Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are there restrictions on the subjects that can replace Physics subject for Chemistry / Mathematics?
Yes. Any subject used to replace Physics must be officially approved by JAMB for the Chemistry / Mathematics programme. Chemistry / Mathematics generally falls under the Faculty of Education, so acceptable replacement subjects usually come from this category. A typical option includes any core Science.
What steps must I follow to officially change Physics subject before the exam?
To change a subject:
Log in to your JAMB profile on the JAMB portal.
Select “UTME Subject Replacement”.
Choose the new subject (any core Science subject) you want to replace Physics with.
Confirm the change and print the updated registration slip.
Some changes may require visiting a JAMB CBT center, depending on your registration type.
Are there specific deadlines I must meet to replace Physics subject on the JAMB portal?
Yes. JAMB usually sets a cut-off date for subject changes, typically a few weeks before the UTME exam. You cannot change Physics to any core Science subject after this deadline, so it’s important to act early.
Can I complete a subject replacement entirely online, or do I need to go to a CBT center?
Some subject replacements can be done online via your JAMB profile, but in most cases, especially if your change affects course requirements, you may need to visit a JAMB CBT center to confirm the change.
Will changing a UTME subject affect my existing registration details or profile?
No. Changing Physics to any core Science only updates the UTME subjects. Your personal information, exam date, and registration details remain intact.
What common errors should I avoid when replacing a UTME Physics subject in JAMB?
Choosing a subject not approved for your course.
Missing the JAMB subject replacement deadline.
Failing to confirm the replacement or print the updated slip.
Assuming you can change multiple times.
Paying the wrong amount or paying outside official JAMB channels.

After 2026 Chemistry / Mathematics JAMB UTME, What’s Next?
Every candidate that wrote Chemistry / Mathematics examination, is expected to check their result on the official JAMB portal using assigned registration number. Once the result is out and the cut-off mark is obtained, it is important to print your Original JAMB result slip as it will be required during the admission screening process.
Thereafter, we highly recommend that you begin your preparation for the Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) as early as possible. Commence by studying Post UTME past questions to familiarize yourself with the exam format, and ensure you satisfy all additional requirements, including the correct O’Level subject requirements.
Finally, we also suggest organizing and preparing all necessary documents ahead of time such as your original JAMB result slip, O’Level results (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB), birth certificate, state of origin certificate, and JAMB registration slip, to minimize last-minute pressure and make your admission journey as smooth as possible.
