JAMB logo
As a candidate seeking admission for Geography, you have to be sure of the universities offering the course. And not only that, you must be sure of their UTME subject combination, O'level subjects, and grades required together with JAMB cut-off Marks.

This post will give you details of these and insights into what possible cut-off marks will be for each of the universities in question.

Before then, there are a few things to understand.

  1. Below is the list of universities offering Geography. They're represented by their alias or acronyms. Hence, if you don't what a short-form of a university is, come back here and click on this link. The resulting page consists of the universities, their full names, addresses, and more.
  2. These universities and their admission requirements are taken from the official JAMB Brochure. Hence, everything here is official.
  3. This post will be divided into parts. The first part will be the requirements for Geography admission as wanted by JAMB. The second part will be the specific requirements required by each of the universities - which may defer from what JAMB wants in general for the course.

  1. For the O'level results and grades, candidates must possess at least five (5) SSC credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics, Geography, and any other two (2) Science subjects.
  2. As for the UTME subject combination, you must write English, Geography, and any two (2) of Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Agricultural Science.

NOTE: I advise you don't write both Biology and Agriculture Science together. Write one of the two to be safe.

JAMB Cut-Off Marks for Business Education

Though JAMB usually draws national cut-off marks for all institutions in the country. However, some institutions can draw something a bit higher than that announced by JAMB. 

There is no space to mention the cut-off mark each of these institutions will ask for this admission year. It's best to say that scoring 180 or above in UTME should be enough for any possible Geography course in these universities. 

However, it's advisable to visit the individual school's website to confirm what they asked for in the last admission year. This should be a quick guide. You can use the search box on this blog to search for any of the universities to see if their post-UTME adverts had been updated here too. This is because universities such as OAU, IBADAN, LAGOS,  ILORIN, etc will still ask for 200 or above notwithstanding.
