Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Biological Science(s) include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
- Biology and any other Science subject.
Four credits are named and the fifth must be another science subject. English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology leave no room for an Arts or commercial paper.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics or Mathematics
The JAMB form introduces Physics as an alternative to Mathematics for the fourth paper. Mathematics remains a compulsory credit whichever of the two you register.
Biology and Chemistry are fixed on both lists, so those two grades matter more than any others on your result.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Biological Science(s) if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes to include one (1) of Botany, Zoology, Biology, or Chemistry.
- ND/NCE in related program/subject.
Direct Entry only names one of the two A Level passes, which may be Botany, Zoology, Biology or Chemistry. The second is unrestricted, and an ND or NCE in a related programme is the alternative route.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNICROSS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 140 or above in your JAMB result.
The Looser A Level Rule at UNICROSS Biological Sciences
Biology and Chemistry are compulsory at O Level and in JAMB, with English Language and Mathematics completing the credit requirement. Those four leave only one open place.
Direct Entry is the exception, since only one of the two A Level passes is specified and Botany or Zoology may stand in for Biology. If you hold a related ND or NCE, use that route. Otherwise clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
