How to Apply for 2026 JAMB Correction of Subject Combination

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has officially commenced the correction of subject combinations for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Candidates who selected the wrong subject combination for their intended course of study are strongly advised to act immediately. Failure to correct an incorrect subject combination could affect admission chances, even with a high UTME score.

If you are unsure whether your subjects align with your chosen course, now is the time to verify and make necessary adjustments.

Who Should Apply for Subject Combination Correction?

This opportunity is specifically for candidates who:

• Selected the wrong subjects for their intended course
• Recently changed their course and need to adjust subjects
• Discovered their current subject combination does not meet admission requirements

It is important to understand that universities strictly follow approved subject combinations. An incorrect selection may automatically disqualify a candidate during admission screening.

Where to Correct Your JAMB Subject Combination

All corrections must be done physically at any accredited JAMB CBT centre nationwide.

Candidates are advised to visit the nearest approved CBT centre as soon as possible to process the correction. Do not delay, as the UTME examination date is fast approaching.

How to Confirm the Correct Subject Combination

Before making any changes, ensure you verify the correct subject combination for your intended course.

You can confirm this through:

• The Myschool Online JAMB Brochure
• The JAMB IBASS system

Always double-check to avoid repeating the same mistake.

How Much Does It Cost?

At the moment, the official cost for this correction has not been confirmed. Candidates will be informed of the applicable fee at the CBT centre during the process.

If you visit a CBT centre and encounter any issues, you are encouraged to document the name of the centre and the amount charged. This helps promote transparency and protects other candidates.

Why You Must Act Quickly

The 2026 UTME is drawing closer. Delaying your correction could create unnecessary complications close to the exam period.

Beyond correcting your subjects, this is also the right time to intensify your preparation. A correct subject combination gives you eligibility, but proper preparation gives you success.
