Do you wish to study Biochemistry in a Nigerian University? Then, you need to check the WAEC and JAMB Subject combination for Biochemistry 2021 in Nigeria. For those that want to apply through Direct entry, you will also find the Direct entry requirements for Biochemistry on this page.
In this article, I will show the the Olevel requirement and JAMB subject combination for Biochemistry from the official JAMB brochure.
Do you know that a lot of aspirants lose admission offer because of Wrong JAMB subject combination?

This is because a lot of them don’t know the right subject combination and O’level requirements required to study their chosen course.
As a result, I have decided to write this article so that you won’t fall victim of this.
All candidates that register for JAMB are required to sit for 4 subjects in their UTME, with the Use Of English being the first and compulsory for all(irrespective of department or course) .
A lot of candidates want to study Biochemistry in different institutions. The question that comes to their mind is, “What is the JAMB subject combination for Biochemistry?“. That is the exact question I will answer in this article
JAMB Subject Combination for Biochemistry include the four subjects(English+3 other subjects) you are required to take in JAMB in order to qualify for admission.
Olevel requirements for Biochemistry include the minimum grades you should have in WAEC/NECO/GCE in order to qualify for admission.
Also, Direct entry requirements for Pharmacy is for DE candidates who wish to gain admission directly into 200:.
I will discuss everything in this article.
