Entry Requirements
For Pre-ND/ND and HND pathways you need four (4) O'level credit passes at not more than two sittings, including Mathematics and English Language plus two subjects relevant to your chosen field (Chemistry, Biology, Agricultural Science, Food and Nutrition, Home Management, Geography or Economics). For full ND admission, sit the JAMB UTME, select College of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Lafia as your first choice, and note the college's own admission notice states a JAMB score of 100 and above is required — treat this as the college-stated minimum, not a guaranteed cut-off, and confirm the current figure on the official portal each admission cycle. HND applicants need a relevant National Diploma. Departmental cut-offs are often higher — always confirm with the school before paying anything.
