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 Computer Science in different institutions. The question that comes to their mind is, “What is the JAMB subject combination for Computer Science?“. That is the exact question I will answer in this article
JAMB Subject Combination for Computer Science include the four subjects(English+3 other subjects) you are required to take in JAMB in order to qualify for admission.
Olevel requirements for Computer Science include the minimum grades you should have in WAEC/NECO/GCE in order to qualify for admission.
Direct entry requirements for computer science will also be discussed on this page.
I will discuss everything in this article.
