Mechanical Engineering at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) sits under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Technology. This page sets out the O’Level credits, the UTME subject combination, the Direct Entry routes and the JAMB score the university works with.
Confirm that Mechanical Engineering is still listed under UNIABUJA on the JAMB brochure before you fill your UTME form. A course chosen without that check is the most common reason an otherwise strong application is set aside at screening.
UNIABUJA runs regular degree, diploma and postgraduate programmes from its base in the Federal Capital Territory. It also keeps a Centre for Distance Learning for candidates who cannot study through the regular system, though the requirements below apply to the regular degree route.

- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes from Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics.
- ND upper credit, NCE technical, and HND in Mech. Engineering.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks

What UNIABUJA Mechanical Engineering Applicants Should Confirm First
Three things decide whether your file moves forward. Your five SSC credits must include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English Language, your UTME subjects must read Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and your JAMB score must be 180 or above.
Direct Entry candidates have two openings. Two A level passes drawn from Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics will do, and so will an ND upper credit, an NCE technical, or an HND in Mechanical Engineering.
Note the waiver as well. UNIABUJA accepts an HND lower credit or an ND upper credit in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited institution, provided the UTME requirements are also met. That clause is the one route in for candidates whose diploma grade falls short of the Direct Entry standard.
Check each of these against your own result slips now, while there is still time to sit a supplementary O’Level paper or adjust your UTME subject choice.
