Why Choosing the Right and Correct JAMB Subject Combination for 2026 UTME is Important

• Choosing the right JAMB subject combination is the first requirement for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
• To qualify for 2026 admission and study your desired course, you must choose four (4) compulsory subjects approved by JAMB during the UTME registration exercise.
• You will be denied admission if you register for UTME or Direct Entry (DE) with wrong or incorrect subject combination.
• Thus, it is important to ensure that your selected four (4) subjects align with the requirements of your desired course.

How Many Subjects Are Required for JAMB?

When registering for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), you are only allowed to pick four (4) subjects.

English Language is COMPULSORY, and three other subjects related to your intended course and programme.
