French at the University Of Ibadan (UI) is entered through Literature in English rather than through the French language itself. No French paper is named anywhere in the published requirements.
That puts the course within reach of any candidate with a solid Arts background at secondary school. The language is taught from the start of the programme.
Two separate marks apply, and they are not the same figure. The university wide cut-off and the departmental cut-off are both given below.
