This page contains everything you need to know about the Jamb/UTME subject combination for physiology, O’level & Direct Entry (DE) requirement for PHYSIOLOGY in Faculty/College. We will also show you the special consideration (waiver) for the said course.
It is imperative to note that you must be a Science student for you to study Physiology in Nigeria Universities. However, that’s can be possible only if you meet the admission requirements of the specific choice of institution. This page on a simple note literally covers answers to questions related to O level, Jamb and A-level admission subject combinations and requirement.
Without much ado, we’ll focus on O’level / WAEC subject combination (requirements), JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements), Direct Entry requirements, Special consideration (waivers) and the required screening documents for admission into any Nigeria universities that offers physiology. In other to help you avoid having difficulties with getting admission in Nigeria Universities, we have some post that will be of benefit to you. You can always ignore!
The UTME and Direct requirement below was lifted from JAMB Official Brochure. It is the Accurate and Official version for the above course.
In JAMB, what is the meaning of Special Consideration (Waiver)??
It means, additional requirement for a particular course in a particular school. If your school have a special consideration for either O’level Requirement, UTME Subject Combination or Direct Entry Requirement, then please take note of it.
Note sometimes in special consideration column, the school requirement might be slight different from the general requirement. We advice you know your desired school’s special consideration for your course. ITS NECESSARY else you might be denied admission.
