The management of the University Of Ibadan (UI) has published the admission requirements for its Department of Zoology, covering the O’level subjects, the UTME combination, the university JAMB cut-off and the departmental screening mark.
Zoology asks for a full science profile at O’level. English Language, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry are all named, with the remaining credits drawn from other science subjects.
The UTME combination is looser in one respect and stricter in another. Only English Language and Biology are fixed, but Agricultural Science is specifically excluded from the two remaining papers.
Two cut-off marks of 200 then apply, one in JAMB and one in the screening exercise UI conducts separately afterwards.
The admission requirements consist of O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.

Four subjects are named outright. The number of further science credits you need depends on whether your results come from one sitting or two, since the second option raises the total to six.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
English Language, Biology and two other Science subjects, excluding Agricultural Science.
The exclusion is the detail to note. Candidates who intended to register Agricultural Science as a fourth paper will need Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics in its place.
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.
This condition covers every department at the university. It decides whether your application is considered at all, and no combination of strong O’level results compensates for missing it.
UI Department Of Zoology Departmental Cut-Off Mark
The UI Department of Zoology Departmental Cut Off Mark is 200. That is to say that, Candidates who seek admission to the University Of Ibadan (UI) Department of Zoology must score 200 and above in the school UTME Screening exercise.
The screening exercise is run by UI after JAMB results are released. Both scores of 200 have to be reached, and clearing the first says nothing about the second.
The Agricultural Science Exclusion in UI Zoology
For a course about animal life, the most surprising rule here is that Agricultural Science cannot be used in the UTME combination. Plan your four papers around that from the start.
At O’level, make sure English Language, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry are all credited, and count your total against the sitting pattern that applies to your results.
Then prepare for both marks of 200, and confirm the current requirements with UI before you register, since they are reviewed between admission cycles.
