Comparative Religious Studies JAMB UTME Subjects: The Combination to Know

UTME Subjects for Comparative Religious Studies

Candidates preparing to study Comparative Religious Studies should confirm the correct UTME combination before registering for JAMB. The course has a specific subject requirement in the brochure.

The Required Combination

The JAMB brochure states that candidates should take:

• Christian Religious Studies or Islamic Religious Studies
• Any other Arts or Social Science subject
• Any other Arts or Social Science subject

In simpler terms, CRS or IRS is required, followed by two other Arts or Social Science subjects. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Why CRS or IRS Is Central to the Combination

The requirement reflects the comparative nature of the course. Candidates are expected to have a foundation in one of the major religious-study subjects before proceeding into a programme that examines religious traditions comparatively.

Choosing the Other Two Subjects

The remaining two subjects must come from the Arts or Social Science areas stated in the brochure. Candidates should therefore check the classification of their chosen subjects rather than selecting any subjects at random.

Use of English

Use of English is a compulsory UTME subject generally. The course-specific requirement provided in the brochure concerns CRS/IRS and the other two Arts or Social Science subjects.

Do Not Copy From Another Religious Course

Comparative Religious Studies is different from Christian Studies, Christian Religious Knowledge/Studies and Islamic Studies. Although these programmes may share some subjects, their JAMB requirements should be checked separately.

Before JAMB Registration

• Confirm Comparative Religious Studies as the intended course.
• Select CRS or IRS.
• Select two other appropriate Arts or Social Science subjects.
• Confirm the University of Ilorin as the institution offering the exact course.
• Review the latest admission information before submission.

A Useful Admission Check

The brochure places the UTME combination directly alongside the Comparative Religious Studies entry for ILORIN, making it useful for candidates checking their subject choices before registration. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
