Tai Solarin University of Education has published the admission requirements for its Department of Biology. The page sets out the O’level subject combination, the JAMB UTME papers, the Direct Entry route, and the score needed to reach the screening stage.
The O’level demand is fully specified. Five SSCE credit passes are required in English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, so there is no optional subject anywhere in that list.
Direct Entry offers a different path for candidates who do not intend to use UTME, accepting either two A’level passes in science subjects or an NCE at merit level.
This is to notify the general public and all Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) aspirants that the Department of Biology admission requirements have been published.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.

About Tai Solarin University of Education
The Tai Solarin University of Education is a state university in Ijebu-ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. The institution was established in 2005 and is Ogun State’s second state university to receive authorization.
The University is the only institution in the country that offers both the bachelor’s degree programmes in education (B.Ed.) and trains National Certificate of Education (NCE) graduates within the same academic environment.
No Spare Subject in the TASUED Biology Requirements
What stands out here is how little choice the department leaves. Every one of the five O’level credits is named, which means a candidate missing Physics or Mathematics has no alternative subject to fall back on.
Direct Entry is where flexibility finally appears. Two A’level passes from Chemistry, Biology, Botany or Zoology are accepted, and an NCE at merit level also qualifies, so Physics is not required on that route.
The score bar is comparatively low. Candidates need 150 or above in their JAMB result to be eligible for the 2026/2027 screening at the university.
Check your result sheet against the five named subjects first. That list, rather than the score, is what most often decides a Biology application here.
