One Fixed Subject and Two Choices at ADSU Chemistry
Chemistry is the only subject required at every stage. Beyond it, the UTME combination lets you pick two from Physics, Biology and Mathematics, and Direct Entry asks for Chemistry plus any one of those same three.
That structure means a candidate can drop one science at JAMB without losing eligibility, provided Chemistry itself is there.
The O’level line is stricter. All five credits are named, covering Mathematics, Chemistry, English Language, Physics and Biology, so nothing can be dropped at that stage.
Plan your result sheet around all five and treat the UTME choice as a separate decision. Candidates need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
