PLAN SMART
One of the most important steps in your UTME registration is choosing the right subject combination and carefully selecting your first to fourth choice of institutions.

Why Subject Combination Matters:

Each course has specific subjects required for admission.

A wrong combination can automatically disqualify you, no matter your score.

Knowing the correct subjects ensures you’re eligible for your chosen course.

Why Your Choice of Institutions Matters:

Your first choice is usually your most preferred university/polytechnic.

The second, third and fourth choices give you backup options in case you don’t meet the cut-off mark for your first choice.

Smart selection increases your chances of securing admission.

Research your desired course and institution requirements before registering. Double-check subject combinations using the official JAMB brochure and be strategic with your institution choices.

Remember: Good planning now saves you stress later!
