If you’re considering admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions, you’ll need to decide what JAMB subject and course is right for you. Below are the list of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Subjects and combinations approved for admission into Nigerian Institutions for UTME and Direct Entry Candidates to help you.
In our quest to make life easier for UTME and Direct Entry candidates, we have written so many posts on JAMB UTME and Direct Entry. So today, we compiled the list of subjects that science, commercial, engineering, social science, education and medical students must possess before proceeding to register for the 2020 JAMB UTME and Direct Entry.
As a matter of fact, choosing the right subjects is the first step to getting into a university. Your choice of institution and course will also depend on your O’level subjects. All candidates irrespective of their selected course of study must have credit in five relevant subjects in the appropriate WAEC/NECO/NABTEB/Teachers’ Grade II examination.
Hint: The credit in question should not be attained more than two sittings.
