Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
UNIJOS accepts NCE General English in lieu of ‘O’ Level English Language, and Geography/Physics as a Science subject.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNIJOS for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a score of a minimum of 180 or above in your JAMB result.
Two Waivers Worth Knowing for UNIJOS Education and Biology
If you lack a standard English Language credit, NCE General English can substitute, and either Geography or Physics can stand in for a Science subject, widening the door for some otherwise ineligible candidates.
Confirm these waiver details against UNIJOS’s current admission brochure before registering, since the 180 JAMB benchmark and standard entry requirements can shift between sessions.
