Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Education & Physics include the following:
- Five (5)’O’ Level credits pass to include English Language, Physics, Mathematics, and two (2) other Science subjects or NTC/NBC.
Three credits are named and the last two must be science subjects. National Technical and National Business Certificate results are accepted as an alternative, which opens the course to technical college candidates.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Physics
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
The JAMB combination is fixed at English Language, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. Chemistry is compulsory here even though the O Level list only asks for two science subjects of your choosing.
A candidate who sat Biology and Agricultural Science as their two sciences still has to register Chemistry in JAMB.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Education and Physics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in Physics and Mathematics.
- NCE credit/merit in relevant subjects.
Direct Entry drops Chemistry again. Two A Level passes in Physics and Mathematics qualify, as does an NCE at credit or merit in relevant subjects, which suits serving teachers.
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.
Where Chemistry Enters and Leaves UNICROSS Education and Physics
Physics and Mathematics are required at every stage of this application, which is what you would expect from the course title. They anchor the credits, the JAMB papers and the A Level passes.
Chemistry is the outlier, compulsory on the JAMB form and absent everywhere else. Register it even if it is not among your O Level sciences, and make sure your score reaches 140 for the 2026/2027 session.
