Agriculture and Bio-Resources Engineering is offered at the University Of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka. This page covers the O’Level credit passes, the UNN waiver remarks, the UTME subject combination, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score required for screening.
The O’Level list below is long because it accepts technical college subjects as well as the usual school certificate ones. The waiver remarks that follow it are shorter and stricter, and they are what the university actually applies.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
About UNN
The University of Nigeria was the first indigenous university in Nigeria to attain full-fledged and autonomous status. It was modelled after the American educational system. It is the first land-grant university in Africa and one of Nigeria’s five most reputed universities.
The University has 102 academic departments in 15 Faculties and offers 82 undergraduate and 211 postgraduate programs.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Agriculture and Bio-Resources Engineering are five SSCE (5) credit passes and should include:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Any of
- Introduction to Agricultural Science
- Materials & Workshop Process and Machining
- Tractor Layout Power Unit Under Carriage and Auto Electricity
- Transmission System
- Implement and Machine
- Principles of Crop Husbandry and Land Use
- Materials and Workshop Processes
- Construction and Maintenance of Agricultural Machines
- General Metal Work
- General Wood Work
- Building/Engineering Drawing.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
- UNN requires five O’ level credit passes to include Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in not more than two sittings.
- UNN requires ‘A’ level passes in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
These two remarks are the governing conditions at Nsukka. The first reduces the long O’Level list to Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics within the five credits, and adds a limit of two sittings, which the general list does not mention.
The second names three A Level subjects, while the Direct Entry section further down names only Physics and Mathematics. Candidates applying through Direct Entry should treat the waiver as the stricter reading and confirm the position with the department.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Agriculture and Bio-Resources Engineering are Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics.

Direct Entry Requirement
You need the following to gain Direct Entry admission to study Agriculture and Bio-Resources Engineering if you don’t intend to use UTME.
- A’ level passes or equivalent in Physics and Mathematics.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into UNN for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have a minimum score of 200 or above in your JAMB result.
Three Subjects Decide UNN Agriculture and Bio-Resources Engineering
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics run through every part of this requirement. They are named in the O’Level waiver, they make up the three UTME subjects alongside English Language, and they appear again in the A Level waiver remark.
The two sittings limit is worth planning around. A candidate who needs a third sitting to complete the five credits will not meet the UNN condition as written, even if the final combination of subjects is correct.
On top of the subjects, UNN sets its screening threshold at 200 in JAMB. That is higher than most federal universities ask for, so treat it as the working target rather than a formality once your subject combination is settled.
