How to check admission subject requirements — JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has provided guidance on how candidates can verify the approved O'Level and Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) subject requirements for their desired courses at tertiary institutions. JAMB emphasized that merely achieving good UTME scores and O'Level results does not guarantee admission eligibility, as each institution has unique subject prerequisites for its academic programmes.

To assist candidates in this process, JAMB recommended visiting the Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS) portal at www.ibass.jamb.gov.ng. The steps to follow are as follows: first, candidates should access the IBASS website and navigate to the brochure section. Next, they need to select the "View All Institutions" option and utilize the institution filter to identify their preferred university, polytechnic, or college of education.

Afterward, candidates should choose the desired course and click on the "View Details" option to access the admission requirements. These details encompass the approved O'Level subject standards and the UTME subject combination necessary for the selected program. JAMB stressed the importance of candidates thoroughly reviewing these requirements to ensure their O'Level subjects and grades meet the stipulated criteria and that their UTME subject combination is accurate.

By conducting this verification before making admission choices, candidates can prevent errors that may impact their eligibility.
