Information and Communication is taught under the Faculty of Science at Federal University Gashua (FUGASHUA). Mathematics is required on every route, while Physics stops being compulsory after O’Level.
Economics and Geography appear in the UTME pool and a social science subject is accepted at Direct Entry, so the course is less closed than its science faculty placement suggests.
Confirm that Information and Communication appears on the current FUGASHUA course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
