Geology is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Kaduna State University (KASU). The O’Level line leaves the fifth credit completely open, which is unusual for a science department.
Physics and Geography both appear at the UTME and Direct Entry stages without being required at secondary school. The three lists each name a different set of subjects.
Confirm that Geology appears on the current KASU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination. A course entered in error cannot be assessed against these conditions.
