History is taught under the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Kaduna State University (KASU). The History paper itself is the only subject named on all three routes into the department.
Beyond History and English Language, nothing is specified. The O’Level line leaves three credits open, the UTME line asks for Arts or Social Science papers, and Direct Entry refers only to a related subject.
Confirm that History 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.

KASU History Asks for the Subject and Little Else
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits which should include History and English Language. The remaining three carry no restriction, making this one of the more reachable Arts courses here.
The UTME combination adds a light restriction. English Language is compulsory, History is fixed, and the other two subjects must come from the Arts or Social Sciences.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in History and any other related subject. Related is not defined, so that second pass is effectively a matter for the department.
Candidates without a History credit have no route in at any stage. It is the single condition that cannot be worked around.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at KASU and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
