This article is designed to help students who wish to study Accounting under the Faculty of Social & Management Sciences at Kaduna State University.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in KASU to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
Economics sits at the centre of this requirement. It is named among the Ordinary Level credits, in the JAMB combination and in the direct entry condition, with no alternative offered anywhere.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation resulted from the obvious and felt need to boost higher education in the State and the country in general.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Accounting;
You require;
Five (5) SSCE credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, Economics, and two (2) other relevant subjects.
Three credits are named and the remaining two are described only as relevant, so the department keeps some discretion over what it will accept.

JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course. Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Accounting under the Faculty of Social & Management Sciences in the above Universities include;
Mathematics, Economics, and any other Social Science subject.
English Language, Mathematics and Economics are therefore fixed, leaving only the fourth paper open and restricting it to a Social Science subject.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Accounting if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes, including Economics
Only one of the two Advanced Level passes is specified, which makes this route comparatively easy to satisfy for anyone holding Economics.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into KASU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
That score decides who is invited to the screening exercise. Meeting it does not by itself secure a place in the department.
Three Fixed Subjects for KASU Accounting
English Language, Mathematics and Economics are required at both the Ordinary Level and JAMB stages, which leaves a candidate very little to decide.
The direct entry route narrows further to Economics plus one unrestricted Advanced Level pass, so it suits applicants who already hold that subject.
Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) should confirm which subjects the faculty counts as relevant for the two open credits, and check their JAMB score against the 180 screening threshold.
