You must be a science student to study Soil Science and Technology in Nigeria Universities, and that’s can only be possible if you meet admission requirements. This page literally covers answers to questions related to O level and A-level requirement.

In other words, the WAEC subject combination (requirements), JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements), Special consideration (waivers) and the required documents for admission into Nigeria universities. In other to help you avoid having difficulties with getting admission in Nigeria Universities, we have some student guide articles that will be of benefit to you. You can ignore.

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Soil Science and Technology 

Knowing JAMB subjects for Soil Science and Technology is not enough. You should aim for a score of 180 – 200 and above in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just a piece of advice) because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider College of Education or Polytechnic… Please note – JAMB is not the only option for admission. If you’re having troubles JAMB UTME maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND, HND or Predegree!..

  1. Chemistry
  2. Biology
  3. Agricultural Science plus Mathematics or Physics

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Soil Science and Technology
Two ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry and one of Zoology/Botany/Agric Science/Biology, Geography, Mathematics, Physics, Geology, Economics and Health Science

If for some reasons you are not satisfied or cannot meet up with this admission requirement that is the subject combination above, perhaps you should consider other Soil Science and Technology  similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related course subject requirements.

  • The Environment
  • The Degree Certificate
  • Vulnerability to Strike

The cut-off mark for Soil Science and Technology 180. You can check these universities JAMB UTME cut off marks here. Soil Science and Technology is a good course and you can also check the top best Agricultural courses. This should not influence you. Follow your heart or seek my counsel.

Soil Science and Technology is how many years course and under which faculty?

Depending on your mode of entry, Soil Science and Technology is a three to four years course in Nigeria. According to JAMB, this course is under Faculty of Agriculture but may be under a different faculty in some universities.

Can a commercial or art student study Soil Science and Technology

No! Soil Science and Technology is a science course and not suitable for commercial or art student. But if you have required subject combination in your O level result, you can go for it if that is the course you desire to study. If you’re still in secondary school, you may find it difficult to change subjects during WAEC registration because your schools may go against it. The alternative way to write the required subjects combination for Soil Science and Technology is through GCE.
