Political Science is taught under the Faculty of Social & Management Sciences at Adamawa State University. Government is named at O’Level, and History joins it from the UTME stage onwards.
Mathematics is required at secondary school level only. It is a condition many arts candidates overlook on a political science page.
Confirm that Political Science appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

History Joins Government After O Level at ADSU Political Science
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Mathematics, Government, English Language and three other Arts subjects. Government is named but History is not.
The Mathematics credit is compulsory at that stage and appears nowhere else in the requirements. A candidate without it is excluded before the subject lists even matter.
The UTME combination then offers Government or History, with two other Arts subjects alongside the compulsory English Language.
Direct Entry is the narrowest condition here, asking for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in History and Government together rather than either one.
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.
