Geography Appears Only After O’Level at FUPRE Geology
The O’level list names Mathematics, English Language, Biology and Chemistry, with any science subject as the fifth credit. Geography is not mentioned at that stage.
At UTME it becomes one of five options, since the three papers beside English Language can be any three of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology and Geography.
Direct Entry is broader still, adding Geology itself to that same group of accepted A’level and NCE subjects.
A candidate relying on Geography at JAMB should still confirm the named O’level credits are in place. The score needed is a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
