Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Physics include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics and any other Science subject from Further Mathematics and Biology or Agricultural Science
Four credits are named. English Language, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are compulsory, and the fifth comes from a short list of Further Mathematics, Biology or Agricultural Science.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Physics
- Mathematics
- Chemistry or Biology
On the JAMB form Biology may replace Chemistry, which the credit list does not allow. Physics and Mathematics stay fixed beside the compulsory English Language.
So a candidate can register Biology in JAMB and still be turned away for a missing Chemistry credit on the result sheet.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Physics if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- NCE/Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Physics, Mathematics, or Chemistry
Direct Entry accepts any two of Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, and an NCE qualifies on the same terms as A Level passes. No pairing is prescribed on this 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.
Biology on the Form, Chemistry on the Result at UNICROSS Physics
Physics and Mathematics are required at every stage of this application, which the course title makes predictable. They anchor the credits, the JAMB papers and the Direct Entry passes.
Chemistry is the subject that moves. It is a compulsory O Level credit but only one of two options on the JAMB form, so the lists must be checked separately. Clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
