This article is designed to help students who wish to study Electrical / Electronic Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Technology at Nigeria Defence Academy.
Confirm that Electrical / Electronic Engineering is still listed at the Nigeria Defence Academy before you register for JAMB. Three science subjects dominate this application, and the only real choice on offer comes at Direct Entry.
The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna is one of the first of two Military Universities in Nigeria. Nigerian Army University, established in 2018 in Biu, Borno State, is the other military university though it does not offer military training.

O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Electrical / Electronic Engineering; You require;
Five SSCE credit passes to include Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English Language, and any other Science subject.
Four credits are named outright. The fifth place is open but restricted to a science subject, so an Arts or commercial paper will not fill it even at a high grade.
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 Electrical / Electronic Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Technology at NDA include;
Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry
The UTME combination is identical to three of the compulsory credits. English Language is added as the fourth paper, and no substitutions are offered anywhere on the form.
A candidate who sat Biology instead of Chemistry has no valid combination for this course, which makes the JAMB registration the step to get right first time.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Electrical / Electronic Engineering if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two ‘A’ level passes in Mathematics, Physics, or Chemistry
Direct Entry draws from the same three subjects but allows any two of them. Mathematics and Physics, Physics and Chemistry, or Mathematics and Chemistry are all acceptable pairings on this route.
Jamb Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into NDA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.
The Three Sciences Behind NDA Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry decide every route into this programme. They are compulsory O Level credits, they form the whole UTME combination, and any two of them satisfy the Direct Entry condition.
Add English Language and one more science subject to reach five credits, register the three named papers in JAMB, and make sure your score reaches 180 for the 2026/2027 session.
