Previously, admission candidates across all disciplines — including Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities — were required to secure at least five credit passes in the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), including English Language and Mathematics, to qualify for tertiary education.
However, according to a statement released on Tuesday by the ministry’s spokesperson, Folasade Boriowo, the new directive is part of the revised National Guidelines for Entry Requirements into Nigerian Tertiary Institutions, designed to “remove unnecessary barriers while maintaining academic standards.”
The new framework applies to universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and Innovation Enterprise Institutions across the country.
Below are the updated entry requirements:
-
Universities: A minimum of five credit passes in relevant subjects, including English Language, in not more than two sittings. Mathematics is now compulsory only for Science, Technology, and Social Science courses.
-
Polytechnics (ND Level): At least four credit passes in relevant subjects. English Language remains compulsory for non-science courses, while Mathematics is mandatory for science-related programmes.
-
Polytechnics (HND Level): Five credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics.
-
Colleges of Education (NCE Level): Minimum of four credit passes in relevant subjects, with English Language required for Arts and Social Science courses, and Mathematics for Science, Vocational, and Technical programmes.
Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, described the policy change as a strategic reform aimed at broadening access to tertiary education and ensuring inclusivity in Nigeria’s academic system.
