Admission searchlight into higher institutions comes with lots of loggerheads. This is not necessarily because admission is terrifying. This is sometimes due to applicants’ lack of quality information regarding the selection of correct jamb subjects’ combination for their intended courses.

List of all polytechnics in Nigeria

 In this blog, we will unveil the mystery behind admission disqualification or even changing of courses to another relevant course that matches the erroneous JAMB or WAEC subject combination.

 We would like to correct the popular mistake by the applicants who believe choosing two (2) to three (3) institutions will brighten their chances of admission. Be informed that Jamb is a Unified Examination body. Jamb expects you to choose your most preferred institution which is your first choice.
