How Few Subjects UNICAL Sociology Actually Names
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes including Government or History, English Language and three other subjects, with a pass in Mathematics on top.
Those three other subjects carry no restriction at all, so science and arts credits are equally acceptable.
The JAMB combination is English Language plus any three Social Science or Arts subjects, which is as open as a UTME requirement gets.
Direct Entry asks for two A level passes with Government or History among them, keeping the same single named subject.
The UNICAL JAMB threshold is 150 and above for any department. With rules this relaxed, the Government or History credit and the JAMB score are what decide the application.
