Every admission season, thousands of high-scoring candidates lose their university admission offers during final clearance simply because they selected the wrong UTME or O'Level subject combination during JAMB registration.
Before you purchase your e-PIN or visit a CBT centre, verifying the exact requirements for your chosen course and university is the first step to securing admission.
Why Your Subject Combination Matters
Every degree, ND, or NCE course has specific O'Level credit requirements and four (4) mandatory UTME subjects. Even if you score 300+ in JAMB and make the merit list, no institution will clear you if your subjects do not match their departmental requirements in the official JAMB Brochure.
5 Things to Check in the JAMB Brochure Before Registering
- The exact list of universities, polytechnics, or colleges offering your preferred course.
- All courses accredited in your chosen institution.
- Whether your four (4) JAMB subjects match the special waiver or requirement of your chosen university.
- The compulsory five (5) O'Level credit passes required for the course.
- Special Direct Entry qualifications (for DE applicants).
Prepare Early for High UTME Scores
Once you confirm your correct four subjects, begin practicing immediately with the Mentra JAMB CBT app (available on both Android and iOS), which contains over 60,000 past questions, answers, and detailed explanations tailored to the official syllabus.
