The NBC Route Into UNICAL Public Administration
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credit passes, with English Language, Economics and Government named outright. Two further relevant subjects complete the set.
For NBC holders those two are spelled out. Accounting, Principles of Accounts, Commerce, Office Practice and Secretarial Duties all count, which is a clearer steer than most departments give.
The JAMB combination is four papers. English Language, Government and Economics are fixed, and the fourth is any other subject, so you are free to use a strength.
Direct Entry asks for two A level passes chosen from Economics, Accounting, Business Management, Government, Geography and Statistics.
The UNICAL JAMB threshold is 150 and above for any department. Secure your Economics and Government credits first, because every route on this page assumes both of them.
