Can I write a subject in JAMB that I did not write in WAEC?

In the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination, candidates often wonder if they can write a subject that they did not take in the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exam.

This question arises due to the different subjects offered by these two examination bodies.

It is important to note that JAMB and WAEC are separate entities with their own set of rules and requirements.

While WAEC is a regional examination body that conducts the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), JAMB is responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

In the context of JAMB, candidates are allowed to choose their preferred subjects based on the requirements of the course they intend to study.

This means that you can write a subject in JAMB that you did not take in WAEC, as long as it is relevant to the course you are applying for.

However, it is essential to check the specific admission requirements of the institution you are applying to.

Some universities may have specific subject combinations or prerequisites for certain courses, and not having a particular subject in WAEC could affect your eligibility for admission.
