Education and Science is taught under the Faculty of Education at Adamawa State University. Biology is the named subject at the UTME stage, with Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics supplying the other two places.
At O’Level the course lists six subjects for five credits, offering Biology or Agricultural Science as the final alternative. Direct Entry simply asks for relevant science subjects.
Confirm that Education and Science appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

Admission Requirements for Education and Science
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Education and Science is Five (5) SSCE credits in Mathematics, Chemistry, English Language, Physics, Biology, or Agricultural Science.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Education and Science under the Faculty of Education at ADSU include;
Biology and two (2) other subjects from Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Education and Science if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in relevant Science subjects.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into ADSU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
Biology Leads the UTME Combination at ADSU Education and Science
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Mathematics, Chemistry, English Language, Physics, and Biology or Agricultural Science. The last pair is the only choice offered at that stage.
The UTME combination narrows to Biology plus two of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, with English Language compulsory. Agricultural Science is not accepted here.
A candidate who relied on Agricultural Science at secondary school will therefore need Biology at JAMB. The two lists do not match on that point.
Direct Entry is stated loosely as two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in relevant science subjects, with no individual paper named.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at ADSU and applies whichever route a candidate takes.
