This article is designed to help students who wish to study Physics under the Faculty of Sciences at The Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun (FUPRE).
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in FUPRE to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
The Physics requirements come in three parts, namely the WAEC or NECO subject combination, the four JAMB UTME papers, and the Direct Entry route for candidates not sitting UTME. One score threshold applies across the university.
About Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun
Federal University of Petroleum Resources is located in Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria.
It was established in 2007 by the government of Nigeria with the mandate of creating Universities that specializes in producing graduates with practical and theoretical knowledge in Oil and Gas.
Admission Requirements for Physics
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Physics is Five (5) SSCE credits in Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and any science subject.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Physics under the Faculty of Sciences at FUPRE include;
Physics, Mathematics, and one other subject chosen from Biology or Chemistry.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Physics if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

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.
Chemistry or Biology in the FUPRE Physics Combination
Physics and Mathematics are fixed at every stage of this course, and the fourth UTME paper is the only point of choice. It can be either Biology or Chemistry, which is wider than most physics programmes allow.
At O’level the picture is slightly different. Five credits are required in Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry and any science subject, so Chemistry is named outright rather than offered as an option.
A candidate choosing Biology at JAMB therefore still needs a Chemistry credit on the result sheet. The two lists are checked separately.
Direct Entry asks for A’level or NCE passes in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. UTME candidates need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
