Statistics is taught under the faculty of science at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). The O’Level list is drawn entirely from the sciences and quantitative subjects.
Mathematics appears only at Direct Entry, where it is offered as an alternative to Statistics. That is a point candidates should check directly with the department.
Confirm that Statistics appears on the current UNN course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination. A course entered in error cannot be assessed against these conditions.

You require two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Mathematics or Statistics and NCE credit in relevant subjects.
JAMB Score

Where Mathematics Sits in the UNN Statistics Requirements
The O’Level line asks for five SSCE credits and lists Physics, Statistics, Chemistry, Further Mathematics, Economics and Geography. Six subjects are named against a total of five.
Candidates should confirm that count with the department, and should also ask where English Language and Mathematics sit, since neither is named in that line.
The UTME combination is clear enough. English Language is compulsory and the three accompanying papers are Physics, Chemistry and Economics.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in Mathematics or Statistics together with an NCE credit in relevant subjects. Mathematics is named only here.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at UNN and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
