Kanuri O'Level Requirements for Art/Humanities Admission
Contents
Candidates applying for Kanuri need to pay attention to the O'Level subjects attached to the exact course entry. In the JAMB brochure, Kanuri is listed under Arts/Humanities and the course is offered by Maiduguri.
O'Level Requirement for Kanuri
The brochure requires five (5) SSC credit passes for Kanuri. These must include:
- English Language
- Literature in English
- Three other subjects
The wording in the brochure is that the five SSC credit passes must include English Language and Literature in English.
What Candidates Should Note
English Language and Literature in English are the specifically named subjects in the Kanuri O'Level requirement. The remaining three credits are not further restricted in the general Kanuri entry beyond the five-credit structure shown in the brochure.
Candidates should therefore distinguish this requirement from the UTME combination. The O'Level requirement concerns the subjects and credits obtained at SSCE level, while the UTME section gives the subjects to be taken in JAMB.
Kanuri Admission at Maiduguri
The course table identifies Maiduguri as the awarding institution for Kanuri. It separately identifies Linguistics and Kanuri, so applicants should ensure they are checking the requirements for the correct programme.
O'Level Checklist
- Five SSC credit passes
- English Language must be included
- Literature in English must be included
- The remaining credits complete the required five subjects
One useful point for applicants is that the brochure's Kanuri entry does not introduce a separate institution-specific O'Level variation for Maiduguri beyond the stated requirement. The special consideration attached to the course concerns Direct Entry.
