Chemistry is taught under the Faculty of Sciences at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK). The O’Level stage requires a complete science set, while the later stages let candidates choose which sciences to carry forward.
The Direct Entry section is worth particular attention because it lists two separate qualifications. An ND or NCE route sits alongside the advanced level route, which is not the case on every NSUK page.
Confirm that Chemistry appears on the current NSUK 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.

Admission Requirements for Chemistry
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Chemistry is Five (5) SSCE credits in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
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 Chemistry at NSUK are Chemistry and two of Physics, Biology or Mathematics.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Chemistry if you do not intend to use UTME.
- You require two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and any one (1) in Physics, Mathematics or Biology.
- ND/NCE with good grades in relevant ‘O’ level subjects
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into NSUK 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.
Two Direct Entry Doors Into NSUK Chemistry
The O’Level requirement names all five credits: English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Nothing is left open, so a candidate missing any one of them cannot substitute another subject.
The UTME combination is lighter. English Language is compulsory, Chemistry is fixed, and the remaining two subjects are chosen from Physics, Biology and Mathematics rather than all three being required.
Direct Entry offers two routes. The first is two ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry plus one of Physics, Mathematics or Biology. The second accepts an ND or NCE with good grades in relevant O’Level subjects.
That second option matters for polytechnic and college of education graduates. It is the only place on this page where a qualification other than WAEC, NECO or advanced level is recognised.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at NSUK.
