O’level Subjects Not Accepted For Admission in Unibadan (UI)

In the last couple of years, a lot of new subjects have been introduced into the Nigerian Secondary school system. Most of these new subjects are technical and practical based, and are designed to equip the students with some skills and handiwork to enable them to be self-reliant and be able to stand on their own, survive and even create jobs in the society.

As good as the vision behind the introduction of these subjects is, they are not recognised by JAMB and the NUC as part of the entry requirements for gaining admission into any course in a Nigerian tertiary institution. The secondary school students should be made to understand this and their teachers and principals should stop deceiving them that those subjects are compulsory. Please they are not compulsory. You can offer the subjects while in school, you can attend the classes because no knowledge is a waste, but when you it comes to registering your SSCE subjects for WAEC or NECO, don’t let anybody tell you that they are compulsory. In fact, you don’t need them for any reason in your SSCE result.

To support what I’m telling you, the Senate of University of Ibadan (UI) has released a list of the subjects students now offer at Senior School Certificate Examinations that are not accepted for admission in the school. It’s best not to bother registering them in SSCE but if you decide to, bear in mind that they don’t fit into the UTME subject combination or O’level entry requirement of the courses you want to study in the university.

Find below a comprehensive list of such subjects.
