Statistics is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Kaduna State University (KASU). Mathematics is the one subject required on every route, and the lists around it differ noticeably between stages.
The O’Level pool includes Statistics, Further Mathematics and Geography, none of which appear in the UTME combination. Checking both lists before registration is worth the few minutes it takes.
Confirm that Statistics 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.

JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Statistics at KASU include Mathematics and any two in Physics, Chemistry, or Economics.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Statistics if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Mathematics or Statistics together with an NCE credit in relevant subjects.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into KASU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
Three Different Subject Pools at KASU Statistics
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in English Language and Mathematics, plus any three from Physics, Statistics, Chemistry, Further Mathematics, Economics and Geography.
That pool is broad enough for most science and commercial candidates. Statistics and Further Mathematics being accepted at this stage is a genuine advantage for those who sat them.
The UTME combination is narrower. English Language is compulsory, Mathematics is fixed, and the two remaining papers must be Physics, Chemistry or Economics.
Statistics, Further Mathematics and Geography all drop out at that point. A candidate who relied on them at O’Level will need different subjects for JAMB.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in Mathematics or Statistics with an NCE credit in relevant subjects. A JAMB score of 180 and above applies for the 2026/2027 session.
