JAMB subject combination for electrical Engineering

This is one of the most popular engineering courses in Nigeria, if not the most common. Studying this course involves a few steps which include registering for JAMB, and registering the correct JAMB subject combination for electrical engineering.

  The other steps to be involved involve the following:

1. Knowing what electrical engineers do.

2. Be a science student

3. Passing the compulsory science subjects in WAEC or any other O’level examination.

4. Passing JAMB

These four steps cover all the preadmission processes of every electrical engineering aspirant.

What is electrical engineering about?

 This must be a question on your mind, and I’m going to answer it shortly. Stay with me.

 Electrical engineering is a branch of engineering that is concerned with the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems that requires the use of electricity and electronics. 

So basically, electrical engineers deal with any system or device that runs on electricity or any form of electromagnetic force. 

That’s the scope of your dream course. 

SSCE requirements to study electrical engineering at the university.

 Before JAMB UTME is written to qualify candidates that will go on to be eventually admitted into the electrical engineering department, there must be a series of examinations, and the first line of action is the WAEC examination or NECO.

 To be able to apply for electrical engineering through JAMB, you must have no less than credit in the 5 compulsory subjects that will be applicable in JAMB and during the admission clearance.

Those subjects include:

1. English language

2. Mathematics

3. Chemistry

4. Physics

5. Biology, agricultural science, or any other subject.

The first four subjects on the list above are necessary for every electrical engineering aspirant, who wants to be a professional engineer.

JAMB subject combination for electrical engineering.

  The final step for securing admission to study electrical engineering in the university or polytechnic involves sitting for the JAMB UTME examination.

  Every electrical engineering is expected to offer four subjects in JAMB, and the subjects include: 

1. Use of English

2. Physics

3. Chemistry

4. Mathematics 

These four subjects are the compulsory subject combinations that every aspirant for electrical engineering must register in JAMB.

 Without them, the student may end up not being able to process his admission into his preferred course.
