UI Biology Allows an Arts Credit but Demands 240
Candidates may present five O’Level subjects at one sitting or six across two sittings. English Language, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry are required, with one other Science or Arts subject completing the set.
That Arts allowance is unusual for a science department and gives candidates with a mixed profile somewhere useful to place a strong non science credit.
The JAMB combination names English Language, Chemistry and Biology, with the fourth paper drawn from the sciences, Physics and Mathematics being the examples given.
Mathematics is worth considering for that fourth paper, since it is already a compulsory O’Level credit here and so adds nothing new to your preparation.
The real work is the score. Reach 200 in JAMB to be considered by UI, then 240 in the school UTME screening exercise to satisfy this department.
