This is to inform the general public and all Adeyemi College of Education (ACEONDO) aspirants that the Department of Education & Religious Studies admission requirements have been published.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
Religious Studies is named on every route into this department, and in each case it has to be supported by Arts subjects rather than sciences.
The Ordinary Level condition also accepts a TC II at merit in place of five credit passes, which gives teacher training certificate holders a way in.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education and Religious Studies include the following:
- Five (5) ‘O’ Level credit passes or TC II merit in five (5) subjects, including English Language, Religious Studies, and three (3) other Arts subjects.
Two subjects are named and the other three must be Arts subjects, so the whole set of five is effectively confined to the humanities.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Two (2) Arts subjects, including Religious studies, and any one (1) subject
Read in full that is English Language, two Arts subjects of which one must be Religious Studies, and one further subject of any kind.
The last place is the only unrestricted one anywhere in this requirement, so a candidate may use a science or commercial paper there.

The TC II merit option at Ordinary Level is easy to overlook and worth checking if you hold a teacher training certificate rather than five credits.
Direct entry candidates pair Religious Studies with one other Arts subject, while UTME candidates need a JAMB score of at least 120 for the screening exercise.
