UTME and Direct Entry Requirements to Study Forestry and Wildlife

Now let us look at the main admission requirements.

If you want to study Forestry and Wildlife, you need to meet both the O’Level requirements and the JAMB UTME subject requirements.

Direct Entry candidates must also meet the required Direct Entry qualifications.

Direct Entry Requirement for Forestry and Wildlife

The Direct Entry requirement listed in the source material is:

• Two A’ Level passes in Chemistry and Biology, Agricultural Science, Zoology or Botany.

This is also consistent with JAMB brochure-based information for Forestry and Wildlife.

However, Direct Entry requirements can vary by institution.

Therefore, if you are applying through Direct Entry, check the specific requirements for your chosen university before submitting your application.

WAEC and O’Level Requirements for Forestry and Wildlife

The UTME O’Level requirement for Forestry and Wildlife is:

• Five SSCE credit passes in English Language
• Chemistry
• Mathematics
• Biology
• One of Physics, Economics, Further Mathematics or Statistics

In simple terms, you should have the required credits in the five subjects above.

The same O’Level pattern is listed in current JAMB brochure-based references for Forestry and Wildlife.

JAMB’s general admission guidance also requires five O’Level credit passes, including English Language, for first-degree admission.

Your WAEC/NECO subjects should therefore include:

1. English Language
2. Mathematics
3. Chemistry
4. Biology or the required science-related subject
5. One of Physics, Economics, Further Mathematics or Statistics

Note: Some universities may have special waivers. Do not assume that the same requirement applies to every university.

JAMB Subject Combination for Forestry and Wildlife

The correct JAMB UTME subject combination for Forestry and Wildlife is:

English Language, Chemistry, Biology/Agricultural Science, and Physics/Mathematics.

For the three subjects apart from English Language, JAMB brochure-based information gives:

• Chemistry
• Biology or Agricultural Science
• Physics or Mathematics

Example

If you choose Biology and Physics, your JAMB subjects will be:

• English Language
• Chemistry
• Biology
• Physics

You may also use:

• English Language
• Chemistry
• Agricultural Science
• Mathematics

The exact combination accepted can depend on the institution and any approved waiver.

University-Specific Waivers You Should Know

This is one of the most important parts of the article.

Although the general JAMB combination is:

Chemistry + Biology/Agricultural Science + Physics/Mathematics,

some universities have special requirements.

For example, brochure-based information lists special conditions for institutions such as IBBU, UDUSOK, UNILORIN, MAUTECH, FUAM and OOU.

Other brochure-based listings also show institution-specific variations for universities such as UNIPORT and OOU.

Therefore, do not rely only on a general subject combination if you already know the university you want to attend.

Check the university-specific requirement before you register.

You can also use the JAMB Brochure and JAMB’s IBASS Eligibility Checker to confirm your eligibility. JAMB’s IBASS system allows candidates to select their institution, programme, O’Level subjects and UTME subjects before checking eligibility.
