The Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) has published the entry requirements for its Department of Education & Mathematics, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME combination, Direct Entry and a special waiver for diploma holders.
Mathematics is required in every route. It is a named O’Level credit, a compulsory UTME subject beside Use of English, and one of the two passes a Direct Entry candidate must hold at A Level or NCE.
A science subject travels with it throughout. The O’Level list asks for one, the UTME list asks for two drawn from Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and Direct Entry asks for one beside Mathematics.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education & Mathematics include the following:
- Five (5) SSCE credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics, and another Science subject.
Only three of the five credits are specified, which leaves two of your own choosing. The science credit is not named, so Physics, Chemistry or Biology will each satisfy that part of the requirement.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics and any two (2) of the following Science subjects: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
The UTME asks for two sciences where O’Level asks for one, so plan to carry at least two of Physics, Chemistry and Biology through your preparation rather than stopping at the single credit the O’Level list requires.

A Science Subject Travels With Mathematics Into FUTMINNA Education and Mathematics
Mathematics alone will not carry an application for this programme. Every route pairs it with science, whether that is the single unnamed science credit at O’Level, the two sciences in the UTME, or the one science pass required for Direct Entry.
Diploma holders have a further option through the waiver, which accepts an NCE, ND or HND at not below lower credit in related studies together with four relevant UTME subjects. All applicants still need 180 or above in JAMB to reach screening.
