This article is designed to help students who wish to study Criminology And Security Studies under the Faculty of Social & Management 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.
Economics and Mathematics are named at every stage of this application, in the Ordinary Level credits, in the JAMB combination and in the direct entry condition.
The page also carries a waiver remark setting out the KASU specific credit rule, which is the line to read if the general requirement and the KASU entry seem to differ.
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.

Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- KASU requires Five ‘O’ level credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics, Economics, and two other subjects.
The KASU line leaves the last two credits unrestricted, where the general requirement above confines them to Arts or Social Science subjects. Treat the KASU entry as the one that governs an application to this university.
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 Criminology And Security Studies under the Faculty of Social & Management Sciences in the above Universities include;
Economics, Mathematics, and any of Government, History, Geography, Lit-in-English, French, and CRK/IRK.
That reads as Economics, Mathematics and one further paper chosen from six options, which together with English Language makes the four.

You need to fulfill these conditions to gain Direct Entry admission to study Criminology And Security Studies if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require; Two ‘A’ level passes in Economics and Mathematics, Statistics, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Agric Science, Accounting, Business Management, History, and Government.
Economics anchors that route, with the second Advanced Level pass drawn from a wide list that reaches across the sciences, commerce and the social sciences.
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 decides who is invited to the screening exercise rather than who is admitted.
Reading the KASU Line for Criminology and Security Studies
Economics and Mathematics are the two subjects to confirm first, since they appear in the credits, the JAMB papers and the direct entry condition alike.
Where the general requirement and the KASU waiver remark differ over the last two credits, the KASU entry is the one that applies to this university.
Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) should also check their JAMB score against the 180 screening threshold before counting on an invitation.
