This article is designed to help students who wish to study Physics 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.
Physics and Mathematics are named on all three lists, in the Ordinary Level credits, in the JAMB combination and in the direct entry condition. They are the core of this requirement.
Chemistry moves between the lists. It is a named credit at Ordinary Level but becomes an alternative to Biology in JAMB and to Mathematics on the direct entry route.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation was a consequence of 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 Physics; You require;
Five (5) SSC credit passes in English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and any other Science subject from Further Mathematics and Biology or Agricultural Science.
Four credits are named and the fifth comes from a short list, with Further Mathematics, Biology and Agricultural Science all accepted for that place.
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 Physics under the Faculty of Sciences in the above Universities include;
Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry or Biology.
That gives four papers with one genuine choice, and since Chemistry is already a required credit most candidates will simply carry it through.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Physics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
NCE/Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Physics and Mathematics or Chemistry.
An NCE is accepted as an alternative to the Advanced Level passes, and Physics is compulsory either way.

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 opens the screening exercise rather than securing a place in the department.
Physics With Mathematics at KASU
Confirm Physics and Mathematics first, since the pair appears on all three lists and neither has an alternative anywhere in the requirement.
Chemistry is the third subject to check, being a named Ordinary Level credit even though JAMB and direct entry both allow something else in its place.
Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) holding Further Mathematics or Agricultural Science can use either for the fifth credit, and UTME candidates need at least 180 for the screening exercise.
