History at the University Of Ibadan (UI) treats History and Government as alternatives to each other. A candidate may offer either paper and still satisfy the requirement at both O’Level and JAMB.
The O’Level line also makes an explicit allowance for a science subject in the sixth slot, which is rare on an Arts page and useful to candidates with mixed results.
Both cut-off marks here are set at 200, so the department applies the same standard as the university. The subject combination rather than the score is what needs planning.
