The Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) has published the entry requirements for its Department of Education & Science, covering the O’Level credits, a FUTMINNA waiver, the JAMB UTME combination and Direct Entry.
This programme does not name a single flagship subject. English Language and Mathematics are the only two fixed O’Level credits, and the rest of the requirement is expressed as a count of science subjects rather than a named list.
That count comes from the waiver section, where FUTMINNA asks for any three other science subjects. The UTME mirrors the same shape, pairing Use of English with three relevant science or NBC subjects.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education & Science include the following:
- Five SSCE credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, and other Science subjects.
Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA requires any three other science subjects.
This remark completes the O’Level line above rather than contradicting it. English Language and Mathematics account for two of the five credits, and these three science subjects account for the remaining three.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Three relevant Science or NBC subjects
Mathematics is a required O’Level credit but is not separately named in the UTME list, so it only counts there if you choose it as one of your three relevant science subjects. NBC subjects are accepted in their place.

Three Sciences Fill Out the Five Credits for FUTMINNA Education and Science
Because this department names only English Language and Mathematics, your real decision is which three sciences to carry. Choose subjects you can also write in the UTME, where three relevant science or NBC subjects are required.
Direct Entry candidates need two A Level passes in relevant sciences including their proposed course, or NCE credit and merit passes with TC II merit or SSCE credit. A JAMB score of 180 or above remains the screening threshold.
