About The University of Cross Rivers State

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 Educational Administration & Planning include the following:
- Five (5)’O’ Level credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics, and Economics.
- Five (5) TC II merit, including English Language and Mathematics.
Two qualifications are accepted at this stage. Ordinary O Level credits require English Language, Mathematics and Economics, while the Teachers Grade II route at merit asks only for English Language and Mathematics.
Economics is therefore compulsory on one route and absent from the other, which is worth knowing before you choose which certificate to present.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Any three (3) of Literature in English, History, French, Geography/Physics, Economics, and Mathematics.
The JAMB list names its options rather than describing a group. Literature in English, History, French, Geography or Physics, Economics and Mathematics are all available, and three of them join the compulsory English Language.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Educational Administration & Planning if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2)’A’ Level passes from Literature in English, History, Christian Religious Studies/Islamic Studies, Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo with an ‘O’ Level pass in Mathematics.
- NCE merit in the subjects listed above.
The Direct Entry list is different again, centred on Literature in English, History, the religious studies papers and the three major Nigerian languages. An O Level pass in Mathematics is attached as a separate condition.
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.
Three Different Subject Lists at UNICROSS Educational Administration and Planning
English Language and Mathematics are the constants, although Mathematics drops to pass level on the Direct Entry route. Beyond those two, each stage names its own set of subjects.
Economics matters on the O Level credit route and on the JAMB form, while Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and the religious studies papers appear only at Direct Entry. Match your qualifications to the right list and clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
