What is the JAMB brochure?
The JAMB brochure lists every course that universities, polytechnics and colleges offer through JAMB, with the UTME subjects and the O'level grades each course needs. JAMB publishes it on its brochure site, ibass.jamb.gov.ng.
Each school can add its own rules for a course, so read your school's entry too, not only the general rule. Choose your four UTME subjects from it before you register.
Practise your four subjects
When you know your subjects, practise them with past questions and full JAMB mock exams in the Skolra app.
