JAMB advises applicants to check admission subject requirements on IBASS portal

JAMB has told prospective university, polytechnic and college of education applicants to check the approved O’Level and UTME subject requirements for their chosen programmes. The board warned that good UTME scores and O’Level results do not automatically guarantee eligibility if the required subject combinations are not met.

In an advisory posted on its X platform on Friday, JAMB explained that each institution sets specific subject requirements for each programme. Candidates are urged to visit the IBASS portal at www.IBASS.JAMB.gov.ng and use the brochure section to view all institutions. By applying the institution filter, users can select their preferred school, choose a course and click view details to see the approved O’Level subjects and the required UTME subject combination.

The board stated that applicants should carefully compare their O’Level subjects and grades with the stipulated conditions and ensure their UTME subject combination matches the programme requirements. Checking these details before making admission choices helps avoid mistakes that could affect eligibility. JAMB reiterated that meeting the specific subject requirements of the chosen institution and programme is mandatory, regardless of performance in the UTME and O’Level examinations.
