Microbiology is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Kaduna State University (KASU). The O’Level and UTME conditions are both built on a complete science background, with Biology and Chemistry at the centre.
The Direct Entry section on this page lists social science subjects rather than sciences, which does not fit the rest of the requirements. Candidates on that route should confirm it with the department.
Confirm that Microbiology 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.

Check the Direct Entry Line Before Applying to KASU Microbiology
The O’Level requirement names all five credits: English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Nothing is optional, so the full science set must be in place.
The UTME combination relaxes by one place. English Language is compulsory, Biology and Chemistry are fixed, and the third subject may be either Physics or Mathematics.
The Direct Entry line as published asks for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in Government or History, Economics, Sociology and Business Management. None of those are sciences.
That sits oddly against the rest of the page, where a full science background is required at both earlier stages. Anyone planning to enter through Direct Entry should check the position with KASU directly.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at KASU and applies before any subject condition is assessed.
