The Same Three Papers at Every Stage of FUPRE Petroleum Engineering
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry carry this course throughout. They appear among the five O’level credits, they are the three UTME papers beside English Language, and they are named again at Direct Entry.
No alternative is offered for any of them, so a candidate missing one has no published route into the department.
The only flexibility is the fifth O’level credit, which can be any science subject. English Language is required at O’level and compulsory at UTME as well.
Candidates entering through UTME need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session. Confirm the three core subjects on your result sheet before anything else.
