Admission Requirements For Fisheries & Aquaculture in Nigerian Universities

If you choose to consider Fisheries & Aquaculture in JAMB UTME/DE or while changing institutions/courses, you'll want to know what the admission requirements are.

With this, you want answers to three questions depending on your own concerns. As a UTME candidate, you want to know:

1. The JAMB subject combination for Fisheries & Aquaculture and 
2. SSCE (O'level) subject requirement for it.

As Direct Entry (DE) applicant, you want to know, aside from the O'level requirements, which concern you too, what the A'level, NCE, ND, HND, or BSC required for Fisheries & Aquaculture.

In this post, using the official JAMB brochure, I'll be giving you the official admission requirements for ALL universities that are offering Fisheries & Aquaculture.

First, The General JAMB Requirement for Fisheries and Aquaculture

According to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), candidates seeking admission into Fisheries & Aquaculture must have the following.

1. Direct Entry (DE) Applicants: (i) Two (2) A'level passes in Chemistry and Biology.(ii) NCE/ND/HND credit in Biology or Agricultural Science for 200 level.
2. SSCE/DE Applicants: Five (5) SSC credit passes in English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and any other subject. O level pass in Physics is required.
   
3. JAMB subject Combination: English, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics or Physics.

With the stated conditions above, if a student should follow, the university proposed should admit him or her provided you meet other admission conditions.

Second, The Specific Requirement By A Few Universities Offering Fisheries and Aquaculture

To prove this further and show you if any difference in what each university may ask for, let's sample three of the universities - federal, state, and private. The sample universities DE, SSCE, and JAMB subjects are numbered 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
