FUNAAB operates a strictly tiered cut-off system. Core Agriculture and Environmental courses require 160. Mid-tier courses (like Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, and Entrepreneurial Studies) require 180. Premium programs including Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, Computing Sciences (Computer Science, Cyber Security, Software Engineering), Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Nutrition & Dietetics strictly require a minimum of 200.
Post-UTME Form

Est. Tuition
₦80k - ₦210k
As a Federal University, pure tuition is theoretically free for undergraduate Nigerian students. However, students pay consolidated school charges covering laboratory, ICT, municipal, and special departmental levies. Returning student fees sit on the lower end of the spectrum. Freshmen, particularly those in Engineering and Veterinary Medicine, pay significantly higher consolidated fees due to mandatory onboarding levies, special training charges, and biometric ID cards.

Overview
The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) is one of Nigeria's three specialized federal universities of agriculture. Established in 1988, FUNAAB has grown into a top-tier institution renowned for its massive contributions to agricultural research, engineering, and the sciences. The university operates a unique academic structure, utilizing 'Colleges' instead of traditional 'Faculties'. Recently, FUNAAB has aggressively expanded its technological footprint, launching comprehensive Computing Science programs including Cyber Security, Data Science, and Software Engineering, alongside its prestigious College of Veterinary Medicine (COLVET).
Located on a massive, lush green permanent campus along Alabata Road in Abeokuta, Ogun State, FUNAAB offers a highly serene and secure environment ideal for focused academic work. The university is known for its rigorous practical training, mandatory farm practical years (FPY), and active student unionism. Students engage heavily in sports and campus enterprise, supported by highly digitized portals for fee payments, online screening, and library registrations.
💡 Pro Tip: Admission into FUNAAB is highly competitive. You must make the university your First Choice in JAMB. FUNAAB operates a strictly tiered cut-off system: while 160 is acceptable for core Agriculture programs, courses like Computer Science, Engineering, and Veterinary Medicine strictly require scores of 200 and above. FUNAAB uses an online aggregate grading system that factors in both your JAMB score and O'Level grades, meaning excellent WAEC/NECO results provide a massive advantage. Remember that uploading your O'Level results to JAMB CAPS is mandatory. Direct Entry candidates must not forget to mail their official transcripts to the Registrar to avoid disqualification.
Admission Requirements
Direct Entry Rules
Direct Entry candidates must possess a minimum of Upper Credit (OND/HND), a Credit in NCE, or acceptable A'Level passes. Crucially, DE candidates must ensure their official transcripts (for OND/HND/NCE) or stamped Certified True Copies of results (for A'Level) are forwarded directly to the FUNAAB Registrar before the stipulated screening deadline, or they will not be considered.
Post UTME Screening Format
FUNAAB currently uses a composite grading system via an online document screening process rather than a physical CBT exam. Candidates are evaluated based on an aggregate algorithm combining their UTME score and O'Level grades. Uploading O'Level results to the JAMB CAPS portal is strictly mandatory.
