The Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) has published the entry requirements for its Department of Quantity Surveying, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME combination and two Direct Entry routes.
English Language, Mathematics and Physics are required at both O’Level and UTME. Chemistry is the fourth named O’Level credit, but in the UTME it drops to being one option among five for the final subject.
What stands out in this department is the breadth of the O’Level fifth-credit list. It runs to twenty entries and reaches well beyond the sciences into art, building trades and finishing crafts.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Quantity Surveying include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry and any one subject from below:
- Fine Art
- Geography or Wood Work
- Biology
- Economics
- Technical Drawing
- Further. Mathematics
- Introduction to Building Construction
- Bricklaying/Block laying
- Concreting
- Wall, Floors, and Ceiling Finishing
- Joinery
- Carpentary
- Decorative Painting
- Lining, Sign, and Design
- Wall Hanging
- Colour Mixing/Matching and Glazing
- Ceramics
- Graphics Design
- Graphic Printing
- Basic Electricity
Four credits are fixed and the fifth is open to any one entry on that list. Candidates from technical colleges can use a building or finishing trade here, which few science-based departments at FUTMINNA allow.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Physics
- Mathematics, and any one subject from below:
- Chemistry
- Geography
- Art
- Biology
- Economics
The UTME offers a much shorter menu of five subjects for the fourth slot. None of the trade subjects appear here, so a craft credit at O’Level still has to be paired with one of these five in JAMB.

The O’Level Fifth Slot Is Far Wider Than the JAMB Fourth at FUTMINNA Quantity Surveying
Twenty subjects qualify for the fifth O’Level credit against only five for the final UTME subject. Choosing Chemistry, Geography, Biology or Economics at O’Level lets the same subject serve both lists.
Direct Entry candidates need two A Level passes from Mathematics or Physics and Chemistry, Geography or Fine Arts, or an ND or HND at upper credit in a relevant field. A JAMB score of 180 or above is still required.
