UNILAG

Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are the three subjects that carry this course. They are named O’Level credits, they are three of the four JAMB papers, and they are the only A level subjects accepted for Direct Entry.

The only flexibility sits in the fifth O’Level credit, which may be any other Science subject. Everything else on this page is specified.

UTME Requirement for Mechanical Engineering

Below is the UTME Requirement for Mechanical Engineering in the faculty of Engineering/Environment/Technology;

  • Five (5) SSC credit passes to include Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language, and any other Science subject.

JAMB Subject Combination

Below is the UTME/JAMB SUBJECT COMBINATION for Mechanical Engineering in the faculty of Engineering/Environment/Technology;

  • English Language(*), Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

Direct Entry Requirement for Mechanical Engineering

Below is the DIRECT ENTRY (DE) Requirement for Mechanical Engineering in the faculty of Engineering/Environment/Technology;

  • Two (2) ‘A’ level passes from Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics.
  • ND upper credit, NCE technical, and HND in Mech. Engineering.

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.

Three Sciences and One Diploma Route Into UNILAG Mechanical Engineering

The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes covering Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language and any other Science subject.

The JAMB combination mirrors it exactly. English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, so a candidate who meets the O’Level rule is already preparing the right UTME papers.

Direct Entry has two shapes. Two A level passes from Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, or a technical qualification route.

That second route accepts an ND at upper credit, an NCE technical, or an HND in Mechanical Engineering, which gives polytechnic and college of education graduates a clear way in.

The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. Verify your Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics credits before you register, since every route on this page rests on them.
