The University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka, has published the admission requirements for its Department of Biochemistry, covering the O’Level subject combination, the JAMB UTME papers, the university cut-off and the departmental mark.
One condition on this page applies to Biochemistry specifically. The five O’Level credits must be obtained at no more than two sittings, which rules out building a result slip across three or four attempts.
The score position is also worth noting early. UNN sets a general cut-off of 200, while Biochemistry requires 220 in the school UTME screening exercise.

The Two Sittings Rule in UNN Biochemistry
The sittings limit is the condition most likely to catch a candidate out. Five credit passes across two sittings is acceptable, three sittings is not, however strong the individual grades may be.
The subjects named are English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science. Biology and Agricultural Science are offered as alternatives to each other in that list.
The JAMB papers are Use of English, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Note that Biology is named outright here, with no Agricultural Science alternative on the UTME side.
Candidates relying on Agricultural Science at O’Level should therefore still prepare Biology as a JAMB subject, since the two lists differ on that point.
Finally the scores. Clear 200 in JAMB for UNN, then 220 in the screening exercise for Biochemistry, and make sure your credits sit within the two sitting limit before you apply.
