The Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) has published the entry requirements for its Department of Education & Geography/Physics, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME combination, a special waiver and the Direct Entry route.
Geography/Physics runs through every route. It is a named O’Level credit, a compulsory UTME subject beside Use of English, and the subject that must appear among the two passes a Direct Entry candidate presents at A Level or NCE merit.
Read the waiver section carefully before you choose your UTME subjects. It names a different set of accompanying subjects from the general UTME line, and it is the FUTMINNA-specific instruction for this programme.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education & Geography/Physics include the following:
- Five SSCE credit passes to include Geography/Physics, English Language, and Mathematics.
Three of the five credits are named and the other two are left to you. Mathematics is compulsory here even though it is not a compulsory UTME subject, so it cannot be dropped at the O’Level stage.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Geography/Physics plus two other Social Science/Arts subjects.
Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA – Geography/Physics and any two subjects from Mathematics, Biology, and Physics.
This waiver and the general UTME line above do not agree. The UTME line points to Social Science or Arts subjects, while the waiver names Mathematics, Biology and Physics, which are sciences.
Both statements are reproduced here exactly as the department published them. The waiver is the FUTMINNA-specific remark for this programme, so it is the one that governs your UTME subject choice where the two differ.
