Pharmacognosy and Traditional Medicine is offered at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), and admission into it is decided by three measures taken together: the O’level credits you hold, the four subjects you register in JAMB, and the mark you earn in the school post-UTME.
The department sits firmly on the science side, so every subject condition below is a science one. There is no optional slot anywhere in either list, which makes the requirements easier to check but harder to work around.
Two separate scores are involved as well, a JAMB figure and a post-UTME figure, and they are not interchangeable. Each section below deals with one of them in turn.

Unizik Department Of Pharmacognosy And Traditional Medicine Admission Requirements
O’level Subject Combination
Candidates must possess five (5) O’ level credits, including English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, and physics, obtained at least two sittings.
All five subjects are named, so there is nothing to substitute. The two sitting limit applies to the set as a whole, which means a third attempt at any one of the five puts the whole combination outside the requirement.
JAMB Subject Combinations
Candidates who wish to study Pharmacognosy And Traditional Medicine at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) will write the following four (4) subjects in Jamb.
Use of English, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry
This combination mirrors the O’level list, minus Mathematics. Candidates who register Mathematics as a fourth UTME paper in place of Physics, Biology or Chemistry will not satisfy the department, whatever their total comes to.
Unizik Jamb Score
Generally, For any candidate to be considered for admission in the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), the candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.
This 200 applies across the university rather than to this department alone. Clearing it keeps your application alive, but it does not place you in Pharmacognosy and Traditional Medicine on its own.
UNIZIK Pharmacognosy And Traditional Medicine Departmental Cut-Off Mark
To be offered admission to the UNIZIK Department of Pharmacognosy And Traditional Medicine, the candidate must score 220 and above in the school post-UTME examination.
Note the gap between the two figures. The departmental mark of 220 is set higher than the university JAMB floor of 200, and it is measured in a different examination conducted by the school itself.
Where UNIZIK Pharmacognosy Applicants Usually Fall Short
Most candidates who miss out here do so on one of two counts: an O’level combination completed over three sittings, or a post-UTME score that clears 200 but not the 220 the department asks for.
Check both before you commit. Your sitting record is fixed by the time you apply, so if it already falls outside the limit, resitting the full combination is the only route back into contention.
Figures of this kind are reviewed by the university from one session to the next. Confirm the current O’level, JAMB and post-UTME requirements through UNIZIK directly before you finalise your choice of course.
