Business Administration at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK) is built around two named subjects, Mathematics and Economics, with a wide list of commercial and social science papers accepted around them.
The lists differ between stages. A subject accepted at O’Level is not automatically accepted at Direct Entry, so each route needs to be read separately before you commit to a combination.

Confirm that Business Administration appears on the current NSUK course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly. A course entered in error cannot be assessed against the conditions set out below.

Reading the NSUK Business Administration Subject Lists
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes including English Language, Mathematics and Economics, plus any two of Business Methods, Accounting, Commerce, Geography, Government and Statistics.
That is a generous list for a commercial course. A candidate from a business studies background at secondary school will usually find two acceptable papers without difficulty.
The UTME combination is much shorter. English Language is compulsory, Mathematics and Economics are named, and the third subject is left entirely open.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ level passes chosen from Economics, Geography, Government, Business Management, Accounts or Statistics. Business Methods and Commerce appear at O’Level but not here.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at NSUK.
