The Polytechnic Ibadan has published the admission requirements for its Department of Local Government Studies. An application is assessed on three things, namely the O’level subject combination, the four papers written at JAMB UTME, and the cut-off marks set at institution and departmental level.
English Language and Mathematics are the two fixed O’level subjects. Three more come from a long list that spans commercial papers such as Principles of Accounts, Office Practice, Typewriting and Shorthand, alongside Government, Geography, Literature in English and the sciences.
That breadth means candidates from commercial, arts and science backgrounds can all build a valid combination here, provided the two compulsory subjects are in place.
This is to inform the general public that the admission requirements for the Department of Local Government Studies at the Ibadan Polytechnic (IBADAN POLY) have been published.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.

Government or History at IBADANPOLY Local Government Studies
The UTME combination is tighter than the O’level one. Beyond English Language, you must present either Government or History, then two papers from Economics, Commerce, Geography and Mathematics.
A candidate who built a purely commercial combination at JAMB would therefore fall short, because neither Government nor History is optional in that list.
On scores, the department sits above the general bar. The institution admits from 150 in JAMB, while the departmental cut-off mark for Local Government Studies is 176.
Work to that higher number and confirm your four JAMB papers before registration closes. The O’level side gives you room to use subjects you already hold, so the UTME choice is usually the one that decides the outcome.
