The Federal University of Technology (FUTA) offers Animal Production and Health under its Faculty of Agriculture, and this page sets out the WAEC and NECO credits, the JAMB UTME combination, Direct Entry and the JAMB score required.
Chemistry is the one subject required in every route. It is a named O’Level credit, a compulsory UTME subject, and the fixed half of the two-subject Direct Entry condition.
Biology and Agricultural Science share a slot at both O’Level and UTME, and Physics and Mathematics share the remaining UTME place, so there is some room to play to your strengths.

About Federal University of Technology
The Federal University of Technology (FUTA) is located in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria.
It was established in 1981 as part of a motivated effort by the Federal government of Nigeria to create specialized universities that produce graduates grounded in both the theoretical and practical aspects of technology.
Admission Requirements for Animal Production and Health
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Animal Production and Health is Five (5) SSCE credits in Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology/Agricultural Science, Physics, and English Language.
All five places are accounted for, counting Biology or Agricultural Science as one. Mathematics is a required credit here even though the UTME treats it as an alternative to Physics.
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 Animal Production and Health at FUTA include Chemistry, Biology/Agricultural Science, and Physics/Mathematics.
Direct Entry Requirement
You must fulfil these conditions to gain Direct Entry admission to study Animal Production and Health if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require Chemistry and one of Biology/Botany /Zoology/Agricultural Science/ Geography/Geology/ Mathematics/Economics.
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in any 200 or 300-level course at the NCE/HND/OND program.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into FUTA 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.
Eight Second Subjects at FUTA Animal Production and Health
Direct Entry is where this course opens up. Chemistry is required, and the second subject can be Biology, Botany, Zoology, Agricultural Science, Geography, Geology, Mathematics or Economics.
Several of those, including Geology and Economics, appear nowhere else on the page, so they help only candidates taking that route.
A further Direct Entry branch accepts two A’level or NCE passes at 200 or 300 level through an NCE, HND or OND programme.
At O’level and UTME the position is much tighter, resting on Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and Physics or Mathematics, with English Language throughout.
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.
