The University of Calabar has published the admission requirements for its Department of Food Science & Technology, covering the O’level credits, the UTME subject combination, two direct entry routes and the JAMB score the university applies.
Food Science and Technology is a laboratory based programme, and the conditions follow that. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are named at O’level alongside English Language, with the fifth credit left to any other science subject.
The UTME combination given below is Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology, which differs from the O’level list in both its treatment of Biology and its treatment of English Language.
Direct entry offers two routes, one through A level passes and one through an upper credit ND or HND. Each condition appears below in the department’s own wording.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.

O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Food Science & Technology include the following: Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- English Language, and any other Science subject
Four credits are named and the fifth is any other science subject, which usually means Biology or Agricultural Science on a Nigerian result sheet.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Biology
English Language is not listed among these four, although it appears in the O’level condition. Check the combination against the current JAMB brochure before you register, since the paper is normally compulsory.
Direct Entry Requirement For Food Science & Technology
Below is the Direct Entry Requirement for Food Science & Technology:
- ‘A’ level passes in two (2) of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
- ND/HND upper credit in relevant programmes
The two bullets are alternatives. Any two of those three A level subjects satisfy the first, while the second turns on an upper credit classification in a relevant programme.
JAMB Score
For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Calabar, the Candidate must score 150 and above in JAMB.
The mark covers every department at the university. Reaching it makes your application eligible for consideration rather than securing a place in this one.
Checking the UNICAL Food Science and Technology Lists
The O’level side is settled: five credits including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English Language, with one further science subject completing the set.
The UTME combination is the part to verify, since English Language does not appear among the four subjects listed. Confirm it with JAMB or the department before registration.
Candidates with A level passes or an upper credit ND or HND should weigh the direct entry route, and everyone should check the 150 mark is still current.
