Microbiology is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Federal University, Gashua (FUGASHUA). The O’Level requirement names all five credits, leaving a candidate nothing to substitute.
Biology is then fixed at both later stages, with Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics shifting between compulsory and optional depending on the route.
Confirm that Microbiology appears on the current FUGASHUA course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

Biology Is the Constant at FUGASHUA Microbiology
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Every slot is named, so a missing credit cannot be replaced.
The UTME combination relaxes by one place. English Language is compulsory, Biology and Chemistry are fixed, and the third paper is either Physics or Mathematics.
Direct Entry goes further, asking for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes which should include Biology and any one of Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics.
Chemistry is therefore compulsory at the first two stages but optional at the third, while Biology is required everywhere after O’Level.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at FUGASHUA and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
