Sir, my sister has 212 in Jamb and wants to study Accounting or Business Administration but her subject combination in Jamb didn’t carry Economic only Maths, English Account & Commerce. Can she proceed to Unilesa to do change of Institutions?
Economics is compulsory for both courses. She will have to find another course that is compatible with her JAMB subject combination.
Another option would be to apply to another school that accept Accounting or Business Administration without Economics in JAMB.
