The Department of Banking and Finance at Federal Polytechnic Nekede sits under the School of Business and Management Technology, known on campus as SBAMT. This page sets out what the department asks for at both diploma levels.
The department runs three programmes, Morning, Evening and Weekend, and each is offered at National Diploma and Higher National Diploma level. The O’Level requirements are the same across all three.
One difference matters when you register. The UTME subject combination applies to Morning programme students only, so Evening and Weekend candidates are assessed on their O’Level results rather than a JAMB combination.

- Economics
- Business Methods
- Commerce
- Principle of Account/Accounting
- History

- ICT

About Federal Polytechnic Nekede
The Federal Polytechnic Nekede is one of the best in Nigeria and Africa. It’s located at Nekede Village in Owerri North Local Government of Imo State, Nigeria.
The school runs various programs, which include National Diploma (ND) (Morning, Evening, And Weekend) And Higher National Diploma (HND) (Morning, Evening, And Weekend).
Choosing the Right Nekede Banking and Finance Route
For the ND programmes, Mathematics and English Language are the two fixed credits. Beyond those, the department accepts a wide list that runs from Economics, Commerce and Principles of Accounts through Government and Literature in English to Statistics, Geography, Office Practice and ICT.
One science subject is also named, and Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Agricultural Science all count towards it. That breadth makes this one of the more accessible SBAMT departments for candidates from a mixed background.
Morning programme candidates additionally sit English Language, Mathematics, Commerce and Accounting or Principles of Accounts at UTME. Aligning those with your O’Level subjects keeps the two sets of results consistent.
HND entry is a separate matter. You need the ND entry requirements, plus a National Diploma in Banking and Finance from Nekede or a recognised institution at lower credit or better, meaning a CGPA of 2.50.
There is one concession below that. Nekede ND graduates holding a pass with a CGPA of at least 2.00 may apply after two years of post-ND cognate work experience, and that clause applies to Nekede graduates only.
