTME.
​Target Score: You should aim for at least 240/400 (or 60%) in the UNICAL Post-UTME to stand a strong chance on the merit list.
​O'Level Requirement: Ensure you have at least a Credit (C6) in the "Big Five": English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. UNICAL strictly requires Physics for Anatomy.
