This article is designed to help students who wish to study Agriculture at Lagos State University in the Faculty of Agriculture.
Confirm that Agriculture is still listed at LASU before you register for JAMB. This post sets out the O Level credits, the Direct Entry conditions and the minimum JAMB score required.
Lagos State University, also known as LASU, was established in 1983 by the enabling Law of Lagos State of Nigeria to advance learning and establish academic excellence. The university caters to a population of over 35,000 students enrolled full-time.
The university also offers courses at Diploma, Undergraduate, and Postgraduate levels. Lagos State University is in Ojo, a town in Lagos State, Nigeria. LASU is the only state university in the former British colony.
Lagos State University offers diploma, degree, and postgraduate programmes, including an MBA program.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Agriculture;
You require;
Five (5) SSC credit passes include English Language, Biology/Agricultural Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Geography, and Economics.
Seven subjects are listed for five credit places, so not all of them can be required at once. English Language, a biological subject and Chemistry are the ones that recur elsewhere in the post.
Biology and Agricultural Science are treated as interchangeable, which helps candidates who sat the agricultural paper rather than Biology.
Geography and Economics appearing on the same list is worth noting, since neither is a laboratory science and both widen the course considerably.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Agriculture if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require; Two (2) A-level passes in Chemistry and one from Biology/Botany/Zoology/ Agricultural Science, Economics, Physics, Geography, and Geology/Mathematics (Pure & Applied).
Direct Entry makes Chemistry compulsory and leaves the second pass wide open. Botany, Zoology, Geology and Mathematics all appear here alongside the subjects named at O Level.
That makes Chemistry the single subject you cannot avoid on this route, whatever your other strengths.
