Admission requirements for the Department of Christian Religious Knowledge and Studies at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) are published below, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME papers, the Direct Entry route and the required JAMB score.

The subject appears under more than one name across the application. CRK at O’Level, Christian Religious Knowledge in the UTME combination, and Christian Religious Studies or Religious Studies for Direct Entry. They refer to the same requirement.
Confirm the department is listed under UNIABUJA on the current JAMB brochure before you register. School and departmental cut-off marks are applied once screening starts, so the score below is the qualifying floor.

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.
What a UNIABUJA Christian Religious Knowledge Application Must Show
Five SSCE credit passes are required. English Language and CRK are named, and three other relevant subjects complete the set, which gives arts candidates considerable freedom in how they build the remainder.
JAMB asks for four papers. English Language is compulsory, two Arts subjects are required with Christian Religious Knowledge among them, and any other subject fills the final slot.
Direct Entry accepts two A level passes or an NCE, provided Christian Religious Studies or Religious Studies is included. No diploma alternative is listed for this department.
A JAMB score of 180 or above is the screening threshold. If CRK is missing from your O’Level results, register for it at the next sitting, because no route into the department works without it.
