Frequently asked questions
How many subjects do I register for the JAMB UTME?
Four. Use of English is compulsory for every course, plus three other subjects matched to your intended course.
Is English Language compulsory for all JAMB courses?
Yes. Every UTME candidate must register Use of English, regardless of course, plus three others for their course.
What happens if I choose the wrong JAMB subject combination?
You can be ruled ineligible and refused admission even with a high score, because universities check that your UTME subjects match the course. You cannot change subjects after registering.
Can the required subjects differ between universities for the same course?
Yes. Combinations here are the standard brochure requirements, but individual universities sometimes swap or add a subject. Always confirm your exact course and institution in the official JAMB brochure.
Where do I confirm the official JAMB subject combination for my course?
Use the official JAMB brochure at brochure.jamb.gov.ng, your CAPS profile, or your institution's admissions page. The brochure for your exact course and university takes precedence.
Can I change my JAMB subject combination after registration?
No. Once your UTME registration is submitted and paid, your four subjects are locked for that exam.
