Are you registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)? This is an important update you cannot afford to ignore.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially opened the portal for correction of UTME subject combinations. Candidates who mistakenly selected the wrong subjects during registration now have the opportunity to correct them.
Why Subject Combination Is Important for UTME
Choosing the correct subject combination is very critical for admission into your desired course and institution. Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education have specific subject requirements for each course.
If your subject combination does not match the requirements for your chosen course, you may:
• Lose admission eligibility
• Be disqualified during screening
• Be forced to change your course
That is why this correction window is extremely important for all 2026 UTME candidates.
Who Should Apply for Correction?
You should apply if:
• You mistakenly selected the wrong UTME subjects
• You later discovered your course requires different subjects
• Your institution’s requirements differ from what you registered
If any of these apply to you, act immediately.
How to Correct Your UTME Subject Combination
To make corrections, follow these steps:
1. Visit any JAMB-accredited CBT centre near you.
2. Request for UTME subject combination correction.
3. Provide your registration details.
4. Confirm the new subject combination before final submission.
Ensure the new subject combination aligns with your intended course requirements.
Don’t Delay – Take Action Now
This is a golden opportunity for candidates who made errors during registration. Delaying could affect your admission chances.
Make sure you:
• Verify your course subject requirements
• Visit an accredited centre promptly
• Keep your correction slip for reference
