Mathematics, Physics and English Language are the three named credits, with two more drawn from a ten subject list that runs from Biology and Fine Art to Business Method.
The closing line is a recommendation rather than a rule. A pass in Fine Art or Technical Drawing helps an application but is not required.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics and any two of the following
- Physics

On the JAMB form English Language and Mathematics are compulsory, and two further papers come from Physics, Chemistry and Technical Drawing.
Technical Drawing is therefore a full option in JAMB while being only an advantage at O Level, and Physics is a required credit but merely one of three choices on the form.
