About The University of Cross Rivers State
University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), formerly known as Cross River University of Technology CRUTECH, was founded in 2002 and is managed by the state of Cross River.
The university was founded as a technology university that educates Nigerians in various fields of science and technology.
The university admits students from all over the country and does not use religious backgrounds as a criterion for admission, resulting in a diverse student body.
University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) provides courses and programs that lead to officially recognized higher education degrees, such as bachelor’s degrees, in various fields of study.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Computer Science include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics plus two other science subjects
Three credits are named and the other two must be science subjects. English Language, Mathematics and Physics are compulsory, so an Arts or commercial paper cannot fill the remaining places.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics and one of Biology, Chemistry, Agric Science, Economics, and Geography
The JAMB form is far more generous than the credit list. Economics and Geography appear as options for the fourth paper, neither of which would count as a science credit at O Level.
Mathematics and Physics remain fixed, so the only decision at registration is which of the five listed subjects to add.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Computer Science if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in science subjects, including Mathematics
- NCE merit in Mathematics and one (1) other Science or Social Science subject
- Passes in Physics and another Science subject OR ND(upper credit) in the relevant area.
Three Direct Entry routes are offered. A Level passes in sciences including Mathematics, an NCE at merit in Mathematics plus a science or social science subject, or passes in Physics and another science.
An ND at upper credit in a relevant area is listed as the alternative to that last route, which sets a grade bar rather than a subject one.
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.
Economics and Geography on the UNICROSS Computer Science JAMB List
Mathematics and Physics are the two subjects this department never lets go of. They sit among the O Level credits, on the JAMB form and across the Direct Entry routes in one form or another.
The surprise is the JAMB list, where Economics and Geography are accepted as the fourth paper even though the O Level credits must all be sciences. Keep both lists in view and clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
