- Two A/L passes in Geography and Mathematics.
- ND/HND (Upper Credit) in Town Planning or related discipline plus UTME requirements are accepted.
Direct Entry keeps the same pairing, asking for A Level passes in Geography and Mathematics. The diploma route requires an upper credit and attaches the UTME requirements on top.
