O’Level Requirements for Science UTME Candidates 2025
Generally, a possession of Five (5) SSC credit passes in English Language, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Biology is needed from UTME candidates;
Special Considerations on O’Level Requirements for Sciences
- LAUTECH requires ‘O’ Level credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology.
- GOUU same as in Biological Sciences.
- IMSU requires ‘O’ Level credit pass in Chemistry and also accepts ‘O’ Level pass in English Language.
