It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in ADSU to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
The sections below set out the WAEC or NECO subject combination for Agriculture, the four JAMB UTME papers, and the Direct Entry route, followed by the minimum JAMB score the university requires before screening.

Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Agriculture if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes, including Chemistry Biology/Botany/Zoology/ Agricultural Science, Economics, Physics, Geography, and Geology/Mathematics.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into ADSU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
Chemistry Appears Only After O’Level at ADSU Agriculture
The O’level line names only Mathematics and English Language outright. The remaining three credits come from a group of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geography, Economics and Agricultural Science, so Chemistry is optional at that stage.
At UTME it becomes compulsory. The four papers are English Language, Chemistry, Biology or Agriculture, and one of Physics or Mathematics, with no alternative offered for Chemistry.
A candidate who built the O’level five around Geography and Economics would therefore meet the first requirement and still fall short at JAMB. Plan the two lists together.
Direct Entry keeps Chemistry in place and adds Botany, Zoology, Geology and others as the second subject. The score needed is a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
