JAMB Subject Combination for Physiology 2025/2026

The UTME/JAMB subject combination for Physiology includes English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Special considerations (waivers) vary by university:

• Babcock requires the same combination as Anatomy.
• OOU accepts any three of Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biology.
• Ilorin mandates Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
• Lagos requires English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
• ABU, PHC, and EUI all require Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

O’LEVEL REQUIREMENT FOR PHYSIOLOGY

The UTME requirement for Physiology is five (5) SSC credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Special considerations (waivers) include:

• Benin requires at least five credit passes at no more than two sittings, including English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
• Ibadan follows the same requirements as Medicine and Surgery.
• Ilorin accepts credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and either Biology or Zoology.
• Delsu requires five credit passes at no more than two sittings in the same subjects.
• Fed-Dutse and RSU require five credit passes in English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at no more than two sittings.
• FUTA, Lagos, ABU, PHC, and EUI all require five credit passes in the same subjects at no more than two sittings.

DIRECT ENTRY REQUIREMENT FOR PHYSIOLOGY

The Direct Entry (DE) requirement for Physiology generally requires two (2) ‘A’ level passes chosen from Chemistry, Physics, and Biology/Zoology. Special considerations (waivers) include specific requirements from different universities.

For example, AAU follows the same requirement as Medical Laboratory Science, while ABUAD requires three (3) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology/Zoology. Benin accepts three (3) ‘A’ level passes or equivalents at no more than two sittings, in addition to O’ Level requirements, or a second class lower division in relevant Biological Sciences. Calabar and PHC do not accept Direct Entry for Physiology.

Further special considerations include Ibadan, which has requirements similar to Biochemistry, and Ilorin, which accepts two ‘A’ level passes from Chemistry, Physics, and Biology/Zoology, along with additional A’ Level passes in these subjects. 

Lagos University accepts JUPEB/‘A’ level passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, or a B.Sc. degree in medical-related fields with a first-class or second-class upper division. Lautech accepts ‘A’ level passes in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or an ND/HND upper credit in a relevant program. Fed-Dutse requires three ‘A’ level passes in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics obtained from IJMB.

Some universities have additional flexibility. ABU accepts ‘A’ Level/IJMB passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Zoology. DELSU accepts HSC or GCE ‘A’ level passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Zoology (with Botany as a substitute for Biology/Zoology) or a first degree in relevant Biological Sciences with at least a Second Class Lower Division. PHC accepts three ‘A’ level passes from JUPEB, IJMB, or GCE/HSC, along with the UTME entry requirements. EUI accepts two ‘A’ level passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Zoology along with UTME requirements or a relevant B.Sc. or OND/HND qualification. FUTA requires either an Upper Credit at the National Diploma level or ‘A’ level passes in two science subjects, including Biology.
