JAMB Subject Combination for Geology 2025/2026

The JAMB subject combination for Geology includes English Language and any three subjects from Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, and Geography. However, different universities have specific requirements or special considerations.

For example, Benin accepts Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Biology but not Geography, while schools like EBSU, KWASU, DELSU, and Calabar require Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Other schools like OOU and FUTA may have additional specifications, such as mandatory Chemistry or specific combinations of subjects. It is important to check each university’s unique subject requirements to ensure eligibility.

O, Level Subject Combination for Geology 2025/2026

The O’level requirement for Geology (UTME candidates) typically includes five SSC credit passes in English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and other subjects. However, specific universities have their variations. For example, Ajayi and Benin do not accept geography as an O’level subject, while AAUA and EBSU require specific subjects like physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics. EBSU also has a restriction regarding physically challenged candidates due to the physically demanding nature of the course.

Other universities, like UNN, require five O’level credit passes in English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. Some universities such as COOU accept Agricultural Science in place of Biology and also require credit passes in Geography. Institutions like Ibadan and PHC require a broader range of subjects, including technical drawing or further mathematics, alongside core science subjects. Additionally, universities like FUTA and DELSU insist on subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, with variations in the required number of sittings for the results.

Specific universities like RSU and FUTO have slightly different requirements, often accepting Geography as an alternative to Biology or including more flexibility with the subjects required. For example, RSU accepts credit passes in either Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. Some schools, like NDU and Ilorin, also permit credits in any science subject as a fifth subject. It’s important to check the specific requirements for each school to ensure eligibility.

Direct Entry Subject Combination for Geology 2025/2026

The Direct Entry (DE) requirements for Geology typically include two A-Level passes in subjects such as Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Biology, or Geography. However, various universities have specific conditions for entry. For example, UNIZIK accepts A-Level passes in Geography and HND credit in Mining Engineering, while other universities like Benin and OAU do not accept Geography as an A-Level subject. Similarly, universities such as PHC and Ilorin require two A-Level passes in relevant subjects like Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, with additional qualifications like ND or HND in related fields considered.

Other institutions like EBSU and FUTA have flexible entry requirements, accepting ND, HND, or NCE qualifications in relevant fields, as well as specific combinations of A-Level passes. For instance, Ilorin requires three A-Level passes in Chemistry, Physics, and either Geology, Mathematics, or Biology. Some schools, like AAUA, accept two A-Level passes in core subjects like Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, while others like Jos and COOU accept HND or ND credits in related sciences.

Many universities, including DELSU, OOU, and JOS, accept upper-credit ND in fields such as Geology or Mining Engineering. Notably, schools like Jos and RSU consider HND in Mining Engineering as an additional qualification for direct entry. Furthermore, universities such as FUTO, BUK, and LAUTECH require specific A-Level subject combinations and qualifications like ND in relevant fields or additional JUPEB subjects to qualify for direct entry into their Geology programs.

Certain schools, including Lagos, RSU, and Federal Universities like ABU and BAUCHI, provide further options for candidates with relevant qualifications, such as OND, ND, HND, or GCE A-Level passes. These institutions often require a minimum number of credits in specific subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, and some accept degrees or diplomas in related disciplines, such as Mining Engineering and Geophysics.
