As the 2020 JAMB UTME/DE registration enters its second week, one of the most costly mistakes candidates make every year is registering the wrong UTME subject combination or applying for a course without the required O'Level credit passes.
Why Wrong Subject Combinations Disqualify High Scorers
Even if you score 300+ in the UTME, no university will admit you into a department if your four UTME subjects or five O'Level credits do not match the JAMB Brochure requirements for that specific institution—or worse, you will be disqualified during final physical clearance.
What You Must Check in the JAMB Brochure Before Registering
- The list of institutions offering your exact course of study.
- Whether your four UTME subjects match the special waiver/remarks of your chosen university.
- The five compulsory O'Level credit passes required for your course.
