Gain admission with E8/D7 in mathematics: There are several Universities that accept Pass in Mathematics for some of their courses in Nigeria. Some of these courses are great courses too, with great career prospects.
It’s a general fact that you need at least 5 credit passes in your O’level before you can be offered admission. And such credit passes must be from subjects related to your proposed course. However, some courses/Universities may waive some deficiencies in the classes of English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Economics etc This means, where a school’s admission policy is lenient, candidates can still be offered admission with D7 or E8 in one or two of his or her required subjects.
