Agriculture is taught under the Faculty of Agriculture at The Federal University, Kashere. Biology and Agriculture are treated as interchangeable on all three routes into the programme.
Chemistry is named only in the UTME combination. It is not required at O’Level or at Direct Entry, which makes the JAMB stage the tightest of the three here.
Confirm that Agriculture appears on the current FUKASHERE course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

The JAMB Stage Is the Tightest for FUKASHERE Agriculture
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Mathematics, English Language, Biology or Agriculture, and any other science subject. Chemistry is not named at this stage.
The UTME combination then introduces it. English Language is compulsory, Biology or Agriculture is fixed, Chemistry is required, and the last place may be any other science paper.
A candidate who completed secondary school without Chemistry would therefore satisfy the O’Level line but still have to sit the subject at JAMB.
Direct Entry returns to the looser standard, asking only for two ‘A’ level passes in Biology or Agriculture and any other science subjects.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at FUKASHERE and applies before the subject conditions are examined.
