Petroleum Engineering at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) runs on three subjects. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics appear in the O’Level credits, the UTME combination and the Direct Entry list without variation.
The page also states plainly that no special consideration applies to the UTME combination. There is no waiver, no alternative subject and no discretion offered anywhere in the entry conditions.

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) is a federal government research university in Lagos State, Nigeria.
The school has maintained one of the most competitive in the country regarding admissions. UNILAG has one of the largest student populations of any university in the country.

- English Language(*), Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
Note: There is no special consideration for UTME/JAMB COMBINATION
Direct Entry Requirement for Petroleum Engineering
Below is the DIRECT ENTRY (DE) Requirement for Petroleum Engineering in the faculty of Engineering/Environment/Technology;
- A’ level passes to include Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
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.
No Special Consideration for UNILAG Petroleum Engineering
The O’Level requirement is five SSC credits including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language and any science subject. Four papers are named and only the fifth is open, and even that must be a science.
The UTME combination keeps English Language compulsory and fills the remaining three places with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The page adds a note that no special consideration applies to this combination.
That note is unusual and should be read literally. Candidates sometimes assume a strong score will offset a missing subject, and this page closes that door explicitly.
Direct Entry repeats the same trio. Advanced level passes must include Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, with no alternative subject accepted in place of any of them.
The JAMB score condition is 200 and above for admission to any department at the University of Lagos. Petroleum Engineering draws strong applicants, so that figure marks eligibility rather than competitiveness.
