Physics Is Non Negotiable at FUPRE Geophysics
Physics is the one subject with no alternative anywhere on this page. It is named among the five O’level credits, fixed at UTME, and required as the first of the two Direct Entry passes.
Around it the lists allow some movement. At UTME the third paper can be Chemistry or Biology, and at Direct Entry the second pass can be Chemistry or Mathematics.
Biology is accepted at JAMB even though the O’level list names Chemistry outright, so the two stages should be checked separately.
The fifth O’level credit can be any science subject. Candidates need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
