Law at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) names three O’Level credits and then becomes noticeably more open at every later stage. Literature in English and Mathematics are the two conditions candidates most often overlook.
The Direct Entry section is wider than most, recognising advanced level passes, an NCE or ND, and a first degree at second class lower. Few UNILAG faculties list that many alternatives.

JAMB Score

Literature in English and Mathematics Decide UNILAG Law at O Level
The O’Level requirement is five credit passes to include English Language, Literature in English and Mathematics. Three papers are named and the remaining two are left entirely open.
Mathematics is the surprise on that list. A candidate building a pure Arts combination can easily reach the end of secondary school without a credit in it and be excluded on that basis alone.
The UTME combination asks only for English Language plus any three Arts or Social Science subjects. Literature in English is not required again at this stage despite being compulsory at O’Level.
Direct Entry accepts two ‘A’ level passes in Arts or Social Science subjects, and separately an NCE, ND or first degree at second class lower. The degree route is the broadest option on the page.
The JAMB score condition is 200 and above for admission to any department at the University of Lagos. Law is consistently among the most contested faculties, so that figure functions as a floor.
