Admission requirements for the Department of Chemistry at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) are published below, covering the O’Level credits, the four JAMB UTME papers, two Direct Entry routes and the JAMB score needed for screening.
The same four sciences recur throughout this page. Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Mathematics make up the O’Level list with English Language, and the UTME and Direct Entry sections simply draw from that pool in different combinations.
Confirm the course is listed under UNIABUJA on the current JAMB brochure before you register. School and departmental cut-off marks follow screening, so the score below marks the point at which you qualify to be considered.

About the University of Abuja
The University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), a dual-mode institution with the authority to administer conventional and distance learning academic programs, was founded on January 1st, 1988.
At its inception, it was the first university in the country to take on such a dual mandate. The Vision of the University is to develop an institution of higher learning that combines academic excellence with the pursuit of the unity of Nigeria.
One Fixed Subject and One Choice in UNIABUJA Chemistry
At O’Level there is no choice at all. All five credits are named, English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, so every one of them has to be on your result slip.
The UTME combination relaxes that. English Language and Chemistry are compulsory, and the remaining two papers come from Physics, Biology and Mathematics, which means you may leave out whichever of those three is weakest.
Direct Entry works the same way. Chemistry is fixed and the second A level pass may be Physics, Mathematics or Biology. An ND or NCE with good grades in relevant O’Level subjects is accepted as an alternative.
Whichever route you take, a JAMB score of 180 or above is required for screening. Since all five O’Level credits are compulsory here, that is the first thing to verify.
