Admission requirements for the Department of Education and Geography at the University of Calabar have been published, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME papers, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score.
Geography is the teaching subject and is compulsory at both O’Level and UTME. Mathematics is also a named credit, which not every education degree requires.
The Direct Entry clause then widens things unexpectedly by accepting Physics in place of Geography.

Physics as a Substitute for Geography at UNICAL Education and Geography
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes in Geography, English Language, Mathematics, and any two Social Sciences or Arts subjects.
The JAMB combination keeps the same core, naming English Language and Geography with two other Social Sciences or Arts subjects.
Direct Entry is where the page differs. It asks for two A level passes or an NCE merit which should include Geography or Physics.
That allowance gives a science candidate holding Physics a route in, even though Physics appears nowhere in the O’Level or UTME lists.
The UNICAL JAMB threshold is 150 and above for any department. Secure your Geography credit first, since the UTME route depends on it entirely.
