JAMB 2019 Subject Combinations: A Student recently asked a question- ‘as an art student what other two subjects can I write in jamb apart from English and literature?’ on our YouTube Channel- ‘DTW TUTORIALS‘ which supports students preparing for JAMB & WAEC with free Maths and Physics Video Tutorials (Please don’t forget to Subscribe to our YouTube Channel). So, I thought it helpful to answer a lot of students with these same questions on their mind with a blog post. Find below JAMB 2019 Subject Combination and WAEC Subject Combination.

Hello Vincent,
It’s only 4 subjects you can select, for your course it’s;
Use of English
History or Government (choose one)
Literature in English
Economics
For WAEC, yes lit in English can replace geography.
Furthermore, it’s always best to confirm from people that are already admitted to the particular university you are going for.
