This is to inform the general public and all Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) aspirants that the Department of Mathematics with Statistics Admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, three sets of FUTMINNA waivers, the JAMB papers, two Direct Entry routes and the minimum score. One of those waivers contradicts the general JAMB list directly.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Mathematics with Statistics include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics and at least three(3) subjects from below:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
- Additional/Further Mathematics
Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA accepts Technical Drawing
English Language and Mathematics are compulsory credits, with three more drawn from Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Further Mathematics. The waiver adds Technical Drawing to that pool.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry or Biology

Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA accepts Geography and does not accept Biology
This waiver overrides the general list above for FUTMINNA applicants. Biology is not accepted as the fourth JAMB paper here, and Geography takes its place alongside Chemistry.
Biology still counts towards the O Level credits, so the exclusion applies to the JAMB registration only.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Mathematics with Statistics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two ‘A’ level passes in Mathematics and either Physics or Chemistry
- NCE passes at merit level in Maths and either Physics or Chemistry
Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA accepts NCE/ND/HND credits plus five (5) relevant UTME subjects
- FUTMINNA requires Mathematics and Physics
The Direct Entry waivers tighten the general routes. Mathematics and Physics are specifically required, and an NCE, ND or HND is accepted alongside five relevant UTME subjects.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTMINNA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.

The Waiver That Rules Out Biology at FUTMINNA Mathematics with Statistics
Mathematics and Physics are required at every stage once the waivers are applied, and English Language is a compulsory credit alongside them. That trio decides most of the application.
The detail to act on is the JAMB waiver. The general list offers Chemistry or Biology, but FUTMINNA does not accept Biology and takes Geography instead. Register on that basis and clear 180 for the 2026/2027 session.
