About the programme
This interview assesses how well your previous qualification prepares you to enter a business administration degree beyond the first level. The panel looks for usable business knowledge, comfort with basic figures, thoughtful decisions and a practical plan for adapting to a new curriculum.
How to prepare
- Review your strongest business, accounting, economics and management modules.
- Practise interpreting simple information about sales, costs, cash flow and customer complaints.
- Prepare an example of a team decision where you used evidence rather than personal preference.
- Compare your previous course content with the new programme and identify likely gaps.
- Check JAMB and the institution's official information for current Direct Entry requirements.
Common mistakes
- Using business buzzwords without explaining what they mean in the situation.
- Confusing profit with cash available to pay immediate bills.
- Giving recommendations before asking for evidence about customers, costs and operations.
- Showing no plan for the increased independence expected in advanced undergraduate study.
