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 minimum score of 180 or above in your JAMB result.
Choosing Between Islamic Studies and Arabic for UNIJOS
UNIJOS accepts either Islamic Studies or Arabic as your O’Level anchor subject, so candidates strong in either subject area can still qualify for this programme at UNIJOS.
Confirm these requirements against UNIJOS’s current admission brochure before registering, since the 180 JAMB benchmark can shift between sessions.
Your JAMB subjects should pair English Language and Islamic Studies with two other Arts subjects, while your O’Level result needs Islamic Studies or Arabic plus three relevant subjects, so line both sets of subjects up carefully well ahead of your JAMB exam registration closing date.
