Admission requirements for the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) are published below. They cover the O’Level credits, the four JAMB UTME papers, two Direct Entry routes and the JAMB score required for screening.
Physics and Mathematics are the two subjects this department will not do without. They are named O’Level credits, they are JAMB papers, and they are the only two A level subjects listed for the Direct Entry route.
Confirm the course is listed under UNIABUJA on the current JAMB brochure before registering. School and departmental cut-off marks come after screening, so the score below is where eligibility begins rather than ends.

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.
Two Ways Into UNIABUJA Civil Engineering
The UTME route asks for five SSCE credit passes covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language and one further Science subject, then four JAMB papers in English Language, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
Chemistry is required at both stages even though it does not appear in the Direct Entry list. Candidates planning around UTME should treat it as compulsory rather than optional.
Direct Entry is the second way in. A level passes in Physics and Mathematics will qualify you, and so will an ND or HND at upper credit in an appropriate field.
A JAMB score of 180 or above remains the eligibility mark for screening. Check your Physics and Mathematics credits first, then confirm the Chemistry credit the UTME route adds.
