This is to notify the general public and all aspiring students of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) that the Department of Business Administration admission requirements has been published.
The sections below cover the O’Level credit passes, the four subjects sat in JAMB UTME, the Maiduguri waiver on those subjects, the A Level route into Direct Entry, and the JAMB score needed for screening.
Business Administration is a social science course built around Economics and Mathematics. Both are named among the five O’Level credits and both appear in the UTME combination alongside the compulsory English Language.
The supporting subjects come from a commercial and social science list that runs through the whole page, covering Accounting, Commerce, Business Methods, Government, Geography and Statistics in various places.
Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Business Administration include the following:
Five (5) SSCE credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, and Economics, plus any two (2) of Accounting, Business Methods, Commerce, Government, Geography, and Statistics.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
- English Language

Special Requirement (Waiver) Remarks
UNIMAID requires Mathematics, any of the Principles of Accounting/Commerce/Economics and any other Social Science subject.
This waiver is the line Maiduguri applies, and it opens up the second subject slot. Where the general combination fixes Economics, the department will also take Principles of Accounting or Commerce, with the fourth subject drawn from the social sciences.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfil to gain Direct Entry admission to study Business Administration if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;

Commercial Subjects and the UNIMAID Business Administration Offer
The O’Level requirement is five credit passes including English Language, Mathematics and Economics, plus two from Accounting, Business Methods, Commerce, Government, Geography and Statistics. Most commercial stream candidates will already hold that set.
For UTME, follow the waiver rather than the general line. Register English Language and Mathematics, then Principles of Accounting, Commerce or Economics, and one further social science subject.
Direct Entry needs two A Level passes chosen from Economics, Accounts, Business Management, Government, Geography and Statistics. UTME candidates need a JAMB score of at least 160, with the departmental cut-off checked separately for the session.
