The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Chemistry is Five (5) SSCE credits in Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.

Chemistry, Physics, and one other subject chosen from Biology or Mathematics.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Chemistry if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Chemistry and any of these subjects; Physics, Mathematics, or Biology.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUPRE 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.
Mathematics as an Option at FUPRE Chemistry
Mathematics is required among the five O’level credits, yet at UTME it is only one of two choices for the fourth paper, the other being Biology. Chemistry and Physics are the fixed pair at JAMB.
Direct Entry keeps Chemistry compulsory and lets the second A’level or NCE pass come from Physics, Mathematics or Biology.
All five O’level subjects are named here, covering Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, so there is no free credit at that stage.
Chemistry itself has no alternative on any route. Candidates need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
