Where UNN Accountancy Applicants Should Focus
The O’Level requirement is five credit passes including English Language, Mathematics and Economics, plus two relevant subjects. NBC holders have those two spelled out as Principles of Accounts, Commerce, Office Practice and Secretarial Duties.
In UTME you sit English Language, Mathematics, Economics and one further social science subject. That last slot is open, so choose the subject you scored best in rather than the one that looks most related to accounting.
Accountancy at Nsukka is heavily subscribed, and UNN sets its screening threshold at 200 in JAMB. Direct Entry candidates bypass that score but need two A Level passes from Economics, Accounting, Business Management, Government and Geography.
