The management of the University Of Ibadan (UI) has published the admission requirements for its Department of Statistics, covering the O’level subjects, the UTME combination, the university JAMB cut-off and the departmental screening mark.
English Language and Mathematics are the only compulsory subjects here. Everything else comes from a set of five, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics and Geography, which gives science candidates several workable combinations.
Economics gets a particular mention in the O’level condition. It is counted as the sixth subject rather than as one of the three optional ones, which is a detail worth reading twice.
Both cut-off marks stand at 200, one in JAMB and one in the UI screening exercise, and they are assessed separately from each other.
The admission requirements consist of O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.

O’level Subject Combinations
Candidates who wish to study Statistics at the University Of Ibadan (UI) must possess Five ‘O’ level subjects in one sitting or 6 ‘O’ level subjects in two sittings, including English Language, Mathematics and any other three subjects from the following:
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics or Geography. Economics will be counted as the 6th subject.
Read the last sentence carefully. Economics does not fill one of the three optional places, it sits in the sixth slot that applies when your results come from two sittings.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
English Language, Mathematics and any of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics or Geography.
With English Language and Mathematics fixed, two papers remain to be chosen from that list of five. Geography and Further Mathematics are often overlooked, and both are fully accepted.
UI JAMB Cut-Off Mark
Generally, For any candidate to be admitted into the University Of Ibadan (UI) for any course, the candidate must score 200 and above in jamb. That is to say that the University Of Ibadan (UI) JAMB Cut-Off mark is 200.
The figure is a university condition rather than a departmental one. Clearing it is what makes your application eligible for the next stage of the process.
UI Department Of Statistics Departmental Cut-Off Mark
The UI Department of Statistics Departmental Cut Off Mark is 200. That is to say that, Candidates who seek admission to the University Of Ibadan (UI) Department of Statistics must score 200 and above in the school UTME Screening exercise.
The same number appears twice, but it is earned twice. One score comes from JAMB, the other from the screening exercise UI conducts afterwards.
Choosing Your Optional Subjects for UI Statistics
With only English Language and Mathematics compulsory, the real decision is which subjects fill the remaining places from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics and Geography.
Make that choice on the basis of your own strongest results, and keep the Economics provision in mind if your O’level credits come from two sittings rather than one.
Then plan for both marks of 200, and confirm the current requirements with UI before registering, since the university revises them between admission cycles.
