Admission requirements for the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calabar have been published, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME papers, two Direct Entry routes and the JAMB score.
Chemistry is the only subject compulsory at every stage. The O’Level list names all five credits, while the UTME and Direct Entry sections both leave a genuine choice around it.
That pattern makes this a straightforward course to plan for, provided the Chemistry credit is secure.
