Economics at Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola is listed under the Faculty of Engineering, Environment & Technology. The requirements below are worth reading closely because the O’Level and UTME sides pull in different directions.
One asks for social science subjects around Economics, while the other offers a science subject in the third slot. Both conditions stand as written, and a candidate needs to satisfy each at its own stage.
Confirm that Economics appears on the current MAUTECH course list and that your JAMB registration names it correctly. A course entered in error cannot be matched against any of the conditions described here.

Two Different Subject Directions in MAUTECH Economics
At O’Level the requirement is five SSCE credits. English Language, Mathematics and Economics are named, and the remaining two must come from the social sciences, which keeps the WAEC or NECO side firmly in that field.
The UTME combination moves the other way. English Language is compulsory, Mathematics and Economics are fixed, and the third subject is drawn from Chemistry, Physics or Biology rather than from a social science.
Both lines govern their own stage, so there is no need to choose between them. A candidate presents social science credits to WAEC or NECO and a science subject in the UTME combination.
Direct Entry is stated loosely as two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in relevant subjects, with no list attached. Candidates on that route should confirm acceptability with the department rather than assume.
The JAMB screening threshold is 180 for the 2026/2027 session and applies before any of this is examined.
