Igbo at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike, University of Ibadan and Other Schools: Admission Requirements Compared
Contents
The JAMB admission information lists Igbo under Arts/Humanities and names several institutions for the programme. While the general entry conditions are shared across the course listing, the brochure also contains institution-specific special considerations that candidates should not overlook.
General Requirement for the Course
The general Igbo entry requires five SSCE credit passes including Igbo, English Language and another Arts subject. The UTME combination is Igbo and two subjects from Arts and Social Sciences.
Direct Entry
The general Direct Entry route consists of two A' Level passes in Igbo and one Arts/Social Sciences subject or NCE in Igbo and one Arts subject.
Institutions Listed for Igbo
- Abia State University (ABSU)
- Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU)

Institution-Specific Conditions Worth Noting
University of Ibadan has a specific Direct Entry consideration involving NCE merit/credit in Igbo and another Arts or Social Sciences subject, as well as the stated A' Level route involving Yoruba.
The special-consideration section also records conditions for IMSU, UNN and LAGOS. Candidates should note that these names and conditions appear in the special-consideration text, while IMSU and UNN are not listed in the awarding-institutions list under the exact Igbo heading. The course listing itself should therefore be used when determining which schools are officially listed for Igbo in this brochure.
Why Candidates Should Check the Exact Entry
The Arts/Humanities section contains several closely related programmes, including Igbo/Linguistics and Linguistics, Igbo and Other African Languages. Their requirements and school lists are separate.
Before Making Your Choice
When applying, candidates should verify the exact course title, institution and institution-specific admission condition. This prevents requirements belonging to a related programme from being used for Igbo.
