All Three Streams Welcome at UNICAL Library and Information Science
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes including English Language, Mathematics, and three other relevant Arts, Science or Social Science subjects.
Naming all three streams in one clause is unusual, and it means a candidate is not penalised for having a mixed set of results.
The JAMB combination asks only for English Language and any three subjects, with no restriction at all on the other papers.
Direct Entry offers two routes. Two A level passes in relevant subjects alongside the UTME requirements, or an NCE at merit in relevant subjects.
The UNICAL JAMB threshold is 150 and above for any department. With subject rules this relaxed, the score is what the application rests on.
