Admission requirements for the Department of Forestry and Wildlife at the University of Calabar have been published. They cover the O’Level credits, the JAMB UTME papers, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score.
Chemistry and Biology are the two constants here. Both are named at O’Level, both appear in the JAMB combination, and both are required for the Direct Entry route.
Where the lists differ is interesting. Agricultural Science is accepted in place of Biology at UTME and for Direct Entry, but the O’Level list names Biology alone.

Where Biology and Agricultural Science Part Ways at UNICAL Forestry and Wildlife
The O’Level requirement is five credits. English Language, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology are fixed, and the fifth comes from Physics, Economics, Further Mathematics or Statistics.
Note that Biology is named there without alternatives. A candidate who studied Agricultural Science instead will satisfy the UTME rule but not this one.
The JAMB papers are English Language, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science, and then Physics or Mathematics. Both of those last two are already in your O’Level set.
Direct Entry asks for two A level passes in Chemistry and one of Biology, Agricultural Science, Zoology or Botany, which is the broadest of the three lists.
The UNICAL JAMB threshold is 150 and above for any department. Check your Biology credit first, since it is the one requirement the O’Level list will not substitute.
