The University Of Ibadan (UI) has published the admission requirements for its Department of Chemistry, setting out the O’level subjects expected, the UTME combination, the university JAMB cut-off and the departmental screening mark.
The O’level condition here is worded differently from most. UI gives two ways to satisfy it, five subjects at a single sitting or six across two sittings, which is worth understanding before you count your results.
Two separate marks of 200 also apply, one for JAMB and one for the departmental screening. They happen to be the same figure, but they are measured in different exercises.
The admission requirements consist of O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
UI Department Of Chemistry Admission Requirements
O’level Subject Combinations
Candidates who wish to study Chemistry at the University Of Ibadan (UI) must possess Five ‘O’ level subjects at one sitting or 6 ‘O’ level subjects in 2 sittings, including English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and any subject as the 6th subject.
The second option asks for an extra subject as the price of using two sittings. A candidate spreading results across two exams therefore needs six, not five, with the sixth left open.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
English Language, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, or Biology.
Read that as English Language, Chemistry and Physics, with a fourth paper that may be either Mathematics or Biology. Both are accepted, so choose on the strength of your own preparation.

What UI Chemistry Applicants Need in Place
Three things decide this application: an O’level profile that fits one of the two accepted patterns, the four UTME subjects with Mathematics or Biology as the fourth, and 200 in JAMB.
Then comes the screening mark, also 200, which is the stage many applicants underestimate because it carries the same number as the JAMB cut-off.
UI reviews these conditions between admission cycles, so confirm the current figures through the university before you treat Chemistry as a settled choice on your form.
