The University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka, has published the admission requirements for its Department of Music, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME papers and both cut-off marks.
Music is the clearest example on the UNN pages of a subject required at UTME but not at O’Level. It is a named JAMB paper, yet the O’Level list does not mention it.
The sittings rule also applies here. Your five credits must come from no more than two sittings.

Literature in English is the only other named subject, which makes this a very open requirement for arts candidates.
The JAMB combination asks for Use of English, Music, one other Arts subject and any further subject.
A candidate who never sat Music at O’Level is therefore not excluded, but will have to prepare it as a UTME paper from scratch.
The departmental mark is 180, below the 200 university cut-off, so JAMB is the harder of the two score hurdles. Check your sittings position before applying.
