Education and Integrated Science is taught under the Faculty of Education at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU). Direct Entry here names two specific NCE qualifications rather than describing them in general terms.
That precision is useful. A candidate holding an NCE in Integrated Science or in Science Education knows immediately that the route is open to them.
Confirm that Education and Integrated Science appears on the current ATBU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into ATBU 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.
Two Named NCE Routes Into ATBU Education and Integrated Science
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes including Biology, Chemistry, English Language and Mathematics. Four papers are named and the fifth is left open.
The UTME combination is wider than the O’Level line. English Language is compulsory and the three remaining papers may be any of Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Agric Science.
Physics and Agric Science appear at that stage but not among the O’Level credits, so the two lists should be read separately rather than assumed to match.
Direct Entry offers three options: advanced level passes in two science subjects, an NCE in Integrated Science, or an NCE in Science Education.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at ATBU and applies whichever of those routes a candidate uses.
