JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB.
- English Language.
- Any three (3) subjects
The UTME combination places no restriction on your other three subjects, so you can carry whichever ones you performed best in at secondary level.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Guidance and Counseling if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- ‘A’ Level passes or NCE in two (2) subjects plus the UTME requirements.
