Economics at The Federal University, Kashere. is built on two named subjects. Economics and Mathematics appear together at O’Level, in the UTME combination and again at Direct Entry.
The third subject is described only as a social science or arts paper at the first two stages. Direct Entry is the only section that replaces that phrase with an actual list.
Confirm that Economics appears on the current FUKASHERE course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

The UTME combination repeats the pattern. English Language is compulsory, Economics and Mathematics are fixed, and the third subject may be any social science or arts paper.
