This is to inform the general public and all Federal University of Technology Minna (FUTMINNA) aspirants that the Department of Zoology admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers, the Direct Entry conditions and the minimum UTME score. Biology is the one subject named at every stage, with the rest described by group.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Zoology include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Biology, and two (2) other Science subjects
English Language, Mathematics and Biology take three of the five credits. The last two must both be science subjects, so there is no room for an Arts or commercial paper on this list.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Biology and any two (2) of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
The JAMB form narrows the choice to three named subjects. Biology sits beside the compulsory English Language, and the final two papers come from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
A candidate relying on Agricultural Science as a science credit will find it is not among the options offered here.

These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Zoology if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
