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 Forestry and Wood Technology
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Forestry and Wood Technology is Five (5) SSCE credits in Chemistry, Biology/Agricultural Science, Mathematics, English Language, and at least a pass in 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 Forestry and Wood Technology at FUTA include Chemistry, Biology/Agricultural Science, and Mathematics/Physics.
Direct Entry Requirement
You need to fulfill these conditions to gain Direct Entry admission to study Forestry and Wood Technology if you do not intend to use UTME.
You require Physics, Chemistry, 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.
A Pass Rather Than a Credit in Physics at FUTA Forestry
The O’level line makes a distinction worth noticing. Credits are required in Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, Mathematics and English Language, while Physics is accepted at ordinary pass level.
That single concession makes the course reachable for candidates whose Physics grade fell short of a credit.
At UTME the papers are Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and Mathematics or Physics, so Agricultural Science remains an accepted substitute at that stage too.
Direct Entry names Physics, Chemistry and Biology, 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.
