We understand the importance of choosing the right subject combinations during JAMB registration. So we have compiled the JAMB Subject Combinations for all courses so candidates do not make mistakes. This has been grouped into JAMB subject combination for science courses, JAMB subject combination for art courses, and JAMB subject combination for Arts courses.
Please note that the English Language is a compulsory subject meaning you must sit for it during JAMB UTME. So regardless of your intended course of study, the English Language is automatically a part of your subject combination. You are only allowed to sit for four (4) subjects in UTME. That simply means you are to choose three other relevant subjects in addition to the English language making it four subjects.
