The Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) has published the entry requirements for its Department of Estate Management, covering the O’Level credits, a FUTMINNA waiver, the JAMB UTME combination and the Direct Entry route.
English Language and Mathematics are required in every list on this page. Economics is the third subject to watch, because it is compulsory in the UTME and in the FUTMINNA waiver even though the general O’Level line does not name it.
The waiver section matters here. It sets out a different set of O’Level credits from the general requirement above it, and it is the FUTMINNA-specific instruction for this programme.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Estate Management include the following:
- Five SSCE credit passes, including Chemistry, Mathematics, and English Language
Special Requirements (Waiver) Remarks
- FUTMINNA requires ‘O’ level credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, Economics, Chemistry or Physics and any one (1) of Biology, Geography and Accounting.
The two O’Level statements differ in two ways. The general line makes Chemistry compulsory, while the waiver accepts Physics in its place, and the waiver also adds Economics, which the general line never mentions.
Both are reproduced exactly as the department published them. The waiver is the FUTMINNA-specific remark for Estate Management, so it is the one that governs where the two statements disagree.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Economics and one other subject
The fourth UTME slot is unrestricted, so it is worth filling with a subject that also counts towards your O’Level credits. Geography, Biology or Accounting would each serve that purpose under the waiver list.

The FUTMINNA Waiver Lets Physics Stand In for Chemistry in Estate Management
Candidates who read only the general O’Level line may think Chemistry is unavoidable. Under the FUTMINNA waiver it is not, because Physics is accepted in its place, and Economics becomes a named credit instead.
Direct Entry candidates need two A Level passes from Mathematics, Economics, Geography, Biology and Physics. Whichever route you use, a JAMB score of 180 or above is what makes you eligible for the FUTMINNA screening.
