Umaru Musa Yar’adua University (UMYU) checks every candidate’s UTME subject combination against the course the candidate applied for. Candidates whose combination does not match their course are flagged on a list the university publishes from time to time.
UMYU has not published a confirmed, current link to this list for the 2026/2027 session. Do not assume last session’s list still applies. Check the university’s own admission page directly before drawing any conclusion about your own result.
University management has stated that candidates with the wrong subject combination do not meet the criteria for the course they applied for. JAMB checks subject combinations against each course’s published requirements, so a mismatch at that stage is treated as a genuine eligibility problem, not a small paperwork issue.
This kind of mismatch usually happens when a candidate selects a course on the JAMB portal without first confirming the exact subjects that course demands. It can also happen when a candidate changes a course choice late without updating the subject combination to match.
UMYU is simply flagging the gap between the two so it can be corrected before admission processing moves forward.
Candidates whose names appear on (https://umyu.edu.ng/list-of-candidates-with-wrong-utme-subject-combinations/) do not meet the required UTME subject combinations for the programmes they applied for.
They are advised to go through the University’s Admission requirements (view admission requirement) to confirm exactly which subjects their intended course requires before taking any further step.
Candidates who are interested in changing their courses are welcome, provided they are sure they have the minimum requirements for the new programme. UMYU treats this as a straightforward correction rather than a setback, as long as the new course genuinely matches the subjects already sat.

What To Do If Your Name Is On The UMYU Mismatch List
Finding your name on this list is not a rejection. It simply means the subject combination tied to your UTME registration does not match the course UMYU admitted you for or that you applied to.
The fix is to change your course to one whose subject requirements match what you actually sat for, using the admission requirements page above as your guide, then confirm the change went through before resumption.
Since UMYU has not shared a fresh, confirmed link specific to the 2026/2027 session, treat the steps above as the standing procedure and verify your own status directly on the university’s admission page rather than relying on a screenshot or a forwarded message from someone else.
