You need to know that the wrong WAEC and JAMB subjects combination has formed part of the reasons why most people fail to gain admission into the Universities in Nigeria, but most people don’t know. They apportion blame on other factors.
But it has been discovered lately that some Universities in Nigeria, will not offer you admission to study your desired course, if you have failed to write your WAEC and JAMB, with the right subject combinations, and that is why this article is here to address the issue once and for all.
So are you a candidate who wants to study geology, and you don’t know the right subject combination for your course? This is an opportunity for you to do it right this time around, by reading this article for details. What is is subject combination, you may like to know? Let’s see what it means!
The subject combination is a way of referring to the list of subjects that a candidate who wants to study a particular course in the university, just like Geology, should register and sit for, both for WAEC and JAMB UTME.
You may want to know why it is so necessary for candidates to put this into consideration, yes, it is important, because when you make a wrong selection of subject for a particular course, and it does not meet the subject combination demanded by your institution, you are bound to be disqualified from the admission of that year.
Now you understand what subject combination means in this context, I will now move over to a brief overview of Geology as a course of study.
