Botany, Biotechnology and Plant Science are offered at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). This page sets out the O’Level credits for UTME candidates, the JAMB subject combination, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score.
UNILAG is a federal government research university in Lagos State, in south western Nigeria. It remains among the most competitive institutions in the country for admissions, and holds one of the largest student populations of any Nigerian university.

One set of requirements covers several programmes here. The Direct Entry heading names Botany, Plant Science, Biotechnology and Ecology together, so the same preparation serves all of them.
Biology and Chemistry are the two constants. They are compulsory O’Level credits, named JAMB papers, and they anchor the Direct Entry list as well.
O’Level Subject Combination
Below is the O’level Requirement for the above courses (UTME CANDIDATES)
- Five (5) SSC Credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

JAMB Score
For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Lagos, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.
One Subject Set for UNILAG Botany, Biotechnology and Plant Science
The O’Level requirement names all five credits. English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, with nothing left open.
The JAMB combination is a little freer. English Language, Biology and Chemistry are named, and the fourth paper may be any other Science subject.
Physics and Mathematics are the natural candidates for that fourth slot, since both are already compulsory credits and neither adds anything new to your workload.
Direct Entry asks for two A level passes, one from Biology, Botany or Zoology and the other from Chemistry or Physics. That route covers Ecology as well as the three courses in the title.
The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. Check all five O’Level credits before registering, because this course specifies every one of them.
