Even though JAMB recommends three (3) 'A' Level passes in Chemistry, Biology/Zoology and Physics or Mathematics plus UTME requirements for Direct Entry applicants in order to seek admissions for Pharmacy, yet a few universities consider certain other conditions.
This post will emphasize the admission requirements for Pharmacy. As a direct entry applicant, this is a must-read.
Direct Entry applicants must be holders of any of the following qualifications:
- Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE)
- Naional Diploma (ND/OND)
- Higher National Diploma (HND)
- Bachelor of Science (BSC)
- Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB)
- Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB)
- Cambridge Advanced Level
- NABTEB Advanced Level
- GCE Advanced Level
While the JAMB brochure will refer to the likes of IJMB, JUPEB, Cambridge A'level, and NABTEB A'level, as A'level, qualification such as NCE, ND, HND, and BSC will be addressed as such. Hence, below are the specific requirements by the universities offering Pharmacy for the course.
