The Polytechnic Ibadan has published the admission requirements for its Department of Science Laboratory Technology. As elsewhere in the institution, an application turns on three things, namely the O’level subject combination, the four JAMB UTME papers, and the cut-off marks set at school and departmental level.
The O’level section is built in layers. Mathematics is fixed, two subjects come from a science group, and two more come from a technical group that includes Technical Drawing, Metal or Wood Work, Basic Electricity, Geography, Further Mathematics and Fine Art.
Underneath those layers sits a stricter line. Credit passes are required in all three basic sciences of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and a credit pass in English Language is compulsory as well.
This is to inform the general public that the admission requirements for the Department of Science Laboratory Technology 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.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Science Laboratory Technology include the following:
- Mathematics and two subjects from:
- Physics
- Biology/Agricultural Science/Health Science
- Chemistry
- And two more subjects from:
- Technical Drawing,
- Metal or Wood Work, Basic Electricity
- Geography
- Further Mathematics
- Fine Art
- At least a credit pass in each of the three basic sciences – Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and a credit pass English Language is compulsory.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language

- Chemistry
- Physics or Mathematics
JAMB Score

About The Polytechnic Ibadan
The Polytechnic, Ibadan, is an institution of higher learning in Ibadan in Oyo State, Nigeria.
The Polytechnic was established in 1970 as an institution dedicated to quality academics/education and research to create new approaches that could be applied in Science and Business.
Why 188 Decides IBADANPOLY Science Laboratory Technology
The institution admits candidates who score 150 and above in JAMB, but that figure is not the one this department works to. The cut-off mark for Science Laboratory Technology is 188, so there is a clear gap between being eligible and being competitive.
Measure your result against 188 before anything else. A score in the 150s satisfies the general rule yet still falls short of what this particular department has published.
On subjects, the UTME combination is fixed at English Language, Biology and Chemistry, with Physics or Mathematics in the fourth slot. Since the O’level line already demands credits in all three basic sciences, that fourth choice changes your JAMB registration rather than your result sheet.
