This article is designed to help students who wish to study Biology under the Faculty of Sciences 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.
Biology and Chemistry are named on both subject lists, with Mathematics and Physics offered as alternatives to each other in each case. English Language is compulsory throughout.
Direct entry is narrower than the UTME route here, since both Advanced Level passes must come from Chemistry, Biology, Botany and Zoology.
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.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Biology;
You require; Five (5) SSCE credit passes to include English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Maths/Physics
Four subjects are named and the wording asks for five credits in total, so one further subject of the candidate’s choosing makes up the number.

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 Biology under the Faculty of Sciences in the above Universities include;
Biology, Chemistry, and Physics or Mathematics
The JAMB list repeats the Ordinary Level pattern exactly, so a candidate can carry the same four subjects straight through to the examination.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Biology if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
- Two A level passes from Chemistry, Biology, Botany/Zoology.
- NCE is accepted with at least a merit-level pass.
An NCE at merit is accepted as an alternative to the Advanced Level passes, which gives teacher training candidates a route into the department.
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 scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
The 180 decides eligibility for the screening exercise. Candidates who reach it still face that stage before any offer.
What KASU Biology Asks of Science Candidates
The requirement is consistent across both stages, naming Biology and Chemistry and then letting a candidate choose between Mathematics and Physics.
That consistency makes the application easy to plan, since the same four subjects satisfy the credits and the JAMB registration alike.
Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) applying by direct entry should note the narrower subject list there, and UTME candidates need at least 180 for the screening exercise.
