This article is designed to help students who wish to study Biotechnology 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.
All five Ordinary Level credits are named for this course, with no optional place at all. English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are each required.
The JAMB combination relaxes that slightly, fixing only Biology and Chemistry and leaving the fourth paper open to any other science subject.
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 Biotechnology; You require;
Five (5) SSCE Credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
A candidate missing any one of those five does not satisfy the condition, which makes this the strictest credit list among the KASU science departments.

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 Biotechnology under the Faculty of Sciences in the above Universities include;
Biology, Chemistry, and any other Science subject.
Because Mathematics and Physics are both required at Ordinary Level, either of them will serve as that fourth JAMB paper without extra preparation.
Direct Entry Requirement
You must fulfil these conditions to gain Direct Entry admission to study Biotechnology if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require; Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Biology/Botany/Zoology and Chemistry or Physics.
One pass must come from the Biology group and the other from Chemistry or Physics, so a candidate needs strength in two different science areas.
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 threshold governs eligibility for the screening exercise. Candidates below it are not carried into the next stage.
No Optional Credits at KASU Biotechnology
This department names every Ordinary Level credit it wants, which makes the requirement simple to check but impossible to work around.
Candidates who hold all five will find the JAMB registration straightforward, since any of their existing science subjects completes the combination.
Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) using direct entry need one Advanced Level pass from the Biology group and one from Chemistry or Physics.
