This is one of the most open subject requirements at UNILAG. English Language is the only named compulsory subject, and the UTME combination accepts any three further papers.

Mathematics appears, but at pass level rather than credit level, which is a lighter condition than most departments set.

Guidance and Counselling Admission Requirement

O’Level Subject Combination

UTME Requirement for Guidance and Counselling

Below is the O’level Requirement for Guidance and Counselling;

  • Five (5) ‘O’ level NTC/NBC credit passes or TC II merit, including English Language with ‘O’ level pass in Mathematics.

UTME/JAMB Subject Combination for Guidance and Counselling

Below is the UTME/JAMB SUBJECT COMBINATION for Guidance and Counselling;

  • English Language(*), and any three (3) subjects.

Direct Entry Requirement for Guidance and Counselling

Below is the DIRECT ENTRY (DE) Requirement for Guidance and Counselling;

  1. ‘A’ level passes or NCE in two (2) subjects plus the UTME requirements.

JAMB Score

For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Lagos, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.

How Open the UNILAG Guidance and Counselling Requirements Are

The O’Level requirement accepts three kinds of evidence. Five O’Level credits, NTC or NBC credit passes, or a TC II at merit, with English Language included in each case.

Mathematics must also appear, but only as an O’Level pass. A candidate who failed to reach a credit in Mathematics is therefore not shut out of this department.

The UTME combination asks for English Language plus any three subjects, which is as open as a JAMB requirement gets.

Direct Entry takes A level passes or an NCE in two subjects, with no subjects named, but those must come alongside the UTME requirements rather than instead of them.

The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. With the subject rules this relaxed, that score and the Post UTME are where places are won.
