Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Pure/Applied Chemistry include the following:
Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and, Biology.
All five credits are specified, leaving no optional subject at this stage. English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology must each be a credit pass.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
- English Language
- Chemistry and any two subjects from below:
- Physics
- Biology
- Mathematics
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Pure/Applied Chemistry if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and any one of Physics, Mathematics, or Biology.
- ND/NCE with good grades in relevant ‘O’ level subjects.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
UNIJOS accepts Chemistry and Physics.
That waiver narrows the Direct Entry pairing. The general line allows Physics, Mathematics or Biology as the second A level, but UNIJOS names Physics.
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.
UNIJOS Names Physics as the Chemistry Partner
The O level stage leaves nothing open. Five SSCE credit passes are required in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and Chemistry then leads the UTME combination.
In JAMB you take Chemistry with any two of Physics, Biology and Mathematics. Direct Entry asks for two A level passes in Chemistry and a second science, though UNIJOS specifies Physics, and an ND or NCE with good grades is also accepted. The minimum JAMB score is 180.
