Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) is built on the same three sciences at every stage. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics appear in the O’Level credits, in the JAMB papers and in the Direct Entry list.
The only latitude the department offers is in the fifth O’Level credit, which may be any other Science subject. Everything else on the page is named outright, with no substitutions available.
Below are the full O’Level and UTME combinations, the Direct Entry qualification, and the JAMB score FUTMINNA applies across its programmes for the 2026/2027 session.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Chemical Engineering include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- English Language and any other Science subject
Four subjects are fixed and the fifth is open to any other Science subject. Biology, Agricultural Science, Geography and Further Mathematics are all reasonable candidates for that remaining credit.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
There is nothing to choose here. The UTME set repeats the four compulsory O’Level credits, so the open Science subject you used for the fifth credit plays no part in the examination.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Chemical Engineering if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- ‘A’ level passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
All three are compulsory and no alternatives are listed. A Direct Entry applicant who is missing any one of the three does not meet the condition, however strong the other two passes are.

JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTMINNA for the 2026/2027 session should know that you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result to be eligible for the screening.
The wording matters here: 180 makes you eligible for the screening, not for a place. Admission is decided from the screening exercise that follows.
About the Federal University of Technology Minna
Since its founding in 1980, the university has been dedicated to educating its students in science and technology. FUTMINNA, located in Minna, Niger State, has aided in developing drugs and vaccines in the country.
The University’s Vision is to become a world-class, leading university in Nigeria known for its capacity building and service delivery excellence. The university has achieved this vision through its focus on technological education.
Three Sciences Run Through Every Route Into FUTMINNA Chemical Engineering
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are the constant on this page. They are required as O’Level credits, as three of the four JAMB papers, and as the three A’Level passes for Direct Entry, with no alternative named at any point.
That leaves only two things to decide. Which Science subject fills your fifth O’Level credit, and whether your UTME score clears the 180 FUTMINNA needs before it will screen you for Chemical Engineering.
