Zoology is taught under the Faculty of Science at Adamawa State University. Biology is the subject that holds the application together, appearing at both the UTME and Direct Entry stages.
The O’Level line asks for the full science set and offers Agricultural Science as an alternative to Biology. That alternative does not survive into the JAMB registration.
Confirm that Zoology appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Zoology under the Faculty of Science at ADSU include;
Biology and two (2) other subjects from Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Zoology if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes, including Biology and one (1) another Science subject.
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.
Biology Cannot Be Substituted at JAMB for ADSU Zoology
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Mathematics, Chemistry, English Language, Physics, and Biology or Agricultural Science. Only the closing pair offers a choice.
The UTME combination names Biology outright and then asks for two of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, with English Language compulsory.
Agricultural Science is not accepted at that stage. A candidate from an agricultural secondary programme satisfies the O’Level line but must still register Biology for JAMB.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes including Biology and one other science subject, keeping Biology fixed at that level too.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at ADSU and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
