Mass Communication is taught under the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences at Kaduna State University (KASU). The O’Level and UTME stages name no subject beyond English Language.
Direct Entry is the exception. It asks for Government or History specifically, which makes it far narrower than the two routes that precede it.
Confirm that Mass Communication 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.

Direct Entry Is the Narrow Route Into KASU Mass Communication
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in English Language and four other subjects from the Arts or Social Sciences. Only the field is restricted, not the individual papers.
The UTME combination works the same way. English Language is compulsory and the three accompanying subjects may be any Social Science or Arts papers.
Direct Entry breaks that pattern completely. Two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes are required in Government or History, with no other subject accepted.
A candidate holding advanced levels in Literature and Economics would satisfy neither of those two named subjects, despite being comfortably within the UTME field.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at KASU. Mass Communication is usually well subscribed, so the score matters in practice.
