Medicine and Surgery at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) names every O’Level credit it requires and then asks Direct Entry candidates to satisfy those same conditions on top of their advanced level passes.
Physics, Chemistry and Biology run through all three stages. Mathematics is required at O’Level and then disappears from the UTME combination, which is the one shift worth noting on this page.

Nothing Is Waived for UNILAG Medicine and Surgery
The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Every slot is named and none can be substituted.
The UTME combination keeps English Language compulsory and fills the other three places with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Mathematics drops out here but is still needed at credit level.
Direct Entry does not replace the UTME conditions, it adds to them. Advanced level passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Zoology are required in addition to the UTME requirements.
A degree route is also recognised, with a BSc or similar qualification in a relevant programme accepted. Zoology standing in for Biology at advanced level is the only substitution anywhere on the page.
The JAMB score condition is 200 and above for admission to any department at the University of Lagos. For Medicine and Surgery that figure sets eligibility only, and successful candidates normally sit far above it.
