This is to inform the general public and all Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) aspirants that the Department of Mathematics with Computer Science admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers, two Direct Entry routes and the minimum UTME score. Mathematics is compulsory on every one of them, which is no surprise given the course.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Mathematics with Computer Science include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
Five credits are required but only four subjects are named, so the fifth is left to the candidate. English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are the ones specified.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics and any two of Physics, Chemistry, and Economics or Geography.
The JAMB combination is wider than the credit list. Economics and Geography appear as options beside Physics and Chemistry, so two of those four join Mathematics and the compulsory English Language.
That flexibility applies to the JAMB form only. Physics and Chemistry remain named credits whichever papers you register.

Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Mathematics with Computer Science if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two ‘A’ level passes in Mathematics and any other science subject.
- NCE with at least merit in Mathematics and one in Physics, Chemistry, or Economics
Both Direct Entry routes keep Mathematics compulsory. The A Level route asks for any other science subject beside it, while the NCE route names Physics, Chemistry or Economics specifically.
Economics is therefore accepted on the NCE route but not on the A Level one, which is a small difference worth checking before you apply.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTMINNA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.
