Mathematics is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Kaduna State University (KASU). The O’Level line names only three subjects and treats Physics and Chemistry as alternatives to each other.
Economics and Geography appear at UTME, and Economics again on the NCE route. A candidate without a full laboratory science background still has a workable path here.
Confirm that Mathematics 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.
