If you are aiming for a spot at the University of Ibadan (UI) for the 2025/2026 school year, you need to be very careful with your course choices. UI is one of the most famous and respected schools in Nigeria, located in the heart of Oyo State.

Because the school is so highly rated, getting in is very competitive, and the admission process is quite strict. To stand a chance, you must make sure you have the right JAMB subject combination, the correct O Level results, and a score that meets the cut off mark for your department.

Before you even fill out your JAMB form, you should visit the official UI website at www.admissions.ui.edu.ng to confirm the rules for your chosen course.

Sometimes, the information on the JAMB brochure might be slightly different from what the university wants. In those cases, you should always follow what the university says to avoid any mistakes that could cost you your admission.

We will walk you through the full list of courses available and the specific requirements you need to meet to become a UI student.

Key Things to Check Before Applying

  • JAMB Subject Combination: Each course has four specific subjects you must sit for in your UTME. Using the wrong subjects will lead to automatic disqualification.

  • O Level Credits: Most courses require at least five credits, including English and Mathematics, in no more than two sittings.

  • Direct Entry (DE) Requirements: If you are applying with a Diploma or NCE, you must check the specific grade level UI accepts for your faculty.

Failure to meet any of these conditions may affect your chances of gaining admission.
