Biology then leads the UTME combination, joined by any two relevant subjects. Direct Entry spreads across five routes, from A level sciences and an NCE in Physical Education to merit diplomas, an NCE in Biology or Integrated Science, and registration as a nurse.
Each of those routes sets its own O level top up, ranging from two credit passes to five. UNIJOS requires a minimum JAMB score of 180 for the 2026/2027 session.
