Official JAMB Subject Combination for Anatomy
Planning UTME for Anatomy? Below is a standard four-subject layout many candidates use — treat it as a checklist, not a substitute for the official JAMB brochure or your university's latest admission criteria.
Key points before you register
A small number of universities allow Mathematics in place of Physics for the fourth UTME paper, but registering Physics is the safer default if you want to stay eligible across the most medical-science faculties.
If you are applying by Direct Entry (not UTME), many programmes ask for two A'Level passes in Biology and Chemistry or Physics, or a relevant B.Sc., NCE, or OND (often Upper Credit or better). Cut-offs and waivers differ by school—use the official JAMB IBASS brochure and the university's admission office for the final word.
