Education and Geography is taught in the Faculty of Education at Adamawa State University. Geography is named on all three routes and the supporting subjects are drawn from the social sciences throughout.
Mathematics is required at O’Level only. It does not appear in the UTME combination or in the Direct Entry condition, which is the one shift between the stages.
Confirm that Education and Geography appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

Mathematics Drops Away After O Level at ADSU Education and Geography
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Mathematics, Geography, English Language, and any other social science subject. Three papers are named and the balance stays within the social sciences.
The UTME combination removes Mathematics entirely. English Language is compulsory, Geography is fixed, and the two remaining papers may be any social science subjects.
Direct Entry works the same way, asking for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes including Geography and one other social science subject.
Geography is therefore the only subject a candidate cannot avoid. Everything else is either optional or confined to a single stage of the process.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at ADSU and applies before the subject conditions are examined.
