Direct Entry is where this course relaxes. Chemistry is required, and the second subject can be Physics, Biology, Zoology, Botany or Mathematics.
Zoology and Botany appear nowhere else on the page, so they help only candidates taking that route.
A second Direct Entry branch accepts two A’level or NCE passes at 200 or 300 level through an NCE, HND or OND programme, which suits diploma holders.
For UTME candidates nothing is optional. The five O’level credits are English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and the JAMB papers are Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
The university has a competitive admissions process and does not consider a student’s age, cultural background or religion when deciding whether to admit them. A minimum of 180 and above in JAMB applies for the 2026/2027 session.
