Library and Information Science sits under the Faculty of Sciences at Kaduna State University (KASU), and its subject requirements follow that placement closely. Biology and Chemistry are named at every stage.
Mathematics is treated separately and accepted at pass level rather than credit. That distinction is worth noting because the subject reappears as a requirement at Direct Entry.
Confirm that Library and Information Science appears on the current KASU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
