This article is designed to help students who wish to study Banking and Finance 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.
Mathematics is the one subject this department names at both the Ordinary Level and JAMB stages. Economics joins it among the credits and reappears as a direct entry option.
Direct entry is unusually well provided for here, with four separate routes including professional foundation examinations such as ICAN and ACCA.
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.

Four Direct Entry Routes Into KASU Banking and Finance
Candidates who miss the UTME route have more options here than at most KASU departments, with Advanced Level passes, an NCE at merit, an ND at credit, or a professional foundation examination all accepted.

Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) should also ask which subjects count as relevant for the two open credits, and check their score against the 180 screening threshold.
