Only that final pairing offers a choice, so four of the five credits are effectively fixed before you begin.
The JAMB combination names English Language, Chemistry and Mathematics, with the fourth paper from Physics, Biology or Agricultural Science.
Direct Entry gives two options. Two A level passes in Chemistry and Mathematics, or an ND in Science Technology or a relevant programme taken with the UTME requirements.
