This article is designed for students who wish to study Science Laboratory Technology under the Faculty of Sciences at Osun State Polytechnic (OSPOLY).
The programme runs to Higher National Diploma level. Confirm that Science Laboratory Technology is still listed at OSPOLY before you register for JAMB, since the subject list is long and easy to misread.
Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, also known as OSPOLY, is a tertiary learning institution in Iree, Osun State, Nigeria. The Polytechnic was formerly a satellite campus of The Polytechnic, Ibadan.
It became autonomous on 12 October 1992 when the Governor of Osun State, Alhaji, Isiaka Adeleke, signed the law establishing the institution alongside The Osun State College of Technology located at Esa-Oke in Osun State.
Osun State Polytechnic Iree also has Daily Part-Time Program (DPT) which is located at the Koko campus.
To study Science Laboratory Technology, candidates must meet the following requirements.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Science Laboratory Technology, You require;
- Mathematics and two subjects from:
- Physics,
- Biology/Agricultural Science/Health Science,
- Chemistry,
- And two other subjects from Technical Drawing,
- Metal or Wood Work, Basic Electricity,
- Geography,
- Further Mathematics,
- and Fine Art.
- At least a credit pass in each of the three basic sciences – Biology,
- Chemistry,
- Physics and a credit pass in English Language are compulsory.
Read as a whole, this list asks for Mathematics, two of the three basic sciences and two further subjects from the technical group, with English Language compulsory.
The closing clause then raises the bar considerably, requiring credits in all three of Biology, Chemistry and Physics rather than two of them.
Taken together with Mathematics and English Language, that leaves no genuinely open credit, so the technical group is effectively a reserve list.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course. Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Science Laboratory Technology under the Faculty of Sciences at OSPOLY include; Any three of Mathematics, Biology/Agricultural Science, or Physics.
The JAMB combination is far shorter, naming only Mathematics, Biology or Agricultural Science and Physics beside the compulsory English Language. Chemistry does not appear there at all.
