WAEC and JAMB Subject Combination For Mechanical Engineering: What are the JAMB Subject combination to study Mechanical Engineering in Nigeria?, Must I pass Maths in WAEC to study Mechanical Engineering?, what subjects are needed to study Mech Engineering?
Hello SAVANTS! In today’s episode of my “JAMB doctor Series” you will see the correct Subject combination for Mechanical Engineering, you will also see Direct entry requirement to study Mechanical Engineering through JAMB, JUPEB and IJMB, pretty cool right? STAY TUNED!
For everyone who plans to study Mechanical Engineering in Nigeria, it is important and necessary you know the subjects that are required to becoming a Mechanical Engineer in Nigeria.
I have seen cases, where students who wish to study a particular course go ahead to register the wrong subject combination in JAMB and in their O’level (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB) simply because they were not well informed and would later start searching for means with which they can correct the mistake.
