JAMB Activates Portal for Correction of Subject Combination

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially activated its portal for the correction of subject combinations for candidates who registered for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

This update comes as welcome news to thousands of candidates who may have mistakenly selected the wrong subjects during registration. Since subject combination plays a crucial role in determining admission eligibility into various courses and institutions, making the correct changes is extremely important.

Why Subject Combination Matters

Every course in Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education requires specific subject combinations. For example:

Law requires subjects like Government or Literature in English.

Medicine and Surgery requires Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

Engineering courses require Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

Selecting the wrong subjects can automatically disqualify a candidate from gaining admission into their desired course, even if they score high in the UTME.

Who Should Do the Correction?

You should visit a correction center if:

You mistakenly selected the wrong subject(s).

You recently changed your intended course and the new course requires a different subject combination.

You noticed an error after reviewing your registration slip.

How to Correct Your Subject Combination

JAMB has made it clear that corrections can only be done at accredited CBT centres. Candidates are advised to:

Visit the nearest accredited JAMB CBT centre.

Inform the officials about the subject combination correction.

Complete the correction process and print the updated slip for confirmation.

Do not attempt to make corrections through unauthorized agents to avoid scams or errors.

Important Advice to Candidates

Before making any changes, ensure you:

Confirm the correct subject requirements for your chosen course from the official JAMB brochure.

Double-check all details before final submission.

Keep a copy of your corrected registration slip.

This opportunity is crucial for candidates who want to secure their admission chances. If you made any mistake during registration, do not delay—visit an accredited CBT centre as soon as possible.

Stay informed, stay prepared, and take the right steps toward your academic success.
