The management of the University Of Ibadan (UI) has published the admission requirements for its Department of Economics, covering the O’level subjects, the UTME combination, the university JAMB cut-off and the departmental screening mark.
Three subjects are fixed at O’level: English Language, Mathematics and Economics itself. Everything else can come from the Arts, the Social Sciences or the Sciences, which keeps the course open to most applicants.
How many of those further subjects you need depends on your sittings. Two if your results come from one exam, three if they come from two, since the total rises from five to six.
Both cut-off marks sit at 200, one in JAMB and one in the UI screening exercise, and each is earned separately.
The admission requirements consist of O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
