Mathematics O’level and UTME subjects combination is the same for all schools irrespective of the higher institution. For example, all universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education offering Mathematics are mandated to make use of the same Subject Combo as a requirement for the above course.
Making use of the correct and approved O’level subject requirements plus JAMB subject combination for Mathematics makes the admission process much easier for candidates seeking admission to study Mathematics in their various institutions.
Not many are aware that one of the major reasons for the increase in purchase of change of university and institution is because before embarking on the UTME, most candidates fail to confirm the correct O’level subjects required to study Mathematics and thus making them go through the process of change of course or institution and sometimes both.
In this post today, we shall be giving candidates full details as regards the WAEC and NECO otherwise known as O’level subject’s combination and requirements for studying Mathematics in our universities and polytechnics.
Mathematics is a course for science inclined students in secondary schools and it is one of the most sought-after courses which students upon graduating from secondary school search for online. We will not just concentrate on the O’level subjects required to study Mathematics or the list of universities in Nigeria offering Mathematics but also, the best schools to study this course. This is not to say that other schools offering Mathematics are of lesser quality.
Upon completing this post, you ought to be clear about the followings:
- O’level Subjects for studying Mathematics in any Nigerian University or polytechnic
- Admission Requirements for studying Mathematics
- Whether you can combine WAEC and NECO results to Study Mathematics (Yes you can though this also depends on the institution)
- Cut off Mark for Mathematics in any University or Polytechnic
- List of Universities in Nigeria that offers Mathematics
O’LEVEL AND UTME APPROVED SUBJECTS COMBINATION FOR MATHEMATICS
Also, in the quest to study Mathematics, most candidates look out for the best institution for studying Mathematics as a course. Say for example; the one hundred and twenty (129) universities listed below are not just known for studying Mathematics but can be regarded as the best schools for this course.
O’LEVEL COMBINATION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDYING MATHEMATICS
Studying Mathematics as the case may present itself requires that candidate possess the following:
- Five O’level credit passes including English Language, Mathematics and Physics or Chemistry.
Now let’s go through the O’level (NECO/WAEC) and JAMB approved subjects’ combination for studying Mathematics before discussing about the cut off mark.
Direct Entry Requirement for Mathematics:
- Two (2) A Level passes in Mathematics and any other science subject.
- NCE merit in Mathematics and one (1) of Physics, Chemistry or Economics.
UTME Subject combination for Mathematics:
- Mathematics and any two (2) of Physics, Chemistry and Economics or Geography.
CUT OFF MARK FOR MATHEMATICS
It is advised that prospective students score up to 240 minimum JAMB cut off mark and above to stand a chance of studying Mathematics due to the competitive nature of the course. Though cut off mark may vary from school to school. Ideally, the 240 JAMB score is enough to see any candidate through so long as you pass your post UTME very well.
