What is Agriculture? Why do candidates go for Agriculture? is it the passion for the course or the intentional evasion of Mathematics and other calculation courses? what is the reason for the increase in the search for universities that offer Agriculture? The above questions are still lingering in the minds of many till date.
Truth be told, some students choose courses based on the JAMB approved subject combination requirements and information gotten from people as regards the schools that offer the course. Agriculture is selected in a bid to evade any subject that involves calculations. many student look for courses like Agriculture, Sociology, Law and some Art related courses that do not require mathematics.
In this post, you will see the list of schools that offer Agriculture, the subject combinations, cut off mark as well as the entry requirements for the course.
