Admission requirements for the Department of Accountancy at the Ibadan Polytechnic (IBADAN POLY) have been published. They cover the O’Level subject combination, the JAMB papers, the JAMB score and the departmental cut-off mark.
English Language and Mathematics are the only two compulsory subjects on either list. Everything else is chosen, which makes this a flexible department for candidates from commercial, arts or science backgrounds.
The gap between the two score figures is the wider one here. The polytechnic cut-off is 150, while Accountancy requires 193.

Forty Three Points Separate Ibadan Poly Accountancy From the Minimum
That gap is the headline. A JAMB score of 150 gets you into the polytechnic conversation, but Accountancy will not look at you below 193.
The subject rules are far gentler. At O’Level, English Language and Mathematics are fixed, and three more credits come from a long list covering Economics or Commerce, Business Methods, Principles of Account, Literature in English, Geography and Office Practice.
The same list also takes Government, Biology or Agricultural Science, Chemistry, Physics, History, Typewriting and Shorthand, so science and technical candidates are not excluded.
For JAMB, Mathematics and English Language are compulsory, with two further papers from Geography, Commerce, Government, Principles of Accounts and Economics.
Choosing JAMB subjects that also sit in your O’Level set is the sensible approach, since the two lists overlap on Geography, Commerce, Government, Principles of Accounts and Economics.
Build your preparation around reaching 193. The subject requirements will rarely be what stops an Accountancy application at this polytechnic.
