Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Agriculture and Resource Economics if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require two ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Chemistry and Biology or Agric Science or Zoology or Botany.

Where Economics Counts at FUTA Agriculture and Resource Economics
Despite the course name, Economics is not a core requirement. It appears only in the optional group at O’level, alongside Physics, Further Mathematics and Statistics, as a possible fifth credit.
The subjects that are fixed are English, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. Chemistry in particular has no alternative anywhere on this page, including at Direct Entry.
At UTME the combination becomes Chemistry, Biology or Agriculture, and Physics or Mathematics beside the compulsory English Language, so Agriculture is accepted in place of Biology at that stage.
Direct Entry widens the second subject further to include Agric Science, Zoology or Botany. UTME candidates need a minimum of 180 and above in their JAMB result for the 2026/2027 session.
