A Long Direct Entry List at FUTA Agricultural Extension and Rural Development
Direct Entry here recognises nine subjects behind the compulsory Chemistry, running from Biology, Agricultural Science, Botany and Zoology through Economics, Mathematics and Physics to Geography and Geology.
That is far wider than either of the other two routes, and it brings social science and earth science candidates into range.
At O’level, four credits are fixed, namely English Language, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology or Agricultural Science, with the fifth from Physics or Geography.
At UTME the papers are Chemistry, Biology or Agriculture, and Physics or Mathematics, so Geography counts only on the result sheet and at Direct Entry.
The university has a competitive admissions process and does not consider a student’s age, cultural background or religion when deciding whether to admit them. A minimum of 180 and above in JAMB applies for the 2026/2027 session.
