JAMB Score
For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Lagos, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.
Which Qualifications UNILAG Business Education Will Accept
The core requirement is five passes including English Language, Mathematics and Economics, plus two other subjects from the Social Sciences or Arts. Those five may come as TC II merits, O’Level credits, or NTC and NBC credit passes.
NBC holders have their own named list for the two remaining subjects. Commerce, Office Practice, Principles of Accounts, Secretarial Duties, Typewriting and Shorthand all count.
The JAMB combination is tighter. English Language, Mathematics and Economics are fixed, and the fourth paper comes from Literature in English, History, Government, Geography, Chemistry or Physics.
Direct Entry offers two options. Two A level passes or an NCE merit in two relevant subjects, or an NCE merit in Business Education as a double major.
The JAMB score required for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. Given how competitive admission here is, treat that as the minimum rather than a comfortable position.
