Admission requirements for the Department of Arts and Design 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.
Fine Art is the subject that defines this department. It is a compulsory O’Level credit and a compulsory JAMB paper, and nothing else on either list is offered as a substitute for it.
The score figures are a little apart. The polytechnic cut-off is 150, while Arts and Design sets its departmental mark at 175.

Fine Art Plus Two: the Ibadan Poly Arts and Design Shape
The O’Level requirement fixes English Language, Fine Art and Mathematics, then asks for two further subjects from a broad list.
That list reaches well beyond the arts. History or Government, Chemistry or Physical Science, Biology or Agricultural Science, Literature in English, Clothing and Textiles, Religious Knowledge, Economics or Commerce, Geography and Home Economics all count.
Clothing and Textiles and Home Economics are worth noting in particular, since few departments recognise them and both sit naturally alongside a design portfolio.
On the JAMB side, Fine Art and English Language are compulsory, with three more papers drawn from History, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and a Nigerian language.
Mathematics appears in both lists, so a candidate who holds the credit can also use it as a UTME paper and keep the two sets of results aligned.
Plan for the departmental mark of 175 rather than the 150 polytechnic minimum, and make certain your Fine Art credit is in place before you register.
