JAMB Subject Combination for Mathematics 2025/2026

Prospective Mathematics students in Nigerian universities, the UTME subject combination typically includes English Language, Mathematics, and two other science subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Economics, or Geography. However, some universities have specific requirements, which may vary slightly from the general guidelines.

For example, institutions like UNIOSUN, FED-LAFIA, and OAU require Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. Other universities such as BINGHAM, BOWEN, and EBSU accept Mathematics along with any two subjects from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology but exclude Geography. Additionally, some schools like EKSU and CRUTECH insist on the inclusion of Physics in the subject combination.

Special considerations are given by various institutions. For instance, AAUA accepts Mathematics, Physics, and one of Chemistry, Biology, or Agricultural Science, while AL-HIKMAH accepts Economics and Geography. Schools like BELLS and UNIZIK do not accept Geography in their combinations. Furthermore, some schools may require specific subjects depending on their focus, such as FUPRE, which accepts Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry or Biology/Agricultural Science.

It is important to note that different universities have varying requirements for the second-choice subjects. Institutions like FED-LOKOJA, FUTA, and MINNA require specific combinations such as Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry or Biology. Some schools, like MAIDUGURI and RSU, have similar requirements, but it is crucial to verify with each university to avoid missing out on crucial admission criteria.

O’Level Subject Combination for Mathematics 2025/2026

For prospective Mathematics students in Nigerian universities, the general O’level requirement typically includes five SSC credit passes, which must include English Language, Mathematics, and either Physics or Chemistry. Some universities, however, have specific variations to these standard requirements.

For example, institutions like COOU, MAIDUGURI, and UNIZIK accept a pass in English Language, while ILORIN accepts Biology, Mathematics, and Physics. Some universities, like FUTO, require a minimum of five credit passes in specific subjects, including Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, with a pass in Biology. Similarly, DELSU and CRUTECH require a combination of English, Mathematics, and two other science subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, or Biology.

Special considerations exist at various universities. OAU, for instance, accepts English, Mathematics, and any two of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Additional Mathematics. Universities such as UNIOSUN, IGBINEDION, and BSU accept English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and any other relevant science subject, providing some flexibility in subject combinations.

Further, some schools have specific requirements for the inclusion of certain subjects. For example, BENIN requires Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, along with one other subject, while UYO only requires Mathematics and Physics for their O’level requirements. Schools like PHC have a slightly broader combination, accepting English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology for their Mathematics program.

Other institutions, like CUAB, require either Physics or Chemistry in addition to Mathematics and IJMB at acceptable grade levels. Some universities, such as NDU and UNIKINGS, require five O’level credit passes in specific subjects, including Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, while others like WESLEYUNI allow for combinations involving A-levels or ND qualifications.

In terms of combinations of subjects, universities like FUNAAB, KASU, and UMYUK specify the inclusion of science subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology, or Further Mathematics, with some also accepting subjects like Agricultural Science or Geography. Meanwhile, schools such as EVANGEL and FED-DUTSINMA accept combinations from subjects like Further Mathematics, Economics, Geography, and Biology.

Institutions such as FED-LAFIA, ABU, and KSUSTA provide detailed subject combinations, often including a mix of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and further electives. The general trend is that universities require a solid foundation in core science subjects, with slight variations in additional electives depending on the specific course focus.

It is important for candidates to carefully review the individual university requirements to ensure they meet the specific criteria for admission into the Mathematics program.

Direct Entry Subject Combination for Mathematics 2025/2026

• General Admission Requirements: Most institutions require two ‘A’ Level passes in Mathematics and another science subject, such as Physics, Chemistry, or Economics. Additionally, many universities accept qualifications like NCE (National Certificate in Education), ND (National Diploma), HND (Higher National Diploma), or JUPEB (Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board) as part of their Direct Entry requirements.
• Institution-specific Requirements:
  • RSU accepts HND (Lower Credit), OND/ND (Upper Credit), and at least two ‘A’ Level passes in Mathematics and Physics.
  • BAYERO accepts NCE with at least merit in Mathematics and one of Physics, Chemistry, or Biology, but does not accept Economics.
  • UMUDIKE requires two ‘A’ Level passes in Mathematics and Physics, and accepts ND (Upper Credit) or HND for 200 level admission.
  • LAGOS University requires very good JUPEB passes in three subjects including Mathematics and Physics, and also a credit in Further Mathematics.
• Special Considerations for Specific Universities: Some universities have unique requirements:
  • EKSU does not accept NCE for Direct Entry.
  • MAUTY and JOS accept ND upper credit in Computer Science.
  • FUTA accepts ND (Upper Credit) or equivalent in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or Computer Science.
• Degree and Diploma Holders: Many universities, like AAUA, FUTO, and ABU, accept degree holders (with at least a third-class degree) in physical sciences or related fields as qualifications for Direct Entry, in addition to the usual ‘A’ Level or NCE/ND qualifications.
• Specific Courses and Subjects: Some universities specify the types of subjects that are accepted. For example, AAUA accepts ‘A’ Level passes in Mathematics and Chemistry/Physics, while UYO accepts ND/HND in relevant programs. Additionally, TSUJ and EVANGEL emphasize specific subjects like Physics or Chemistry along with Mathematics.
• Special Requirements: Several universities have further specific criteria, such as:
  • FED-DUTSE accepts ‘A’ Level or equivalent with passes in Mathematics and any other relevant science subject.
  • KWASU allows NCE or ND qualifications with specific subjects and grades.
  • UNIKINGS accepts two ‘A’ Level passes in science subjects, including Mathematics and Physics.
• Distance Learning and Other Qualifications: Some institutions accept qualifications from recognized distance learning programs, JUPEB, or similar programs. Universities like MOUNTAIN TOP and FED-DUTSINMA accept qualifications like ND or HND (Upper Credit) in related science fields.
• Mathematics-based Programs: Many universities provide pathways for students with qualifications in Mathematics, Computer Science, and related subjects. For example, NILE, BOWEN, and TSUJ accept candidates with ND/HND/ND or NCE in Mathematics and associated fields for Direct Entry into their Mathematics and Science programs.
• General Trends: While many institutions accept multiple qualifications like ND, NCE, and HND in relevant science fields, there are exceptions. For instance, EKSU, OOU, and OAU do not accept NCE for Direct Entry, and some universities like NDU and IMSU do not offer Direct Entry admissions.
