Geology and Geography Count Only at MAUTECH Direct Entry
Neither Geology nor Geography appears at O’level or UTME. Both show up only in the Direct Entry list, alongside Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Biology.
For UTME candidates the combination is Chemistry, Biology and either Mathematics or Physics, with English Language compulsory beside them.
