KASU Department of Chemistry Admission Requirement 2026/2027

This article is designed to help students who wish to study Chemistry 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, so there is no optional subject. English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology are each required.

In JAMB only Chemistry is compulsory beyond English Language, with two further papers drawn from Physics, Biology and Mathematics.

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 Chemistry; You require;

Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

Because all five are named, a candidate who dropped any one of them at school cannot satisfy the Ordinary Level condition for this department.

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 Chemistry under the Faculty of Sciences in the above Universities include;

Chemistry and two of Physics, Biology, and Mathematics.

Since all three of those options are already required at Ordinary Level, a candidate meeting the credit condition can choose freely between them.

Direct Entry Requirement

These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Chemistry if you don’t intend to use UTME.

You require;

• Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and any one (1) in Physics, Mathematics, or Biology.
• ND/NCE with good grades in relevant ‘O’ level subjects

Chemistry is compulsory on the Advanced Level route, paired with one of Physics, Mathematics or Biology. The ND and NCE option is judged on grades in relevant Ordinary Level 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 scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.

The threshold governs eligibility for the screening exercise rather than admission. Candidates below it are not carried forward.

Chemistry and Two More Sciences at KASU

The Ordinary Level list is closed and the JAMB list is open, which is an unusual combination. A candidate who clears the credits has an easy registration to plan.

Chemistry itself is required at every stage, including both direct entry options, so it is the one subject that cannot be worked around.

Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) should confirm all five credits first, then check their JAMB score against the 180 screening threshold.
