This is to notify the general public and all aspiring students of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) that the Department of Civil Engineering admission requirements has been published.
The sections below set out the O’Level subject combination the department asks for and the JAMB score a candidate needs to be eligible for the screening exercise at the University of Maiduguri.
Civil Engineering works from the standard engineering science base. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are named alongside English Language among the five SSCE credit passes, with a fifth science subject completing the set.
That fifth slot is the only choice the condition allows, and it still has to be a science. Candidates whose remaining strong credits are arts or commercial subjects will not satisfy the department on this route.

Checking Your Credits for UNIMAID Civil Engineering
Work through the five O’Level credit passes first: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Language and one further science subject. Four of the five are fixed, so there is little room to manoeuvre if a result comes back short.
A JAMB score of at least 160 is the threshold for eligibility at screening. Engineering places at Maiduguri attract strong competition, so check the departmental cut-off mark published for the session and treat that as the realistic target.
This page does not set out the UTME subject combination or a Direct Entry route for Civil Engineering. Confirm both against the current JAMB brochure, or with the Faculty of Engineering, before paying for your registration.
