The sections below cover the five O’Level credit passes, the four subjects sat in JAMB UTME, the Direct Entry route, two Minna waiver remarks, and the JAMB score needed to be eligible for screening into Geography.

The first waiver remark is the useful one. FUTMINNA will take Geography paired with either Mathematics or Physics, and states a preference for Physics, so candidates holding both should lead with Physics.
At O’Level the department asks for five credits covering English Language, Mathematics, Geography and two other science subjects. In UTME you sit English Language, Geography and two of Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Agricultural Science.
Direct Entry needs two A Level passes in Geography and one science subject, and the second waiver adds an NCE at merit or an ND or HND in Meteorology at upper or lower credit. UTME candidates need a JAMB score of at least 180.
