The Polytechnic Ibadan has released the admission requirements for its Department of Urban and Regional Planning. Three things decide an application here, namely the O’level subject combination, the four papers written at JAMB UTME, and the cut-off marks set at both school and departmental level.
Geography is the subject that defines this course. It is required at O’level alongside Mathematics, and it is required again among the four UTME papers. Candidates who did not sit Geography have no alternative path listed for this department.
The supporting list is broad, though. It ranges from Fine Art and Technical Drawing through Physics and Chemistry to Principles of Accounting, so students from technical, science and commercial backgrounds can all build a valid combination.
This is to inform the general public that the admission requirements for the Department of Urban & Regional Planning 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.

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.
IBADANPOLY Urban and Regional Planning at the 150 Mark
This is one of the more reachable departments at the polytechnic on score alone. The general admission benchmark is 150 in JAMB, and the departmental cut-off mark for Urban and Regional Planning is also 150, so there is no higher bar layered on top.
That makes the subject combination the real filter rather than the score. Mathematics and Geography must both be in your O’level credits, and a credit pass in English Language is compulsory on top of them.
Before you register, line up your four UTME papers against the course requirement list above. English Language and Geography are fixed, and the other two have to come from that same published list rather than any subject you happen to hold.
