This is a technology course without a science requirement. The UTME papers are Mathematics, Economics and either Accounting, Commerce or Government, all sitting beside the compulsory English Language.
No laboratory subject appears anywhere on the page, so candidates from a commercial background are on equal footing here, which is unusual within this university.
