Industrial Chemistry is offered at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). This page sets out the O’Level credits for UTME candidates, the JAMB subject combination, the two Direct Entry routes and the JAMB score.
UNILAG is a federal government research university in Lagos State, in south western Nigeria. It remains among the most competitive institutions in the country for admissions, and holds one of the largest student populations of any Nigerian university.

Chemistry and Mathematics are the two subjects this department will not compromise on. Both are compulsory O’Level credits, both carry asterisks in the JAMB combination, and both are named for Direct Entry.
Physics, Biology and Agricultural Science fill the remaining places. The O’Level rule treats Biology and Agricultural Science as alternatives to each other, while all three are options at UTME.
O’Level Subject Combination
Below is the O’level Requirement for Industrial Chemistry (UTME CANDIDATES)
Five (5) SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and either Biology or Agricultural Science.
JAMB Subject Combination
Subjects marked with an asterisk are compulsory. With three compulsory papers named, you then choose one more from the alternatives listed.
English Language(*), Chemistry(*), Mathematics(*), and any Physics, Biology, or Agricultural Science.

Direct Entry Requirement for Industrial Chemistry
- Two (2) ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and Mathematics.
- ND in Science Technology or ND in relevant programmes with 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.
Chemistry and Mathematics Decide UNILAG Industrial Chemistry
The O’Level requirement names all five credits. English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and then either Biology or Agricultural Science.
Only that last pairing offers a choice, so four of the five subjects are effectively fixed before you begin.
The JAMB combination makes English Language, Chemistry and Mathematics compulsory, with the fourth paper taken from Physics, Biology or Agricultural Science.
Direct Entry gives two routes. Two A level passes in Chemistry and Mathematics, or an ND in Science Technology or a relevant programme taken together with the UTME requirements.
Note that the ND route does not replace the UTME conditions, it sits alongside them. The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above, and that applies on the diploma route as well.
