The University of Ibadan (UI) has published the admission requirements for its Department of Food Technology, covering the O’Level subject combination, the JAMB UTME papers and both cut-off marks.
Two conditions here are stricter than the subject lists suggest. The five O’Level credits must be obtained in a single sitting, and the UI general cut-off of 200 is among the highest set by any Nigerian university.
The departmental mark is also 200, so Food Technology does not add a hurdle beyond the university minimum. Clearing that figure twice, in JAMB and at screening, is what the application requires.

Reading the UI Food Technology Subject List Carefully
The O’Level section names English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics, then adds a further list of Agricultural Science, Further Mathematics, Technical Drawing, Economics, Geography, Metal Work and Wood Work.
Since the five named subjects already account for all five credits, that second list reads as a set of permitted alternatives rather than an additional requirement. Confirm the point with the department before you rely on it.
The JAMB combination is unambiguous. English Language, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, all four of which are already named O’Level subjects.
The single sitting rule is the condition most likely to catch a candidate out. Credits spread across two sittings will not satisfy this department as the requirement is written.
Check that first, then work towards 200 in JAMB and 200 again in the school UTME screening exercise. Both figures apply and neither leaves any margin.
