The Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) has published the entry requirements for its Department of Education & Physics, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME combination and the Direct Entry route into the programme.
Physics is the only subject named in all three routes. It is a required O’Level credit, a compulsory UTME subject, and one of the two A Level passes listed for Direct Entry candidates alongside Mathematics.
Mathematics sits differently in each list. It is compulsory at O’Level and for Direct Entry by A Level, but in the UTME it is one of two alternatives, since Chemistry may be written in its place.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education & Physics include the following:
- Five (5)’O’ Level credits pass to include English Language, Physics, Mathematics, and two (2) other Science subjects or NTC/NBC.
Three subjects are named and the last two must be sciences, so there is no free choice in this list. Candidates holding NTC or NBC qualifications can use them in place of those two science credits.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Physics
- Mathematics or Chemistry plus one (1) other subject.
Choosing Mathematics here keeps your UTME aligned with the O’Level list, where it is compulsory anyway. Chemistry is the alternative, and the fourth slot is left open for any other subject you are strong in.
Direct Entry Requirement
You need to fulfill these conditions to gain Direct Entry admission to study Education and Physics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in Physics and Mathematics.
- NCE credit/merit in relevant subjects.

Mathematics Is Compulsory at O’Level but Swappable in JAMB for FUTMINNA Education and Physics
The one place this programme gives you a choice is the UTME, where Chemistry may replace Mathematics. That flexibility does not extend backwards, because the O’Level list still demands a credit in Mathematics from every candidate.
Direct Entry candidates need two A Level passes in Physics and Mathematics, or an NCE at credit or merit in relevant subjects. Whichever route you take, a JAMB score of 180 or above is required for screening.
