This article is designed to help students who wish to study Biology under the Faculty of Sciences at the Federal University of Technology (FUTA).
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in FUTA to carefully confirm and see if the course they selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.

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 Biology
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Biology is Five (5) SSCE credits in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology.
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 Biology at FUTA include Physics or Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Biology if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Biology.
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.
Physics or Mathematics at FUTA Biology
All five O’level credits are named for this course, covering English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Nothing is optional at that stage and no alternative subject is offered.
At UTME the list shortens to Chemistry, Biology and either Physics or Mathematics beside the compulsory English Language, so one of those two can be set aside at JAMB.
Because both are already required among the O’level credits, that choice changes your registration rather than your result sheet.
Direct Entry names all four sciences and also accepts two A’level or NCE passes at 200 or 300 level through an NCE, HND or OND programme. A minimum of 180 and above in JAMB applies for the 2026/2027 session.
