This article is designed to help students who wish to study Crop Production And Soil Science under the Faculty of Agriculture at Kaduna State University KASU.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in KASU to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
Chemistry is required on every route into this department, and Biology or Agricultural Science is accepted as a pair throughout. Mathematics appears on both subject lists as well.
Physics is treated differently from the rest. The Ordinary Level condition asks only for a pass in it, not a credit, which is a distinction worth noting before applying.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation resulted from the obvious and felt need to boost higher education in the State and the country in general.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Crop Production And Soil Science; You require;

Here Physics returns as a full alternative to Mathematics, so a candidate who only passed it at Ordinary Level can still offer it as a JAMB paper.
Direct Entry Requirement
You need to fulfill these conditions to gain Direct Entry admission to study Crop Production And Soil Science if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require; Two ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and Biology/Agric Science/Botany/Zoology or Physics/Mathematics/ Economics.
Chemistry is compulsory on that route, with the second Advanced Level pass drawn from a wide group spanning the life sciences, the physical sciences and Economics.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into KASU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.

Chemistry and the Physics Pass at KASU Crop Production
Chemistry is the subject that cannot be avoided, appearing in the credits, the JAMB papers and the direct entry condition without any alternative offered.
Read the Physics wording closely, because a pass is enough at Ordinary Level while the JAMB list treats the subject as a full alternative to Mathematics.
The Ordinary Level list does not name English Language, although the JAMB section calls it compulsory and every sibling KASU department requires the credit. Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) should confirm this with the Faculty of Agriculture or the current JAMB brochure.
