The Department of Agriculture admission requirements for the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) are set out below. They cover the O’Level subject combination, the JAMB UTME papers, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score needed for screening.
Agriculture at UNIABUJA is built on Chemistry and Biology or Agricultural Science. Both appear in the O’Level list, both are named JAMB papers, and Chemistry is compulsory again on the Direct Entry route.
Confirm the course is listed under UNIABUJA on the current JAMB brochure before you register. The departmental and school cut-off marks are applied after screening, so meeting the figures here is the starting point rather than the finish.

Checking Your File Against the UNIABUJA Agriculture Requirements
Start with O’Level. Five SSCE credit passes are required, drawn from English Language, Biology or Agricultural Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Geography and Economics, so there is real room to build the five around your strongest grades.
JAMB asks for four papers rather than three. English Language, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and then either Physics or Mathematics. That last choice is the only flexible slot in the combination.
Direct Entry candidates need two A level passes. Chemistry is fixed, and the second may come from Biology, Botany, Zoology, Agricultural Science, Economics, Physics, Geography, Geology or Mathematics in its pure and applied forms.
A JAMB score of 180 or above is what makes you eligible for screening. Confirm your Chemistry credit and your Biology or Agricultural Science credit before registration, since those two sit at the centre of every route into the department.
