Geology is taught under the Faculty of Science at Adamawa State University. Geography enters the picture at UTME and Direct Entry but plays no part in the O’Level requirement.
The O’Level line names six subjects for five credits, offering Biology or Agricultural Science as the closing alternative. The later stages work from a pool instead.
Confirm that Geology appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

About Adamawa State University
Adamawa State University is located in Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria.
It was established in 2002 by the Adamawa State University Law No. 10 of 2001. The title caption of the university is “Towards ensuring rapid development and transformation of the State.”
Admission Requirements for Geology
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Geology 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 Geology under the Faculty of Science at ADSU include;
Any three of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology and Geography.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Geology if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ level passes from Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Geography.
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.
Geography Joins the Pool After O Level at ADSU Geology
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Mathematics, Chemistry, English Language, Physics, and Biology or Agricultural Science. Geography is absent from that list entirely.
The UTME combination then introduces it. English Language is compulsory and the three remaining papers may be any of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology and Geography.
Direct Entry widens further still, accepting two ‘A’ level passes from Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Geography. Geology itself is named only on that route.
A candidate with a strong Geography background should therefore look at the later stages rather than assume the subject helps at secondary school level.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at ADSU and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
