Guidance and Counselling is taught under the Faculty of Education at Adamawa State University. Mathematics and English are the only named credits, and no field restriction applies anywhere else.
The UTME line accepts social science, arts or science subjects without preference. Few departments anywhere on the ADSU list are this open about supporting papers.
Confirm that Guidance and Counselling appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
