Annually, several candidates sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Subject combinations are essential in tandem with the intended courses any candidate might want to study.
Making a wrong combination of subjects could jeopardise your chances of gaining higher education admissions even if you are of the high scorers in the UTME.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) annually publishes the requirements for various courses in its brochure. You might always want to refer to that prior to completing your registration process.
Below is the list of subject combinations for candidates intending to study various courses at universities, colleges of education and polytechnics.
