Full Explanation

For nursing and nursing science, candidates commonly prepare for English Language, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Because JAMB and institutions can publish course-specific requirements, candidates should confirm through JAMB IBASS and the school admission notice before registering.

Key Things to Remember

English Language is compulsory in UTME.

Biology, Chemistry and Physics are the usual science subjects for Nursing/Nursing Science.

Wrong subject combination can block admission even when the score is high.
