Pairing History With Your Second Subject at UNIJOS
History/Government anchors every route into this course, so decide early which related subject you’ll pair it with, whether for UTME, ‘A’ Level, or NCE upper credit.
Confirm these requirements against UNIJOS’s current admission brochure before registering, since the 180 JAMB benchmark can shift between sessions.
Your O’Level credits should cover English Language, Geography, and Government/History, while your four JAMB subjects pair History/Government with two further Arts or Social Science choices of your own.
Direct Entry applicants need either two ‘A’ Level passes or an NCE upper credit in History/Government plus a related subject, so confirm which documents apply to your own qualification before applying.
