This is to inform the general public and all Adeyemi College Of Education, Ondo (ACEONDO) aspirants that the Department of Agricultural Science & Education admission requirements have been published.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
There are two ways into this department. UTME candidates work from five Ordinary Level credits and four JAMB papers, while direct entry candidates present Advanced Level passes or an NCE at merit level.
The JAMB combination is unusually open. Only English Language is fixed, and the other three papers are chosen from a list of seven that includes Economics and Geography alongside the sciences.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Agricultural Science & Education include the following: Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Chemistry
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- Mathematics and any other relevant subject
Biology and Agricultural Science are treated as alternatives to each other, so a candidate needs only one of the two. The fifth credit may be any other relevant subject.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
English Language and any three (3) subjects below:
- Chemistry
- Biology

Economics and Geography sit on that list beside the laboratory sciences, which gives candidates from a commercial background a route into the course.
