Literature in English Direct Entry Requirements for Art/Humanities Candidates
Contents
The JAMB Arts/Humanities admission information includes Direct Entry conditions connected with Literature in English, but the visible course row does not provide one universal Direct Entry qualification that can safely be assigned to every institution listed for the programme.
Instead, candidates should pay attention to the institution-specific Direct Entry information provided in the admission section.
Direct Entry Conditions Mentioned in the Admission Information
- UNIOSUN: two A' Level passes to include Literature in English and other Arts subjects, or NCE in English and other Arts subjects.
- UNIHEZ: two A' Level passes including Literature in English and one other Arts subject.
- KASU: two A' Level passes including Literature in English and one other Arts subject; it also mentions NCE merit including English, ND/HND lower credit in a related field and IJMB with 7 points and above.
- DELSU: in addition to its O'Level requirements, candidates must possess at least Merit passes in not less than two Art subjects, including Literature, at GCE A' Level, HSC or equivalent. The document also states that an A' Level General Paper or NCE General English is not accepted in place of an O'Level credit in English Language.
- FED-LOKOJA: two A' Level passes including Literature and another Arts or Social Science subject, with the stated grade condition; it also mentions NCE, OND, HND and Bachelor's Degree routes with specified grades.
Why the Direct Entry Route Needs Careful Checking
Direct Entry qualifications vary considerably across institutions. Some conditions mention A' Level passes, while others refer to NCE, ND, HND, IJMB or previous degrees. These should not be merged into one general rule.
One candidate may therefore qualify for Direct Entry at one institution but still need to meet a different qualification or grade condition at another.
Before Applying Through Direct Entry
Identify the institution and check the exact Literature in English admission information attached to it. Pay particular attention to the required qualification, subject, grade and any additional O'Level condition.
