Political Science is taught under the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences at Kaduna State University (KASU). Government or History is required on all three routes, with either paper satisfying the condition.
Mathematics sits outside the credit count and is accepted at pass level. The page states that separately, which is a clue to how easily it is missed.
Confirm that Political Science 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.
