Kanuri UTME Subject Combination in Art/Humanities

For candidates choosing Kanuri, the JAMB brochure gives a specific UTME subject combination for the programme. The course is listed under Arts/Humanities and the exact Kanuri entry is attached to Maiduguri.

JAMB Subjects for Kanuri

The brochure lists the UTME subjects for Kanuri as:

• Literature in English
• Any other two (2) subjects in Arts and the Social Sciences

This means Literature in English is specifically named, while the other two subjects are to come from the Arts and Social Sciences categories.

How to Understand the Combination

The wording is important. The brochure does not name two particular additional subjects. Instead, it allows candidates to select any other two subjects in Arts and the Social Sciences.

Therefore, candidates should not replace this wording with a fixed combination taken from another language programme. The subject requirement should remain tied to the exact Kanuri entry.

Kanuri and Related Language Courses

Kanuri is listed separately from Linguistics and Kanuri in the brochure. Although the names are closely related, candidates should use the UTME requirement attached to the exact programme they intend to study.

The course list also contains other language programmes, so selecting subjects based on a different course could lead to an incorrect application.
