Home and Rural Economics is offered under the Faculty of Administration at Federal Polytechnic, Oko (OKOPOLY). This page covers the O’Level subject combination, the UTME subjects and the JAMB score the polytechnic requires.
The O’Level list is built around credit passes in English Language and Mathematics, with three further subjects drawn from a wide group spanning the social sciences, languages, commercial subjects and Clothing and Textiles.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in OKOPOLY to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
The polytechnic is situated within Oko town in Orumba North Local Government of Anambra State.
The kernel of what eventually became the polytechnic was the brainchild of the Oko Progressive Union (OPU), greatly catalysed by the patronage, resourcefulness and result-oriented leadership of its pioneer chairman, a former Executive Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ekwueme.
The institution is strategically located and surrounded by several centres of industries, commerce and diverse local crafts such as Awka (well known for blacksmith/iron works), Nnewi (Industry and technological products) and Onitsha and Aba (reputed for Commerce and Industries).
The climatic condition of the host community ranges between 28 and 42 degrees centigrade.
It is one of Nigeria’s fastest-developing tertiary institutions with a highly futuristic disposition. It has a functional memorandum of understanding with universities within and outside the country. The Polytechnic has three campuses.
- The main campus at Oko occupies a total land area of 89 hectares.
- Ufuma campus: This occupies a total land area of 52 hectares.
- Atani campus: This occupies a total area of 40 hectares.

Why the OKOPOLY Home and Rural Economics Lists Differ
The O’Level options for this course are mostly arts and commercial subjects, including Government, Business Methods, Economics or Commerce, Religious Knowledge, any Nigerian Language, Geography, Bookkeeping and Principles of Accounts, History, and Clothing and Textiles.
The UTME combination asks for something different. Alongside the compulsory English Language you sit Biology, Agricultural Science and any other subject, which is a science pairing rather than a commercial one.
Candidates should prepare for both rather than assuming the two lists match. A JAMB score of 100 or above makes you eligible for screening at Oko, with the departmental cut-off published separately each session.
