Getting a 276 in JAMB is an impressive feat, congratulations on that! However, whether it guarantees admission into Medical Radiography at the University of Calabar (UNICAL) depends on a few moving parts, especially since UNICAL is quite competitive for medical sciences.
​Here is the breakdown of your chances:
​1. The JAMB Score (276)
​For Medical Radiography, most competitive federal universities look for scores between 250 and 280+. Your score of 276 puts you in a very strong position. You are well above the general cut-off and within the competitive range for the Department of Radiography.
​2. O'Level Results (4 B3s and 1 C5)
​Your O'Level grades are perfectly fine. JAMB and UNICAL require at least a Credit (C6) in the five core subjects:
​English Language
​Mathematics
​Physics
​Chemistry
​Biology
​Since your lowest grade is a C5, you have met the basic requirement. While some schools award points for A1s and B2s during their internal screening, your B3s are solid enough not to disqualify you.
​3. The UNICAL "Catchment Area" Factor
​UNICAL gives preference to candidates from its catchment areas (Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Rivers, etc.).
​If you are from a catchment state: Your chances are very high.
​If you are from an ELDS (Educationally Less Developed State): Your chances are also very high.
​If you are "Merit" (from any other state): You will need to rely heavily on your high JAMB score, as the merit cut-off is always the highest.
​4. Post-UTME Performance
​This is the final hurdle. UNICAL calculates an aggregate score which is a combination of your JAMB score and your Post-UTME score. To be safe for Medical Radiography, you should aim for a high score (at least 70%+) in the UNICAL Post-UTME.
Final Verdict: You have a very strong chance. Just ensure you stay focused for the Post-UTME and keep an eye on the official UNICAL portal for their specific aggregate calculation formula this year.
