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.

Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Technical Education include the following:
- Five (5) ‘O’ Level credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language and Mathematics or NTC/NBC.
Only English Language and Mathematics are named, and the other three credits are described as relevant subjects. National Technical and National Business Certificate results are accepted as an alternative qualification.
That NTC and NBC clause matters for a technical programme, since many candidates come through technical colleges rather than conventional secondary schools.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Physics
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
The JAMB papers are fixed at English Language, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. Nothing here is optional, which is a sharp contrast with the open O Level line above.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Technical Education if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- NCE merit in two (2) relevant Science subjects plus the UTME requirements.
- Two ‘A’ Level passes in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry.
Direct Entry offers two routes. An NCE at merit in two relevant science subjects with the UTME requirements attached, or two A Level passes drawn from Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry.
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.
Open at O Level, Fixed in JAMB for UNICROSS Technical Education
The two main lists work very differently. At O Level only English Language and Mathematics are named, and technical college certificates are accepted in place of conventional credits.
In JAMB there is no flexibility at all, with Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry joining the compulsory English Language. Make sure those three are subjects you can sit, and clear 140 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
