On this page, I will guide you on the required O level subject combination to study Information and Communication Science. if you are a returning visitor, you can skip reading repetitive paragraphs.

You must be a science student with a good background science subjects for you to study Information and Communication Science in Nigeria Universities, and that’s can only be possible if you meet admission requirements. This page literally covers answers to questions related to O level and A-level admission requirement.

In other words, the WAEC subject combination (requirements), JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements), Direct Entry requirements, Special consideration (waivers) and the required screening documents for admission into Nigeria universities. In other to help you avoid having difficulties with getting admission in Nigeria Universities, we have some student guide articles that will be of benefit to you. You can ignore.

WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Information and Communication Science

You’re expected to have at least 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination needed to study Information and Communication Science in Nigeria universities. These subjects combination are also applicable to other O’level exams such as NECO AND GCE. The required WAEC subject combination (O level requirement) for Information and Communication Science must include:

English Language
Mathematics
Physics
Plus two other science subjects
A trade subject

These listed subjects are compulsory for anyone writing WAEC and other O level examinations. I will advise you to include a Language in your O level subjects. For the record, if you are one of those students seeking admission into any universities, college or polytechnics in Lagos State, Yoruba Language is compulsory for Information and Communication Science. So now that you know the compulsory O level subject requirement to study Information and Communication Science, let also look at JAMB UTME and Direct requirements.

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Information and Communication Science

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a body responsible for your admission into the University or other institutions. Now I’m going to show you the compulsory JAMB subjects for Information and Communication Science that you must register (English must be included because it is compulsory even though it may not be listed among the JAMB subjects below), and I will honestly advise you to aim for a score of 200 and above in JAMB UTME instead of 180 to be on a safe side because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider the College of Education or Polytechnic… Read how to answer and pass JAMB once.

Please note– If Mathematics is not listed among the Jamb subject on this post, then Mathematics is not compulsory for this course. JAMB is not the only option to gain admission into Nigerian Universities to study Information and Communication Science. If you’re having troubles with JAMB UTME, maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND, HND or Predegree!..

JAMB UTME subject combination to study Information and Communication Science must include:

Maths
Physics
Choose one from Biology, Chemistry, Agric Science, Economics and Geography

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Information and Communication Science

If you’re one of those seeking admission into the University to further your studies, in addition to the required WAEC subjects combination for Information and Communication Science, you are expected to have;
(i) Two A/L passes in science subjects including Mathematics
(ii) NCE with at least Merit in Mathematics and one other Science or Social Science subject.

I want you to read this

If you have your O level result already and the subjects you have is not the same with the admission requirement that is the required O level subject combinations to study Information and Communication Science, don’t give up. You should consider other Information and Communication Science similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related courses.

You can also study online with a foreign university right from your bedroom or apply for a scholarship to study abroad. Education is now a choice. And please before you make a decision on which University to choose, please read useful guides on how to choose a course and university

Cut-off Mark for Information and Communication Science course

As you can see, more than one University offers Information and Communication Science. This means the cut-off mark for Information and Communication Science varies. You can check these universities JAMB UTME cut off marks here. Information and Communication Science is a good course and you can also check the top best science courses. This should not influence you. Follow your heart or seek my counsel.

Information and Communication Science is how many years course?

In Nigeria, if you gain admission to study Information and Communication Science degree course at the university through JAMB UTME, you will study Information and Communication Science for four years. If you gain admission through direct entry, you will study this course for three years. And of course there is room for more years if you have extension; the aftermath of carryover courses.

Have you read this?

Can a commercial or an art student study Information and Communication Science?

No! If you are a Commercial or an Art student, you cannot study Information and Communication Science at the university because it is a pure science course which need a good background in science subjects. To avoid discouragement, you can go for this course if you wish provided you have the required subjects combination in your O level result. If you’re still in secondary school, you may find it difficult to change subjects to fit your desired course during WAEC registration because some schools may go against it.

Also, during WAEC or NECO registration make sure you know which subjects are been registered for you because some secondary schools are ignorant about the importance of O level requirements for university courses. Another alternative way to register the required subject combinations for Information and Communication Science is through GCE.

Special Consideration

Now I am confident that you know the compulsory subjects needed to study Information and Communication Science in WAEC. But note this — Some Universities may accept D7 or E8 in some a compulsory subject instead of Credit. And some may accept or reject two sittings. That is combinations of WAEC, NECO, or GCE results.
