Admission requirements for the Department of Agricultural Science and Education at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) are published below, covering the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME papers, three Direct Entry options and the JAMB score needed to reach screening.
This is a teaching degree with a science base, and the requirements reflect that. Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science and Mathematics all appear at O’Level, while the Direct Entry options lean on Biology and Agriculture qualifications.
Check the JAMB brochure first and confirm the course is still listed under UNIABUJA. School and departmental cut-off marks are applied after screening, so the figures here mark the entry point rather than the final bar.

About the University of Abuja
The University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), a dual-mode institution with the authority to administer conventional and distance learning academic programs, was founded on January 1st, 1988.
At its inception, it was the first university in the country to take on such a dual mandate. The Vision of the University is to develop an institution of higher learning that combines academic excellence with the pursuit of the unity of Nigeria.
Mapping Your Results to UNIABUJA Agricultural Science and Education
The O’Level requirement names four subjects and leaves one open. English Language, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science and Mathematics are fixed, and a further relevant subject completes the five credits.
JAMB asks for four papers. English Language is compulsory, and the remaining three may be drawn from Chemistry, Biology, Agriculture, Physics, Economics, Geography and Mathematics, which gives most science candidates a workable combination.
Direct Entry has three separate routes. Two A level passes in Biology, Zoology or Botany with any other Science subject, an NCE at merit level in Biology with another Science subject, or an NCE at merit level in Agriculture as a double major.
Whichever route applies, a JAMB score of 180 or above is the threshold for screening. Confirm your Chemistry and Biology or Agricultural Science credits before you register, because every route here assumes them.
