This article is designed to help students who wish to study Architecture under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Technology at Kaduna State University.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in KASU to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
Four Ordinary Level credits are fixed here: English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The fifth is drawn from a long list that reaches well beyond conventional school subjects.
That list takes in Fine Art and Technical Drawing alongside building trades such as bricklaying, concreting, joinery and glazing, which opens the course to technical college candidates.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation resulted from the obvious and felt need to boost higher education in the State and the country in general.

JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course. Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Architecture under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Technology in the above Universities include;
Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Geography, Art, Biology, and Economics.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Architecture if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes chosen from Mathematics or Physics and Chemistry, Geography or Fine Arts.
- ND/HND upper credits in relevant field.
The second option is the more accommodating of the two, accepting an ND or HND at upper credit in a relevant field without naming particular subjects.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into KASU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a minimum score of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
The 180 governs eligibility for the screening exercise rather than admission itself. Candidates below it go no further.
Reading the Long Subject List for KASU Architecture
Start with the four compulsory credits, then check whether any of your remaining results appears on the long option list, which includes a wide range of building and design trades.
Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) who hold an ND or HND at upper credit in a relevant field should also weigh the direct entry route, which bypasses the UTME.
The JAMB section asks for three other subjects but then lists seven, so the combination to register is not clear from this page. Confirm the correct three with the current JAMB brochure or with the faculty before sitting the examination.
