Educational Management is offered under the Faculty of Education at Sokoto State University (SSU). The clearest part of the entry route is the UTME combination, which is built around Economics and Mathematics alongside the compulsory English Language.
The O’Level and Direct Entry lines on this page are worded in terms of Educational Psychology, Guidance and Counseling rather than named SSCE subjects. Candidates should take those up with the department directly.
Confirm that Educational Management appears on the current SSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly. A course entered in error cannot be matched against the conditions set out below.

What Is Firm and What Needs Checking in SSU Educational Management
The UTME combination is the most usable guide on this page. English Language is compulsory, Economics and Mathematics are named, and the third subject may be any Social Science or Arts paper.
The O’Level line asks for five SSCE credits but describes them in terms of Educational Psychology, Guidance and Counseling. Those are not standard WAEC or NECO papers, so the subject list should be confirmed with SSU before registration.
The Direct Entry line is worded the same way, asking for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in those areas. NCE holders in education subjects are the candidates most likely to fit it.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session and applies regardless of which route a candidate takes.
