Admission requirements for the Department of Business Administration at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) are published below, covering the O’Level credits, the four JAMB UTME papers, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score needed for screening.
Mathematics and Economics do most of the work here. Both are named O’Level credits and both are named JAMB papers, while Economics appears again at the head of the Direct Entry list.
Confirm the course is listed under UNIABUJA on the current JAMB brochure before you register. School and departmental cut-off marks are applied after screening, so the score below is only the point at which your file is considered.

About the University of Abuja
The University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), a dual-mode institution with the authority to administer conventional and distance learning academic programs, was founded on January 1st, 1988.
At its inception, it was the first university in the country to take on such a dual mandate. The Vision of the University is to develop an institution of higher learning that combines academic excellence with the pursuit of the unity of Nigeria.
The Commercial Subjects That Carry UNIABUJA Business Administration
Your five O’Level credits break into two parts. English Language, Mathematics and Economics are compulsory, and two further credits come from Accounting, Business Methods, Commerce, Government, Geography and Statistics.
That second group is worth planning deliberately. Choosing two subjects that also appear in the Direct Entry list keeps a second route open if your UTME score falls short in a given year.
JAMB asks for four papers. English Language, Mathematics and Economics are fixed, and the fourth is left open, so any subject you are strong in can fill it.
Direct Entry needs two A level passes chosen from Economics, Accounts, Business Management, Government, Geography or Statistics. On either route the JAMB score must reach 180 before UNIABUJA will treat you as eligible for screening.
