The general UTME subject structure shown for History is History and any other two subjects from Arts and Social Sciences. The detailed entry also contains institution-specific variations, so candidates should check the requirement attached to their preferred university.

General UTME Combination for History

The general structure is:

• History
• Any other two subjects from Arts and Social Sciences

This means the basic entry displayed in the table uses History as the main subject and allows two additional subjects from the Arts and Social Sciences group.

Important University-Specific Differences

The brochure gives several variations. For example, ABU requires Use of English, History or Government and any other two Arts or Social Science subjects. ABUJA and FED-LOKOJA accept Government in lieu of History. BENIN accepts History or Government, one Arts subject and any other subject.

Other variations include OAU, which requires History and any two Arts subjects, while UNN accepts History or Government and two other Arts or Social Science subjects. MAIDUGURI requires History/Civic/Government and any other two subjects.

Do Not Assume One Combination Applies Everywhere

The institution-specific information is important because the same History course has different UTME subject details across some of the listed institutions. Candidates should therefore select their JAMB subjects with their intended university in mind.

The admission document also shows variations involving subjects such as Government, Civic Education, Literature in English and other Arts or Social Science subjects.

Before Registering for JAMB
