This is to inform the general public and all University of Abuja’s (UNIABUJA) prospective students that the Department of Educational Management & Planning Admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover two O Level routes, two waivers, the four JAMB papers, the Direct Entry conditions and the minimum score. Both waivers loosen the lines above them.

Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Educational Management & Planning include the following:
- Five (5)’O’ Level credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics, and Economics.
- Five TC II merit passes, including English and Mathematics.
Two routes are offered at this stage. Ordinary O Level credits require English Language, Mathematics and Economics, while a Teachers Grade II at merit asks only for English and Mathematics.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- UNIABUJA does not insist on credit passes in Economics.
The first waiver removes the Economics condition from the credit route, which brings the two routes much closer together and leaves English Language and Mathematics as the real requirements.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Any three of Literature in English, History, French, Geography/Physics, Economics, and Mathematics.
The general JAMB line names six options for the three papers sat beside the compulsory English Language.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- UNIABUJA accepts any three (3) Social Science subjects.
The second waiver replaces that named list with a group, accepting any three Social Science subjects, which is wider than the six subjects above.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Educational Management and Planning if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes from Literature in English, History, Christian Religious Studies/Islamic Studies, Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo with an ‘O’ Level pass in Mathematics.
- NCE merit in the subjects listed above.
Direct Entry turns to the Arts instead, accepting Literature in English, History, the religious studies papers and the three major Nigerian languages, with an O Level pass in Mathematics attached.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNIABUJA for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 180 or above in your JAMB result.
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 Waivers Loosen UNIABUJA Educational Management and Planning
English Language and Mathematics are the subjects that survive every version of the requirement, since the first waiver drops Economics from the credit route.
On the JAMB form the second waiver widens the options to any three Social Science subjects. Direct Entry is different again, built around Arts subjects with a Mathematics pass. Clear 180 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
