University of Cross River State: Courses, Cut-off & Admission (2026/2027)
University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) is a State university located in Calabar, Cross River, established in 2002. It offers the 11 programmes listed below. The JAMB national minimum for the 2026/2027 session is 150 — the college's own entrance exam and departmental cut-offs may be higher, so confirm with the school.
⚠ UNICROSS was formerly Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH) — renamed February 2021. Some blogs and agents still use old CRUTECH branding or stale domains (e.g. myunicross.edu.ng, no longer resolving) to look official. Only use unicross.edu.ng and admissions.unicross.edu.ng for screening and e-PIN payment. Never pay a "screening fee" or "admission fee" to an individual's bank account, a WhatsApp agent, or any third-party site claiming to guarantee admission — the school's portal is the only legitimate payment channel.
