Arts at UTME, Sciences at Direct Entry for ADSU Economics
The two later lists point in different directions. At UTME the third paper comes from Government, History, Geography, Literature in English, religious studies or French, all arts and social science options.
At Direct Entry the choice widens considerably, bringing in Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, Agriculture, Accounting and Business Management alongside Geography, History and Government.
Economics and Mathematics are the constants. Both are required at O’level, both appear at UTME, and Economics is named again as the first Direct Entry pass.
The two remaining O’level credits must be arts or social science subjects, so a science heavy result sheet needs checking carefully. Candidates need a minimum of 180 and above in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
